These are some pics I took at the pumpkin patch. It is so fun to see all the bright colors at the market.

Brazen History
I recently got a bee in my bonnet about scrapbooking some old family pictures. I don’t have the time or energy for a full-blown family scrapbook of my ancestors leading up to me, and I don’t even really have a PLAN about which era I’m going to record, but I knew I needed to digitize […]

T.G.I.S.
Don’t you love Saturdays? I love them. And this is the first one in quite some time that we have been home and Trent hasn’t had to work. I don’t really notice anyone else who notifies the rest of the blog world about their mundane daily updates, but I feel the need to post every […]

Go glo-sticks!
What started out as a trinket from the $1 bin at Michael’s to occupy Carson while I found what I needed turned into quite a bit of fun for us at home. These glow sticks were cheap, but they worked, especially when we went into the window-less laundry room, where we spend two separate sessions […]

Am I first?
A few of us in our blog family participated in an annual family tradition of the pumpkin patch last Saturday. I didn’t get a ton of pictures, but I got a few keepers. Hopefully more will come from Steph and Peaby. Enjoy!

A Walk and a Hat
We finally got a chance to go for a walk today. Walks are different now. It used to be a time of exercise for me, with Carson in a stroller. He is no longer content in a stroller for longer than, oh, I’d say about 10 yards. Actually, make that 10 feet. So walks are […]

Top Five Things I Have Learned about Substitute Teaching in the Last Three Weeks

Always check your shoes on different surfaces before you leave the house. Loud, squeaky shoes […]

Such a steal!
This random post is for my Oregon blog readers…at least I think this only applies to you. If you have never purchased spices in the bulk food section at Winco…you are really missing out! I decided I was craving the taste and smell of pumpkin bread, and that instead of paying $1.85 for one slice […]

Great Grands
I have been meaning to spend more time with my grandparents now that I live closer to them. Of course those intentions don’t always become reality, but we had a fun chance to spend some time with them this afternoon. I brought my camera to capture some shots of Carson with his great-grandparents. Carson enjoys […]
