Picture Purge

There is no logical explanation of these last 3 weeks.

Things have been just a hurricane at our house.

With out further adue, and with no boring explaining (per Jeff's request) I'll simply bullet my updates. (looking back, it all happened about this fast anyway)

The following serves as the Sanders Family October update!

I'll re-tell the first day of when this saga all began.

It was Saturday, the 22nd. The following is what went down:

5:50am. wake up, get out the door for my usual 5 mile run, back by 6:40 to clean up, pack my lunch, change and bundle up for a bike ride to the crepe stand. 7am-1pm, work in the brisk cold making and serving delicious crepes to the farmers market shoppers, 1:20 pm, zoom up the drive way on my bike to find out YES, I have work @ 1:45, doing some design consulting, 20 min. away.

Shower, do make up in the car, present myself to Burnedette and Scott, present and talk design concept, leave @ 4:45, get home to change into halloween costumes for the family. 5:30, out the door to pick up 22 DOZEN donughts, and 8 gallons of drinks for the party, 6 trunk or treat, 8pm, head for home.

Its no wonder I threw the plastic pumpkin @ Jeff!

And let the story begin!!!!!

In no order:

-Grannie came to town

-we hit up Alexandrias candy shops, and water front

-Girls day to lunch and Lucketts, Va.

-COX FARM w/grannie. a HIGHLIGHT!

-Jeff stole me away for 2 days and a night!!! to celebrate my 30th!

-worked over 35 hours in one week for Welch Contractors! (we've got some great projects, but they've kept me busy)

-(those hours exclude the Crepe Stand hours)

-Decorating and designing nearly 10 signs for a halloween party

-Preformed an Indian cooking Demo

-Organized and ran an pumpkin party

- Going to the gym @ 2am, because I couldn't sleep

-Planning our Christ Centered Fireside, in 1 week

-Picnic dinner on Signers Island

-Did I mention I turned 30!!!?!?!?

-Hair Cuts

-Letting the kids GORGE on candy. And they did, and you know what, no one asked for a treat the rest of the day! (only 10 more pieces to go!!!)

-Lucys 4th birthday. (4, oh my!) Puppet Show, Musical Squares, Necklace Making...

-Wow, why does this not sound like a lot??

I'm disappointed. I've been exhausted. To make my self feel better, I'll add these to the list, the mother usuals: laundry, dinner, diarrhea clean up, nose wiping, driving to and from Dance, Sports Class, Nature Class, Tumbling, Play group, yelling at my children, exercise, grocery shopping, sweeping the floor a billion times, King Frosting the windows, mopping the floors x2, cleaning the toilets x3, raking up the billions of leaves, baking and taking halloween treats around, shopping for birthday parties, cooking classes, work supplies, FOOD, birthday gifts..

Whatever. Its done.

Hope ya'll had an extraordinary October! Bring on the holidays!
