Fall Days....

Hi Everbody,
Fall is in the air wouldn't you say? Nice warm days, and cool evenings. The leaves falling off the trees.... Awww, I love this time of year. It also means that Halloween is on its way.

This year the three peeps and me will be dressing up as The Wizard if Oz. Micaela will be Dorthy, Grant Tinman, Bethany the Lion, and I will be Glenda the Good Witch. My sister Heidi and her son Jacob will also be dressing up along with us. She will be the Bad witch, and Jacob the scare crow. It is going to be so much fun.. I can't wait.

Next week starts my second week of preschool. I have 2 really good groups of kids this year, so I am excited to try some new and exciting things with them. Preschool keeps me on my toes, which is why I am usually very exhausted on Tuesdays and Thursdays. hahahaha While I haven't decided whether or not I will continue after this year because Bethany will be in Kindergarten, and I need a bigger income, I know that I am going to enjoy it while I can.

The kids are busy. We got Micaela all signed up for girl scouts, Grant in boy scouts, all three in gymnastics, dance, Sunday School and Wednesday night kids group, & Grant and Micaela in 4H.. It all keeps us busy.

Grant just started the 2nd grade and is bringing home homework.. Man, that's a bit early for homework.. Micaela is learning to read, and is seems to be enjoying school a bit more this year. Bethany is still in school with me.. Geesh my baby turns 5 in Novemeber.. Seems unbelievable.

Things are going well with Kurt and I. The alternating of 7 days on and 7 days off with the kids seems to be working. I am still having my "bad" days, but am working through them and am going to start seeing somebody. The divorce just happened way to fast for me, and therefore I really haven't adjusted well. Kurt on the other hand seems very very happy with his girl friend Sandy from Utah. She came to visit a couple weeks ago, and seems like a very nice lady. As hard as it is, I wish them both the very best. I remind myself everyday that everything happens for a reason, and this is the "plan" for us. He is still the worlds best father so that is all that matters.

All in all things are going well. Living life day by day, and enjoying my truely wonderful kiddos...

Happy FALL everyone...

Papa's Pumpkin Patch

This past weekend the kids and I enjoyed a nice weekend escape to Bismarck. We stayed at the Country Inn, and enjoyed the pool and Waterslide.

After filling our bellys with Olive Garden, we headed over to Papa's Pumpkin Patch for a beautiful afternoon of fall adventure. The kids played in the straw, ran around the pumpkins, watched them catapult pumpkins across a field, and just enjoyed the great outdoors. I was a bit worried as it was a cold 30 degrees on our drive to town Friday night, and even more worried to see it snowing by Wilton, but it was a lovely 55 degrees with a cool breeze, and lots of sun. The kids were so tierd they all took naps on the way home.

Once again, I dont know why I can't post pictures to my blog. I will be posting them on my facebook page for all too see...

Happy Autumn Everyone!!!!!

Days Away

The last couple of weeks have been kind of hard. Kurt had the kids a full two weeks, so I have been kind of lost. Yes it has been nice to have some alone "me" time, but it feels rather weird to not see your kids each and every day, and if you do, for only a short while.. Going to take some getting used too.

Kurt is going to be taking the kids camping in Devils Lake this Labor Day weekend, so I know the kids will be up for some fun. The informed me that they didn't care if daddy went and camped in a tent in the woods, they were going to camp in Grandma Mavis's drive way. It is so funny. They are more excited about seeing grandma and grandpa then camping.. :) Too cute.

I went to Fargo Tue, Wed and Thursday. Spent some much needed time with my BFF Tennille. She is expecting her first child in les than a month, so I am excited to rush down there again when the baby comes.. So EXCITING....

Things have slowed down in the home improvement department. Area of focus is now the preschool. I had fun in the teacher store in Fargo getting things to start the year. I am anxiously awaiting the start of school. Preschoolers are so young, innocent and up lifting. They really make me feel like life is worth living. So awsome to have so many little souls love you. I can't wait.

Life seems to be on course for the most part. I would love to say that things are 100% normal, but what is normal? I sure as heck dont know.. hahahaha

All in all, I can't wait for the peeps to come Sunday night, so that I can spend some good quality time with them. I get them for 2 weeks, as Kurt will be having some company, so it works out well. So great that Kurt and i can work things out so nicely. He really is the worlds greatest dad!!!!

Should have more to report when after I have the kids for a while, and preschool starts.

Happy Fall Everybody!!!!
