Well I'm Finally Back.

I never really thought that anybody but my parents ever checked out my blog to see pictures of the grand kids but apparently I have a few readers. We'll my number one reader and fan appears to be my husband who checks my blog daily to see what we are up to while he is at work, so as per his request I'm back to blogging.

While I was on holidays I complied a very large list of things that needed to be done before the snow fell. I'm a great list maker as many of you know. The list included things from having a long hot uninterrupted bath to cleaning up all the down trees from this fall's wind. Some of the things on my list where very time consuming like taking Jesse and Bailey to the schools swimming lessons and helping at the end of swimming; art class. The two most time consuming things on the list where completing scrapbooks of our holiday for me, all 3 kids and Mom & Dad; I also wanted to have all my Christmas shopping bought, wrapped and sent before Dec 1. I'm pleased to say my Mom & Dad's and my scrapbook are complete and except for the gift I need to pick up for my Mother in law on thursday the gifts are done.

Other things on the list where things that I had wanted to try for ages. The above picture of the church is a picture that I took and entered for a photo contest.

Micheal and his friend Justin did a lot of the heavy lifting like putting a new roof on one of the granaries and rearranging furniture. Thankfully all they required in pay was a lasagna dinner and some baking for outreach. Pretty cheap labor.

Today Micheal set up the Christmas tree because Jesse and Bailey were asking every 5 minutes to put it up so they could decorate it. It's beautiful unfortunately it is crooked and half the lights are out. Tomorrow I'll have to take it appart and put it back straight and fix the bulbs that are out while they are at school but they still at 7 & 9 love to sit and stare at it.

Well back to my list and when I finished my last few outdoor chores tomorrow I'll be back to blogging. Hopefully the snow will stay away for one more day.
