September 2008

Yes, I am still writing this from the month of October.

The first weekend in Sept is Hay Days for the town of Cozad. They have a parade and a carnival. This year was fun because Katherine was old enough to be excited about it. She loved running for the candy during the parade. But she is to generous for her own good, she kept giving it away to the kids around her! She finally figured it out and kept some of it. Devon had fun too. He loved the huge tractors that went by. Devon got to have his first ride on carnival rides. He and Katherine loved it.


I have been having to take a lot of continuing classes this month I am suppose to have 20 hours before next month. I have had 2 years to get the hours, so I don't know why I wait until the last minute. The last two I have gone to have been free, which is a blessing, they usually cost $60-$100 for an 8 hour class. I guess that is why I have put it off. I hate to spend money for something I don't enjoy! I have been doing a few more building projects. I have made Katherine a book shelf for her room to organize all her toys. It took me a good 2 hours to get everything put into the labeled baskets. It looked so good! Then she came in and began to dump everything into the floor again. Yeah, I almost lost it! :) Kids are so fun sometimes.


David has been taking call a lot lately. We discovered we need to replace our outside heat pump unit. It got all banged up during our hail storm this spring. We hadn't even noticed, all the fins were beaten down. Insurance accepted our claim, so we decided to go ahead and replace it. We are going to have to pay for a portion of the bill, so thus the overtime. He is such a wonderful Dad, He loves to wrestle with the kids and they eat it up! Katherine is always begging him to play with her, "I want a piece of me, Daddy!" is what she says. She got that from David, Every time they begin to wrestle he says "Do you want a piece of me?!!!" So she thinks that is what it is called. I laugh every time I hear her say it.

God bless you!
