Busy, busy..

I assumed that when summer ended, so would the busyness!  Maybe it's the combination of moving and our first kid starting school, but it has been crazy.  With all the normal day to day stuff on top of working on things for the Open House...whew!  Brian has been working on his to do list and has made quite a dent - he hung up my TV in the kitchen (which will be totally awesome when I do my marathon holiday cooking this year), fixed various things that were falling off or apart, hid all the wiring for the entertainment center and computer desk, etc.  There is still so much to do, but I am finally resigned to the fact that not everything that I want to be done will get done.  I won't have curtains hung, my flower beds haven't been touched, every light fixture/ceiling fan needs a makeover or replaced, I need to decorate the screened-in porch... the list goes on.  It's a work in progress.  :)

Brian's been busy outside - he bought the boys some rain boots so they could "help" him outside in crazy amount of rain we've been having lately.  (I ended up getting me a hot pink pair of rainboots - stinkin' cute).  We went out Sunday to trim the trees and pick up fallen tree branches and the boys played in the mud puddles.  They had so much fun and were absolutely filthy by the time we came in the house. It was pretty cute.  As far as country livin' goes, we are loving it. Brian taught me how to drive the tractor and I even mowed a big section of the pasture.   And yes, I do have boots and a straw cowgirl hat.  Yee-haw!
