Our Makers Acres

Picture of the kids and I

We were messing around earlier this week and I wanted my friend to take a picture of the kids and I. We were having fun taking pictures and the kids were posing for the camera and it as alot of fun, but I wanted to share this picture of the 6 of us so you can see us all together.......

Windy Sunday............

Wow and when I say windy I mean windy.. A cold front is blowing in and it is getting cold as well.. The kids are outside playing and yet they are running around in thier coats and etc... I just made some spaghetti and I am getting ready to finish my speech that is due Tuesday..

I have a couple of errands to run in town in a bit and a little guy to take home. I am waiting for his mom to call and tell me she is ready to meet and then Jacob will be home after supper tonight.. He went to his friend Justice's b-day y'day and spent the night and they were going to mess around all day today and come home later..

Well Dj's mom just called so I guess I am headed to town to run my couple errands, drop him off and pick up something from my moms and then home again home again to work on my speech and my math stuff as well..

I hope you guys are having a great and wonderful day.. Church this morning was wonderful....

Home and tired...

We are home from our trip.. Wow what a long day.. I am so tired.. I have stuff to but away, but I am resting and checking mail and etc... The kids had a good time and it did us good to get away for a little bit.. The kids had so much fun. The acted like they had not ever been to a hotel before which to be honest I am not sure that most of them had been..

We found many bargains today. To many to name at this moment.... LOL I did find Jacob a really nice and good Tommy coat for like 5 bucks and a like new polo sweater for 4 bucks.. I got Jordin some nice jeans and myself some dress pants. The girls found somethings.

I really thought the kids would sleep on the way home tonight, but I guess they wanted to make sure that I stayed awake because they were awake and talking and singing all the way home.. It was nice of them, but part of me wished they would go to sleep and let me have some peace.. LOL

Well I am going to bed, but will talk to you later..

God Bless,

Fun Fun Fun Fun

The 4 younger kids and I along with my friend Steph are all sitting here in a hotel in the city in a hotel for the night. We are going to hit some thrift stores tomorrow and just have a day out to relax and have some fun along with finding some bargains.. We have been wanting to do something fun for awhile now and the chance has arisen so that is what we are going to do...

****BTW mom when you read this I forgot to go by your house and leave that thing, but I will be back tomorrow and will drop it off then...****

OK sorry needed to add that note for my mom.. The kids are excited and 2 of them are asleep.. They have no school tomorrow and had an early out today.. It was parent teacher conferences. The kids are all doing pretty well.

Well I am going to get for now.. Will let you know what I find in the way of bargains.

Tomorrow I am going to spend that day at Poppa Charlie's Pumpkin Patch with Jeremiah and his class.. I am so excited and can't wait to do that..  He is excited as well. Please say a little prayer for him as he has not felt right for a couple of days, but is not really sick either.. Please also pray that it is not cold cold there tomorrow.. I am going to take pictures so I will share with you all ..

Long Day....

Today has been a long day.. I am getting ready to head to bed.. I took a nap today as I had a headache and just didn't feel real good.. Tomorrow morning I do not have to go to my 1st class so I do not have to be at school till 11.. WOOHOO I am excited about that..

Tonight was kinda a fend for yourself sandwhich and chip kinda night.. The kids loved it. We are going to try to do something fun this weekend.. I have no idea what yet, but we are thinking..

What do ya'll have planned for this weekend?? I have to finish mowing the yard and a few things, but other than that not much is planned as of yet.. I think we will do some baking.. The kids love to cook so we will do some of that and make some fall recipes since it is going to be a wonderful fall weekend here in North Missouri..

Well I am off to bed.. Talk to you tomorrow..

God Bless,

Late Night Ramblings from me..........

Wow it is later than I thought it was and I am ready for bed, but I need to finish the laundry up before I can go to sleep..  I took a nap today and that was nice and much needed.. I had some time to myself and did some school stuff, took a nap then I read my book.. Wooohoo..

We had free lunch Wednesday again and I believe this just might have been the best one yet.. We had homemade Chicken and noodles with mashed taters, hot rolls and corn.. It was so yummo I could have eaten more.. That is my kinda meal.. I found out yesterday what they were serving today and I made sure I got there early...

I went out and started mowing the yard tonight and the lawnmower was acting weird and then it died so I quit for the night and thought I would tackle it tomorrow.. I need to get that done and weed eat...

I am getting everything done for my informative speech in speech class and I am looking forward to getting that all done. School is going pretty good... It is hard to believe that next week is mid-terms, but I am ready for it..

I have been stocking up on things for our family and doing some research on a few things that might help us out. Crunching some numbers and seeing all that I can figure out.. I know that I have things running through my mind and I am formulating a plan....

Well I think maybe the washer has finished up.. I need to get off here and get that stuff done and get to bed.. I hope that each of you is having a wonderful day and that you are blessed...

God Bless,
