October photo dump


Ahhhhh - Where has October gone?! I cannot believe it is time for October's photo dump and I have fallen off the blogging horse for several weeks (SORRY). Life has been nuts. However with this month's photo dump you will be caught back up pretty quickly:
Grandpa's 85th Birthday party
LOVE HIM
Some of the Thomson Women with Grandpa

Warrior Day of Service prep
300 Junior High & Senior High youth
doing service projects around our area on
an early out day

why wouldn't we let the baby play on the pool
table while we prepped Warrior Day of Service?!
Crocheted some cute hats for
my favorite twins
Warrior day of Service
Beautiful Choas

Trip to Minneapolis with my family

Oh. The. Stories.

Gross rainy day 10K in Fargo

NO MEDAL :( we got a hockey puck

Many a good walk and run at the Arb

WE SOLD OUR HOUSE!
I was looking threw the abstract of title of the house
and this is the first entry. It was originally built in 1870
We live (until mid November) in a piece of history
One of the church ladies is afraid I will have cold toes this winter
so she made me a pair of slippers
My husband this morning
He is dressed as the dude from Texas Chainsaw Massacre
I did his makeup and was pretty proud of it



How was your October? 
Did I miss anything in your world?
Tell me something ridiculously random.

20 Chore Tuesday


Talk about a pre-vacation to-do list. I leave on Thursday for vacation and couldn't be more excited, I feel like it has been quite some time since I have been on vacation where the goal is to relax and doesn't have a purpose [going to a wedding, running a half marathon, moving a friend/family, visiting 10,000 family members].

My pre-vacation 20 chore Tuesday includes:
  • ensure family faith journey is prepped for someone to fill in my place
  • run off weekly handouts for family faith journey
  • Camp V meeting at noon
  • teach swimming lessons
  • call one of my favorite people to wish her a happy birthday
  • make my bed [seriously I love crawling into a made bed but hate making my bed every mornign and I massively got out of the habit of making my bed and am now slowly getting back into the habit of making it every day - yes, this seriously makes me sound like I am five and my mother is yelling at me to make my bed - which surprisingly my mother never ever ever cared if our beds were made]
  • laundry
  • run
  • update my project life 366 2012 photobook
  • empty sink of dishes that has built up [seriously how does this always happen, why can I not get in the habit of throwing the dishes in the dishwasher as soon as I use them]
  • walk the dog
  • buy Halloween candy to hand out tomorrow [I am way behind on this one, obviously]
  • pull out suitcase to pack in
  • start packing
  • call cake woman for wedding and tell her we want to go with her [soooo many details for a wedding who knew]
  • ball yarn/make sure I have the yarn I want to take on vacation
  • update kindle - download a new book for vacation
  • return books to library (books are due while I am on vacation and I refuse to get a late fee - small pat on the back - which seriously no one really cares about this - but for as long as I can remember I have never had a library late charge, which is a small miracle given how many books I check out of the library.)
  • square away other details at work for while I'll be on vacation
  • empty memory cards on my cameras for vacation (seriously who doesn't have a couple cameras that they plan on taking on vacation - oh yeah, most people - I have a dslr camera I plan on taking as well as a point & shoot)
