What a busy morning! I got up early this morning, got dressed and started in on bills. I detest running errands, but it's a necessary part of life if you want water, electricity and a phone.  

I managed to pay bills and run all the errands this morning and make a quick trip to walmart. I had to pick up a few things there that we forgot on our Friday night shopping trip.

I'm more determined than ever to teach my kids at home. We've had some rough times in the last 2 months, but I'm determined to overcome. I have positively stumped on my oldest, but the younger ones I have a pretty good handle on. Schooling the oldest has been quite a challenge.

This weekend was wonderful. We managed to clean up the church property and get the driveway of our home cleaned out. My children had multiple bike parts everywhere and my husband had a few cans of paint and some old rotten boards. They all went!

I also managed to get the leaves raked up out of the driveway and, hopefully, we'll be able to get gravel put in before long. That would be so nice!

This afternoon I'm going to work on grading the kids' work and on my pillowcases that I'm embroidering. I need some down time. I feel like I've been on overload with everything we have going on. I long to just sit quietly and sew. It will be soo relaxing.

Hopefully, I can find some pie pumpkins this week and work them up for pies for Thanksgiving. I love pumpkin pie.............especially made from fresh pumpkin! YUM!

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful fall weather.
