It's Official~Summer's Over...

Mina went to sixth grade this morning. She has been in school for about one-half hour now. They are starting at 9:30 all this week to accomodate sports practice. She wasn't quite ready to go back to school this year, and honestly we weren't ready to send her either. The summer just went by so fast, most of it is a blur! We have also almost come to the end of the month of August too! Chris and I are getting things put together to take to the craft show in Giltner the first two weekends of September. I go and drop stuff off next week for that, and then we start with getting things ready for Christmas shows. We are having fun making Halloween beads currently. Chris is working on ghosties and bats that seem to come from the doofus end of the gene pool, but those are too funny. I will get some pictures up of the bats and ghosts and he will also be trying his hand at jack-o-lanterns, witches, Frankenstein, and maybe Dracula. With the fang issue on the bats, Dracula could turn out pretty hilarious too! We spent yesterday afternoon with friends at the water park (I kept a lounge chair company as to not hurt myself again!) and then went for a quick tour at the park next to the water park since the kids weren't ready to go home, and we weren't ready to stop visiting with our friends. What a great blessing friends are. They make you smile, laugh, and just feel good. Have you hugged your friends today?
