We celebrated my 36th birthday this week. Mahayla had such big plans for a homemade cake with homemade chocolate icing. The cake was wonderful, but to her dismay, we didn’t have enough powdered sugar in the pantry to make icing. So, we simply sprinkled the little bit of powdered sugar over the fresh cake and it was scrumptious anyway! Caleb lit a few candles, then my wish was made.
Everyone gave me sweet cards and Mahayla even crocheted two cute little pot holders. She said they’re for the salt and pepper shakers – and they do fit perfectly! How she kept that project a secret, I’ll never know.
I want to send a special thank you out to my family, church and co-op friends who remembered my birthday. I’m not even sure how some of them knew it was my birthday?? 
) Thirty-six isn’t so bad when you are loved by so many. I love you all, too!

What a lovely end to September! Beautiful weather, great fun and good company.
After a trip to the local Pumpkin Festival on Saturday, Steve and the kids headed to the back of our farm for a little fishing in the creek. Mahayla made the catch of the day with this nice-looking bass. It made a yummy addition to our supper!
My parents came in for a visit Sunday. Can you tell that the afternoon was wonderfully relaxing?

We’ve been gearing up for school around here this week. Much of our time has been spent in the schoolroom reorganizing EVERYTHING. It’s still not entirely finished. I’ll post pictures of the new, and hopefully improved, room soon.
The week wasn’t all work and no play, though. My Granny, who lives in Alabama, came in for a visit this week. (Oh, how I wish she lived closer!) We were able to make the hour-long trip to my parent’s house twice this week to visit with my Granny. She does very well for 86! Isn’t she pretty? (The little one is my nephew.)
Friday afternoon was tea time! Our preacher’s family spent fourteen years as missionaries to England. One of their dearest friends from England has been in for a visit, and they decided to throw an English Tea Party. We had such a good time and ate way too much (really good food!!) Thank you Carla and Jody for a wonderful afternoon!
And finally, look what else happened this week. 
Now, whose chasing him while I homeschool??
