Brrrr.....

WOW! We went from Summer to Winter in a blink of an eye! Okay maybe not Winter, but Fall! I dread cold weather. I dread getting the kids out in the cold, sickness, and snow. I do look forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas though! Speaking of Halloween, I have no clue what my kids are going to be yet...I better get to thinking!!

Not much has been going on lately, besides the usual. I am in the process of starting some home improvements. I want to paint one wall in my living room a burgandy color to give it some color, as well as paint my bedroom brown and teal. I already have the comforter, and the paint I selected matches perfectly! I want these completed during October, and then after the new year, I want to get hardwood floor in my kitchen and two bathrooms, as well as carpet in my living room. After all of this work, my house will be just the way I like it! Oh, well except for downstairs. James is planning on building me some shelving for storage, and I want him to build a wall and block off the storage area of the basement. I told him that could be his winter project....he just looked at me.....he is too focused on deer hunting these days...opening day is tomorrow...I wont see him until it is over! Ha!

This week has been a long one. It started out with James in pain with a horrible tooth ache. Our regular dentist is out of town, so we got him in in Washington and they pulled it. He feels much better! Last night we went to the Jr. High Volleyball game to watch my cousin, but tonight we have no plans really. Trevor will have homework so that will take up a little bit of time. I think ordering a pizza sounds pretty good tonight! I am not much for cooking...lol.

This weekend is pretty busy. Saturday morning, we will go to garage sales, then we are taking Trevor to the demo derby that night. Sunday is my mom's birthday, and we are going to the hometours at Montgomery, and eating at Mi Pueblo afterwards! YUMMY!

Well that is all for now...hope you all are having a great day. I want to say congrats to Chelsa (blogger friend) on finding out she is having another sweet little boy! I also want to give an early congratulations to Sarah Swartzentruber for the birth of her baby boy on October 1st!

The Past Couple Weeks

Not much has been going on in the Riggins Household the past couple weeks, besides the normal daily routine! I am taking a break from college, and I am loving it! It has given me some extra time to spend with my kids! I had a garage sale last weekend, and got rid of some clothes, lots of toys, and home decor. They are alot of work, but the end result is good----EXTRA MONEY! We went to the turkey trot demo on Sunday. Trevor really enjoyed it. We did get a new kitten, Libby a few weeks ago, and it turns out Libby is not a girl. I took her to the vet this week and was rambling on about how mean SHE was, and how fiesty SHE was, and the vet said "I hate to break it too you but your SHE is a HE! I about died. So now Libby is now named Bo. We call him both though...it is so hard to think he is a boy! He would have made a cute girl! Trevor got his mid term grades for the first nine weeks of school, and he had two B's and an A. We were very proud and so was Trevor!

Today I am working, and tonight we are going to the football homecoming. Tomorrow I will check out a few garage sales, and then we will head to the big Scotland Festival to see the one and only Dora. Trevor has a campout tomorrow night with some friends from school, and we have a housewarming party to attend. Sunday I want to plant the mums I got for fall, and I have a Tastefully Simple party to attend that afternoon.

Have a great weekend!

Playing Catch-up

Hello! I thought today would be a good day to catch up on the last two weeks. Trevor started 2nd grade and loves it....the first couple days were rocky, but ever since he has loved it. He has done really well on his spelling and vocab tests! I am so proud of him. Kelsye is growing like a weed, and makes me laugh all the time. She is a character.

We have been enjoying this cool, nice weather. I love having the windows open, and not having to be stuck in a house that is shut up all the time. Before you know it, we will be having to turn our heat on! Boo!

We did add an addition to our family-a kitten-Libby. She resembles our cat Tobi that died a year or so ago, and also resembles Max the cat we have now. Libby just turned 7 weeks old! I love her, and so do the kids! Max, is not fond of her yet....we have tried, but for now she stays in Trevor's room during the day.

I got done with my Managerial Accounting class last night, and got news I got an A in the class. That was by far the hardest class, and not enjoyable. I have decided to take a break from classes. I feel very overwhelmed, and I feel as if my whole life is centered around these classes. I have to make time to do my homework, and that usually means I have to take my kids somewhere so I can concentrate, or leave them to entertain themselves. I will probably start back in the Spring of 2010, and hopefully complete my degree by December 2010.

Well that is all for now, everyone have a safe Labor Day weekend!
