Where does the time go?

This morning Belle was just asking why I don't make as many cookies and treats as I used to. I told her it was because I am more busy now than I have ever been. We are still running here and there all the time. Austin has activites after school at least 3 days a week. Belle has dance once a week. And two of the days I am at school until 5, so I don't get back to town till after 5:30. By then it is time to come home get dinner and then do homework and showers. Then you add in our Bible Study group, and the kids AWANA, two more of our evenings are taken. Oh, well at least we don't have time to say that we are bored!

In the last couple of weeks...

We were running short on time trying to get a family birthday party in for the 3 little kids with their fall birthdays. So, on a spur of the moment thing we threw a party. I was impressed because Paula was out of town, Ed was the one that went shopping and got gifts for the kids. He did well, got both Belle and Carson fun hats and Nessa got a stocking and they all got cash as well. They have had fun spending all the money that they got. I am not sure what we are going to do for Christmas, because it was hard enough shopping for this party!!!

We found an amazing deal for the hotel/water park in Duluth so this past weekend the kids didn't have school on Friday, so we headed up there. Our room had enough bed space for 8 so, my friend from high school and her 2 boys came and stayed with us too. My husband is AWESOME!!!He survived a weekend with 2 women and 6 kids all in one room. The kids had a blast as usual. Here are some pix!

Other news...I WILL be graduating in the spring. I worked it out with one of my instructors to do the one class I need as an independant study type thing. So, as long as I don't fail anything I am good to go! I am hoping to maintain my 4.0 GPA, but with all the stuff going on I am not sure that is going to happen.

For one of my classes we have to shoot Ken and Barbies wedding. I have spent sometime in the last few weeks working on this project. It has turned out to be more fun that I had first thought. I have posted a few of the pictures on Facebook, and will post some on here when I get a chance.

Gotta go, Nessa and I are babysitting our Pastor's baby this morning. She is less than a month old! They will be here soon, so I gotta get moving!
