Today we are going to church and then I need to do laundry and clean house.
We went shopping yesterday and got the pumpkins and hay. I got the pre-school and our house decorated for Fall now. They both look so cute. I need to get some pictures of Mandy with our Fall display.
I do not have much else going on today, so I will try and visit today too. Have a nice week!!

It is our town’s clean-up day today. The city makes available 4 big dumpsters and you can drop off your big trash. We have dropped off a computer, tires, old windows and chairs…big stuff like that before. We had a few things in our shed to get rid of today, so Karl got up early and started taking things down. He is gone to feed his dad’s cows now. Maybe when he gets back we can see if there is anything else we need to get rid of. I love that they do this, it is completely free and it seems like we accumulate junk over the years. This is just an easy way to get rid of it and keep our house/lawn looking nice.
I gave Mandy her bath yesterday, so I just need to clean house and get the laundry done this weekend. We do not have any plans, so I can get a little rest too. Have a nice day!

The Life Groups went well last night. We had a lot of fun. It is back to work and school for all of us today, I need to turn in my blog and my study guide for chapter 4 for my class today.
I actually got the birthday goodies posted on my birthday pages last night and Joshua’s too. I was able to empty my inbox for the first time in a long time. I also got all of my housework done, which I didn’t think would happen. Go Me!! I even started decorating my house for Fall.
My Fall and Halloween pages are posted, you can find the links over on the left column.
Joshua seems to be feeling a little bit better. Have a nice week!!

I worked on my Fall and Halloween pages last night. I at least have those decorated, so I can just add things as they come in. I feel like my website is so neglected. I am just so busy anymore. I decided yesterday, just to decorate those pages and not visit blogs. I had a horrible headache most of the day, so I just did the pages and got them out of the way. I still have birthday goodies to add also for myself and Joshua.
Today we are going to church and then I will do my normal cleaning and laundry. We are starting Life Groups with our church tonight, they are basically small groups that will take the place of Sunday School at the church. We do not have room at the church for Adult Sunday school, so this is what we will do in place of that. We are going to try it out. The group is not far from our house, so that will be nice.
I am not sure when I will be able to visit blogs. I am hoping this next week will not be so crazy. Have a nice day!!

It has been a bit of a crazy week. Joshua has been sick with his asthma and was home Monday and Tuesday from school, he stayed with his Grandma. He went back to school Wednesday, but he is still not feeling the best and is having breathing treatments. I so love fall, but until we have a good freeze, he is going to have trouble. It makes me feel sad for him. Pray for him if you think about it.
Today I need to give Mandy a bath and we need to go to Wal~Mart and get some groceries.
I got paid this week, so I went shopping and picked up a few things to wear at school. I got some capris and 2 new fall shirts. I am just trying to pick up some new things so I am not wearing the same clothes over and over again. I still need some more long pants to wear.
I have been working on my classroom blog for school this week. I have to turn it in on Monday. It is finished and ready to turn in now if you want to look at it. It is here. I am thinking about actually using it for my classroom. I have some really good parents that I think would enjoy reading what we are doing in class. I do not always have time at school to write notes about what is going on. This gives me the chance to write down what is going on in my spare time. Here is the link: Miss Lori’s Classroom Blog.

Adriane and I had such a good time yesterday, we ate at the Mexican restaurant we like to go to and then we went and had our Pedicure soak. We had our toenails painted and they look so pretty. We then went to PetSmart, Target and another pet store and looked around. Then we went to Adriane’s house and updated her MySpace website. I came home and I got my comforter on the bed. It is pretty, I think I like it. I have to get used to new things like that. I also added some links to my classroom blog. I posted the link yesterday if you would like to see it, it is still a work in progress.
Today we are going to church, I have to do laundry and clean the house. It is a mess. Have a great day!!

When I wrote last my ankle was getting stiff, it was hurting really bad at bed time, so I put an ankle brace on it and a heating pad. I also prayed a lot and it was much better by morning. I wore the ankle brace to work Thursday and my ankle is fine now. It is a bit swollen still, but it does not hurt.
We went shopping the other night and found a new comforter set for my bed!! I am so excited to get it put onthe bed, but I haven’t had time. I do have it washed though. Maybe I can get it on tonight.
I have been trying to get my homework done. I mentioned I was working on the educational blog for my class, I have it started, it is ugly right now, but you can look at it… http://highlandvilleecse.blogspot.com/ I also need to put some links to educational sites for pre-schoolers on there, so if you know any good ones, I would love it if you shared. We do not have internet set up for the kid computers yet, I am wanting to do that this year though. Anyway, I haven’t looked for pre-school sites in a long time.
Adriane and I are going for our Pedicure Soak today. She said we will put our feet to soak for 30 minutes and the people will come back and take the dry skin off our feet and do our toenails and paint them. I am so excited. It will be so relaxing. I have never done this before. We will have fun we always do, I think we are going to go shopping at PetSmart too, maybe I can get a collar for Mandy. We are also eating lunch together and who knows what else we may do.
Karl and Joshua are going to a baseball game tonight. I may try to visit tonight if possible, I have a million things to do around the house though and I am not sure when I will be back home. Have a nice weekend.
