Little Pieces of Me: I dropped the ball....

sorry about that. I've been doing so well keeping this updated and then boom - I dropped the ball. In my defense though, Pete has been gone the last 2 weeks and I had to be a 'single mom' for a bit. It wasn't too bad though but I did let some things go. I did get a lot of svg's made but I haven't cut any. I'll post a few of them at the end with a link. I'd post them all but there are just way too many so I'll give them away a little at a time. Besides, I need some way to get you all back here to read this

As I said, Pete had been gone for 2 weeks for work but he made it home safe and sound Friday night. And....drum roll please.....he passed his last test with a 95! Woot woot! So proud of him. On top of that, he doesn't have to go back anymore - yippee!!! He's all done and is now a Journeyman Signalman/Maintainer. So glad it's all over.

Unfortunately I haven't gotten any new layouts done but I am working on some cute treat cups I'm making for Tyler's class for Halloween. I should have them done soon so I will post a picture of them. I'm pretty happy with the way they are turning out. I've also started a layout with some pictures that Pete took of the kids today. They turned out adorable! It was a perfect day for some fall pictures with the exception of not too many leaves

You can see the pictures he took by going here - the top 3 rows are the ones he took today.

Hoping to go to the pumpkin patch soon - love the photo ops there and taking the kids is a lot of fun.

I have an appt this weekend for the kids to have old time photos done. MOPS is doing a fund raiser with a photo place called Antiquities and this is what we will be doing. I'm excited. I missed it last year as I did not join MOPS until around December. Can't wait to see how they turn out.

We also have to squeeze Kaylie's birthday party in there somewhere. I'm debating on whether or not to do it on her actual birthday or not. I think if I wait and do it the same day it may be too much to have a party and then go trick or treating. So I'm thinking of doing it either the night before or the weekend before. We'll have to see how it works out.

I also wanted to take them to the Zoo Boo but it doesn't look like we will be able to fit that in too. Have to play it by ear. Lots going on this month!

Oh and I'm hoping to get family pictures done soon. NOT this month but hopefully next. We're going to try out JcPenney and see how they are. I really liked the ones we did last year at The Picture People. And I loved having them same day but JcPenney is closer and I've heard good things about them too so we'll see.

Alrighty I will quit rambling and get to what a lot of you came for
