A productive week

Wow what a week. We even got snow twice. It is mostly melted now, but it sure was pretty to see. In fact we even worked in it outside on Monday.

1. Continue to work on our outside chores and all the inside ones that are needing done before winter.
We actually did quite a bit of this last Monday. Most of the yard work is now done. It feels good to know that if it snowed and stayed right now it would be alright. 


Hard to tell, but I cleaned out the flower bed and Sarah and I raked leaves and put them in the pumpkin bags. A tradition in our house every year.

2. We had our first visit with our foster care support worker yesterday and as I said before she left a ton of information and a ton of paperwork for us to do. So this month I plan on working on that. The sooner we can get that done the sooner we can get our home study started. She figures over two months for the home study so I need to get on it. :)

Not a lot done on this one. But it my defense it was a crazy week. Plus maybe I shouldn't have worked on so many crafts. LOL

3. Working on crafts. I am hoping to get a lot of Christmas crafts/gifts done this month. This one is a bit more of the hopeful. LOL

I actually have finished two and have 3 more on the go. I spent the good part of today after cleaning, sewing. 
This is one of the crafts that I did. Keep an eye out soon for a tutorial. 




I had such a fantastic day. The sewing machine running, Sarah in the next room visiting with me and we were listening to praise music all day. Does it get any better than that?

I am linking up today with Aurie today. Come and cheer on some others while they work on their 3 in 30 goals this month.

  2. SNOW!? We finally got rain friday after more than 80 days of no measureable rain. That's a long time for the Seattle area!

    I need to clean the garden too, I guess now that we have our rains, summer is over and the garden will be dying..... You sound like you did a lot!

    1. 80 days? Wow that is a long time. We used to live on Vancouver Island so I totally understand. The rain was probably a welcome sight. :)

      Thank you for stopping by. :) I love visitors.

  3. Good for you getting the outside chores done! But snow? We're still having temperatures in the 80's and 90's here. Ugh! Time for some cool weather. Way to go on your third goal, and you've got plenty of time for the second one!
