Fall Frenzy

Today is 10/1/11 and I have already started a Christmas gift list for my family and a list of handmade things I’d like to do for Christmas gifts. If you know me, you know the new SAHM Lynn is still pretty busy because she can’t sit still very long (ohhhh….that’s where my son gets it…dang it!). That makes it hard for me to work on crafty things sometimes, because I don’t always have the patience. When the mood strikes though, I get on a roll!

With the start of fall, there is a lot more going on in our lives…

• Swim lessons for Andrew
• Rec center class for Andrew
• Mommy group outings (Children's Museum was awesome!)
• Heading up the MOPS crafts
• Taking a women’s ministry class
• Serving as a small group leader for the children’s ministry
• Trying to save money couponing

etc, etc…

Fall always brings even more extra fun things to do because there are pumpkin patches, corn mazes, trunk or treats, fall festivals, events at the zoo, holiday  baking and so much more! Now if it could be under 100 degrees I would be a *tad* happier. Lately, I am also online and on the phone with my sister constantly talking about my TWIN NEPHEWS arriving next year! I will have NO money if I don’t watch myself. Now that I know it’s boys, I can start shopping—it’s going to be so hard NOT to buy everything I see. I’ve already tagged favorites on Etsy like there’s no tomorrow. They are going to be spoiled for sure!

With all this, I am also really trying to be a better wife and mommy. I think I need to slow it down a little, but I probably won’t

J If I’m not talking, typing or going, going, going, I’m probably sleeping! But I like it that way and you’re only “young” once right? ;-)

Look—I give the illusion of relaxation! OK so I did really relax recently at The Sanctuary Resort spa and it was amaaaaaazing! Here I am lounging in the spa waiting room.

 
P.S. True confession time: I've already got through half a bag of candy corn and it's just today October 1. Ugh.
