We are into October!  Wheeeeeee!

We’ve had tons of fun.  Here are a few bullet points from our last week in no particular order:

  • Maddie finished her colors unit in Kindergarten.  She wore a specific color every single day for the past 2 weeks and finished with rainbow color!  Her amazing teacher made them a mask in almost every color.  This one is her favorite.  It’s pink on one side and has candy on the other.
  • Chloe and I cleaned out the downstairs craft room
  • I was able to donate our broken bikes to an organization that will help restore bikes for kids so I didn’t have to take them to the dump.
  • I made cheddar broccoli soup and it was delicious
  • Chloe is going to youth group now on Wednesday nights at church
  • We walked down to see the haybales (see picture!)
  • Our church had a food truck after the service this week to celebrate 22 years of being a church.  Yippie!
  • Josiah is in a flag football league with his friends from church.  He’s having a blast
  • Chloe and Josiah have decided that they both want to start using the elliptical like I am in the mornings so we each watch a show of our choice and run for 30 min.  Who knew I would need to fight for time on the exercise equipment!?  Ha!
  • I also cleaned out the linen closet as well as the downstairs kitchen cupboards and organized the hat/mitten bins for each person to have their own bin now.  Slowly but surely I’ll make it through the house!  Next up this week is the cabinets under the bathroom sinks… that’s a doosey.

Weight loss update:  Things are going very well.  I’m down another 2 pounds this week bringing my grand total to 11 pounds so far.  I’m feeling much stronger and overall so much happier.
