Katies Challenge #5

Blog a letter. It can be to yourself or someone you know or perhaps to someone you don't know. It can be about any topic you like it should just read like a letter. Can't wait to see what you write.

Dear Blog,

I just wanted you to know how much I enjoy leaving you pictures and comments several times a week.

Its nice to have a place for my friends and family to come and see whats been going on in my life.

Its always a pleasure to have you to write down my daily thoughts, share my Scrapbooking and just write about life in general.

Thanks for always being here for me to come and hang out and leave you stuff.

Hugs and prayers,
Stephanie

I'm about finished shopping for BTS for the boys. I took Mckay out yesterday and found some things for him. Of course He cost a little more than Seth. But we did find some great deals for him too. He found this great pair of Union Bay jeans for $15 and they fit him great. He is so skinny.. its hard to find jeans that fit right.

I can finish up their supplies at school both schools sale bundles of supplies for the kids and the funds helps school organizations. Gotta do that next week..

Next week will be busy busy busy.. BTS stuff, meetings,XC practice, Holiday World is planned for Tuesday. Can you believe that Michael is taken off work to go. Should be nicer to go during the week maybe there will be less ppl.

Last night we went to the drive in and watched Harry Potter.. I wasn't as impressed with this one as the others. And we saw Licence to Wed.. not as funny as I thought it was going to be.. it was OK.

Today I think we are go to see some Go-cart racing at one of the local campgrounds.

Michael is still sleeping this is so odd for him. This guy gets up early everyday. Usually by 7 on his days off. Its 9:30 now.. wow!!

Maybe if I have time later I will play with my new goodies that Pam sent me in the swap.

Have a great Sunday!

Now when I can find that camera software I will get it loaded in the gallery at PG.

I havent been able to resize it correctly to get it to fit into the gallery..

Oh well!

Wow its been busy around here.

Mckay is off to camp, he will be home Friday afternoon.

We have been doing some fun stuff without him. We all went to Kids Zone in New Burg on Tuesday night.. took Seth for pizza and games. That was fun. even though I wasn't feeling the best after my Dr visit.

My Dr visit went fine by the way nothing to worry about just a check and a small procedure in the office.

I took Seth shopping for school clothes yesterday. We hit Target got almost everything he needed clothes wise. Needs shoes yet though. It was much easier than trying to take both boys at once. He really didn't want to go. But we came to an agreement. If he went shopping and picked out clothes. I would take him to Olive Garden for lunch. That was a good deal. It worked.

I got some great deals.
We got 2 pair of Levis 3.98 for each, 5 shirts for 3.99 or 4.99, 2 pair of cargo pants/shorts, underwear, socks and a backpack.. all for $85 bucks!! yay!!

So Seth just needs shoes and school supplies at least those I can get at school the PTO packs up a kit for each class..

I worked on embroidery yesterday got some things finished. I still have some of those pink tote bags I need to finish for the girls at church.

I have a friend that might come over to scrapbook tonight. The bug has hit again. I need to get some stuff finished.

As you see I did Katie's Blog challenge. It was a challenge for me not to post any captions with my pictures.. wow.. but I did it..

The pool isn't looking to bad. It still is rather clear. Not perfect but lots better.

We went bowling last night with the children at church K-5 grades. We almost always chaperon at these things. I think there was about 15 kids several adults too..We all had fun!

Our garden is growing like crazy now. The pumpkins are getting huge, the beans are overflowing, the tomatoes are starting to ripen and the corn should be ready soon.

We have cucumbers and squash too.. yummy!!!

I thinking salsa making is in our near future... love that stuff!!

I talked to my Best Friend Beth last night and she is coming this fall sometimes to visit me.. its been several years since we have seen each other. Wow I can wait!!

I haven't run this much this week I need to get out and do that. I just hate leaving Seth alone in the morning even if he is sleeping to run here by the house.

I'm hoping to get a LO finished about running soon!! its been running through my head for awhile now. I should get it down on paper soon!!

Hey if your reading this and are interested in coming here to scrapbook let me know. I could set something up. Depending on home many people are willing to travel. I could host something.

I heard my Favorite Aunt was in town. They are going to the big air show in Osh Kosh.. they go almost every year.. Their son lives here still so they picked him up. Maybe I will get to see her and uncle on their way back.

Wow if you got this far thanks for reading my blog!!

Challenge #4 "The BFF's"

That was hard to do..

Mckay is gone to camp now. I got Michael to drop him off at the church. He was packed and ready before XC practice this morning.

This is his first camp. He has been away from home many of times, that doesn't worry me.

I tried to keep myself busy.. loaded the dishwasher, mowed grass(ran out of gas), went to the post office, got stuff at WM for Mckay's adventure.

Michael I think finally got the exhaust fixed on his truck like it should have been the first time. This is the third time he took it to the shop. that's a long story.

So now I need to figure out what to have for dinner. Maybe Seth and I can persuade dad to go out to eat. hmm. wish me luck.

I need to work on Katie's Blog Challenge. I have an idea.. so it shouldn't be a big deal.

I have been running bit by bit again.. finally that blister is gone. seems like the new shoes aren't the problem..

Have a great day!
