I feel like life has been flying by lately. Between kids at school, homework, more homework, getting meals ready and the looming event of Halloween, life has been in a bit of a tailspin.
In all the busyness, we were able to head out to the Island this past weekend for a weekend off. We had this planned for a few weeks and then we heard that the camp Cici went to this summer was having a weekend retreat the same weekend. Cici of course wanted to go and surprisingly so did Beaner! She hasn't wanted to go to camp because of the fact that she would have to sleep away from us. But, this time, she got up the nerve and went for it. Needless to say both girls had an amazing time, and we got a weekend with just J Man at Paul's parents place.
Other things keeping me busy...
Halloween costumes, I have an owl, a leopard and a dragon to get ready.
I made lots of perogies today. I am getting pretty good at it.
Playing the cello, yup, the cello.
Reorganizing the art in our house.
Going to Ikea to get random things. Did you know that they have a vending machine for spare parts?Yes! Got my shelves put back together because of that machine.
Getting ready to teach the preschool Sunday School class this Sunday.
Trying to find a dentist for my kids.
Getting two of my kids ready for field trips this week.
Thought I'd introduce you to our little buddy.
This is Jumpy.
He is around all the time now and loves to eat the maple seed thingies on our trees.
I thought I'd get a picture of him, this was the best I could do. He's fast, it was getting dark and the focus on my old film lens was crazy to get right. Move it a hair either way and it was out. Oh well, it was fun to try. My family thought I was crazy with a tripod set up in the sink trying to get a shot of Jumpy!
Even though the pictures aren't great I still like the details.
Like his tiny teeth and the way he holds his tiny hands.
Or the crazy skills he has to hold himself on this branch with just 2 toes!
Or how he looks so cute holding his seed.
Or the way his tail curls around to keep him balanced.
That's Jumpy.
He's awesome.
