Rewind...

This Labor Day weekend sure has me slacking on my chores.  I was able to get quite a bit done yesterday while T finished the shed in the side yard (pics to come soon).  I was able to get most of the laundry done, the linens washed for the bed, vacuumed, cleaned the kitchen as well as put together a new hamper for the laundry room.  I felt like I actually DID accomplish something.  But I am thrown off of my usual schedule since T and I have been spending so much free time together.  Not that I am complaining!  And it will continue today as we head out into town (only people who live way out in the middle of nowhere say that) and do some interesting shopping. 

Our shopping trip today consists of checking out stores and shops we have never been to.  There are a bunch of trade/second hand NICE shops in one shopping center that we want to check out as well as Annibel's Attic which is mostly antiques (of which I am not a big fan) but also just unusual items you can't find in a regular store.  Then we are heading to one of the malls that is having a huge Labor Day sidewalk sale.  I am sure I will buy things I really don't need!!

Later today I am planning on putting together a calendar.  I am planning on doing this every month so that I am sure to get all of my chores done even if I have a busy social day.  It will also help me schedule in bigger home projects I want to accomplish as well as getting Xmas gifts made/bought.  This is very important because I find that I spend more time on the computer or doing other things rather than concentrating on what I  need to get done.  So I am going to schedule everything!

This is going to be a busy week that may end up flying by - which is fine by me.  Today is our shopping adventure.  Tomorrow I am visiting Jill and her babies in the morning and then meeting Erin, a photographer and sister of one of my best friends, for lunch.  She is going to do maternity pictures for us in November so we are planning on brainstorming some ideas, locations, etc.  Wednesday I will be catching up on chores and then we are meeting with Lauren, Ryan and Londyn for dinner at Buffalo Wild Wings.  Thursday is my next doctor appointment and then lunch with T.  Friday we pick up Tay and the weekend is here again.  Saturday is my father-in-law's wife's 50th birthday party which I am going to help with throughout the day.  Sunday we take Tay back and then head to Lauren and Ryan's for my mother-in-law's birthday.  It is a FULL week, to say the least.  But, like I said, keep the time moving please!!

My MIL Steph just gave us a copy of the pics she took at Tay's first week of school party.  Here are some to share:
