Let's see....Josh and I are taking a financial class...Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University...we're 3 weeks into it...and it's been enjoyable so far. We've learned some new things...and this is our first month of truly doing a budget...we're doing the "envelope system" as well. We have envelopes for: groceries, clothes, car/tires/maintenance, house repairs, entertainment, eating out, etc. It will interesting to see how it goes...we're hopeful it goes well and we can pay down some student loans! :) While we go to that class...Ella goes to Awana's...a program for kids at church...she loves it! She gets to wear her "Cubbies" t-shirt and every week she learns a new Bible verse.
Since I'm a month overdue in writing a post...
I cut my hair...a lot.
Before...
After:
I really thought it would help cut down time in getting ready in the morning...but somehow it hasn't...it actually takes me longer to dry now...I don't know why! My hair is like a sponge and holds water! Speaking of taking a long time to dry...I wish I had gotten a picture of it...but Josh was blow-drying Ella's hair this morning...we were getting ready for church and I gave Ella a bath...it was really cold this morning...I was trying to finish getting ready and I started blow drying her hair...and I asked if he would finish it for me...I told him...this is probably something you wouldn't have expected doing huh?? :) It was cute.
We had some great summer days in September...and hit up the pool one last time...Ella's request...
She does love playing in pool! Unfortunately the same time Grandpa got there to join us it started thundering so they made us get out...but that meant we got to go to Sweet Frog! :)
This weekend was our first true taste of Fall...I wanted to enjoy it! Of course it was super windy...a little too much...but we made do. We went to a little orchard by our house...Morris Orchard. We fed the goats and the donkey. We sampled apple cider. We bought one apple cider donut to share...well I took one bite and Josh and Ella devoured the rest of it....Ella realllly liked that! We picked a pumpkin. We posed with some hay bale creatures.
I think we're going to wait to carve it next week.
Then we came home and took a nap. We got up and it was time for round 2! We met up with our friends and went to a corn maze, saw more animals (donkey's, alpaca's, chickens, goats), and went through a hay maze. It was realllly windy so we didn't stay too long. We then went to dinner...and got a great picture of the three girls...
Sadie, Peyton, and Ella
It was a busy weekend!
Tomorrow Josh leaves for DC for another week of training....but this time...Ella and I are going up Thursday night to go meet him! We'll come home Saturday evening...we're hoping for some nice weather!
Hmmm....oh yes...we finally finally transitioned Ella into big-girl panties...yay! Not a single accident...that was 3 weeks ago...she just needed that final push. So far so good!
Tomorrow is another day of work...the weekends go by too fast!
