It's Fall in Nebraska

It's cool weather here! The kids are scrambling for jackets in the mornings for school, and although many of the trees have lost leaves already, finally with sunny days after rain we're seeing some color. The grass is really green, and there are still lots of flowers blooming. Seems kind of strange, but hey, I prefer flowers in October to snow!!
I had a good trip to ND to see Dalayna, Wade & Jessi. Unfortunately I forgot my camera... what a horrible thing!! I took some pictures on Dalayna's camera, but will have to wait for her to get them to me. I was hoping to see fall colors on this trip, but it was pretty much the same as here, many leaves had fallen because of rain & wind. Ironically I saw "fall" in the road ditches!! I wished I could have had a picture of that. In SD, along #50, the roadside grasses/weeds were a riot of color- purples, reds, greens, yellows & oranges. I took Meshayla, Morgen, Kara and Kaela with me. The kids had fall break Thurs & Fri from school. Kaela was NOT impressed... 'Mom, do we have school NEXT Thurs & Fri"? "yes- why?" Well, I do not think we need to stay home!" O.K. girl, I hope your that happy to go to school when you're 15!

I missed seeing Harriet & Charlotte by about an hour, they stopped by Dalayna's, hoping to see us, but we weren't there yet. I did talk to Charlotte on the phone after I got there, and she sounded like she was settling in fine! There are NE connections in the area where she is, so she didn't feel too lost! Harriet was getting ready for some surgery this week, so while she's recovering from that, Charlotte will be helping out the sisters in the field where Dalayna and Wade are.

This weekend is our 2 day scrap, Friday and Saturday. Jeanne has a job interview in Sidney on Saturday, and then she will be bringing Kyrie back to Kearney to spend the week with us. On Friday night we'll all go out to Sidney for Kyrie's 3rd birthday party on Saturday. It's going to be a busy (and hopefully fun!) week.

Our TV spots continue... sometimes Luanne and I walk out of there shaking our heads, or cracking up laughing about what we must have looked/sounded like!! Today we showed how to make a fun (fast!!) little journal/album. We have to have everything pre-cut, lined up and ready to put together, because 4 minutes is NOT very long! We have done some fun projects tho, you can see them on our web site. Next week we're going to start doing scrapbook pages for one of the anchor gals that wants to learn to scrapbook. That may be a challenge in 4 min. too! MAY??!! WILL BE!
