Busy, busy, busy!

 A few things we've been up to.  Last night was pinewood derby, Braxton was too old so just Kanyon got to build a car.  The first race he didn't "win" so the next race he turned his car backwards.  He won his next three races.  That was all he wanted: to win first place, one time.  But he did it three times!  He even won 2nd place overall for the fastest Bear car.  It was a good night for all.

 Did you know if you take your report card to Krispy Kreme's they give you a free donut for every A (and E's too apparently)?  We took advantage of that on a Friday night and got WAY too many donuts.  We were all feeling a little sick by the end of the night.  Then we went to Toys R Us to get Christmas ideas.

 This is what Lisa tackled over fall break.  This room used to be green and striped.  It is now Banana Cream.  She also painted the bunk bed white so it would blend a little better.  The house is still in chaos but we're getting there.

And finally, Braxton in his new scout uniform.  Thanks grandma and grandpa.  He is attending his first Merit Badge college on Saturday and taking Kevin's Wilderness Survival class.  He is extremely excited.
Kevin is still booked up and trying to finish projects before Thanksgiving--looks like the weather will hold and he can get it done. 

It's Getting Cold

Not much new here.  It is getting colder and we had about an inch of snow this week.  It is still cold but the snow is mostly gone.  This week looks like more rain and a little more snow.  I got most of the leaves picked up but still need an hour or so to finish my winter preparations. We're looking forward to Thanksgiving.  I may take a couple of extra days of just for fun.  Mom has the whole week off.  Keep on keeping on!!!!
