Open House!

Believe it or not the holiday's are rapidly approaching! And we have put together an open house hosting all of your favorite products so you can 'one-stop-shop'! Whether you want to stock your cupboard with Tastefully Simple goodness or have a new piece of Accentz Jewelry to wear to a holiday gathering or you want your house to be filled with the wonderful fall/winter Scentsy aromas, we will have all the latest and greatest for you! Or make some headway on your Christmas gift giving list!!!

Check out the flyer below and stop by on Friday, November 5th from 6-9pm. Everyone is invited so grab your friends, neighbors, sisters, your mom, aunts, co-workers or whoever else and bring them along! Make it a fun girls night out. Not sure what Tastefully Simple, Scentsy or Accentz is all about? Come over, have a beverage or two and do some browsing. It'll be fun! Remember, this is open house style so come anytime!

Feel free to forward this on to anyone else who might be interested!

In case you aren't familiar with where my house is, here are some quick directions: 2420 Lucas Rd is on Lucas across the bypass (on the country side, not town side). We are about 5 houses down on the left side. There is a white fence across the front and along the drive and the house is a two story brick.

Hope to see you next Friday!!!

Last Friday

Yep, I'm a week behind. And yep, I forgot my camera for the hayrack ride. And yep, Colby was no where near again, have no photos of her. She was on the 'big kids' hayrack. What is it with these pre-teens??? All of a sudden they just have WAY too much to do besides hang around their parents to get their picture taken? So....a few pics from a friend.....

(Creighton is in the purple t-shirt and the gray sweatshirt--after I FORCED him to put it on:)

Time Out

Friday night we took the kids to a hayrack ride out near where we used to live. It was fun, but a late night. Colby then spent Saturday in Davenport with a friend getting facials and manicures. Creighton had soccer and baseball and I worked outside all day. By Sunday we were all tired, wore out and the attitudes were less than admirable. Adults included. So we took a little family time out this afternoon, put all work aside and went fishing. It was so much fun! I've never had that much fun fishing! Creighton is the master fisherman. I never realized until today that it really does take some skill to catch a fish--he definately has it mastered! He was pulling in one fish after another. Two big catfish, one largemouth bass and a bunch of little bluegill. Colby caught a few bluegill. And I caught a couple little fish and one big largemouth bass--that was fun! And Greg..well he took fish off of hooks and put worms on. And best part...this is our backyard. (Colby was the one behind the lens today so that's why no pics of her)


And yes, I was using a Spiderman pole :) The kids got new poles this year. So I got the old Spidey pole. Ha!

Leaves

Creighton spends LOTS of time raking....he loves to make a big pile to jump in. He raked so much this weekend, he got a new football out of the deal. Pretty darn cute boy if you ask me!
