Good Morning,

 

Woken by my 4yr old. Mommy can I play with your phone? Not today.

Good morning! I actually did all my chores yesterday, so today is just a few odds and ends. I got a request from one of dd1's teammates to make a pillow, so I will start gathering scraps from my stash for that. It is going to be in the 90s today...I am ready for some fall temps.

 

To do:

Change a bunch of light bulbs

Poke around in my fabric stash

Some laundry

Pay a couple of bills

Jen things

Watch a movie with ds2 tonight

 

Have a great day!

Lessons are all printed out.

 

I made a list of verse songs needed but I can't check the actual song portfolio because it is under the heavy wheelchair and I decided to wait until we got rid of the wheelchair before looking.

 

I found all the recordings I need of the songs. 

 

Bunnies are loaded into bunny carriers.

Ds18 and I spent the whole day getting our paddocks and barns ready for fall. Everything is shipshape and looks so nice now.

 

•got all the old hay, manure, and assorted flotsam and jetsam out of paddocks

•raked up a few million acorns (my horses like to eat them, but they're bad for them - and apparently the squirrels and turkeys are too lazy and well-fed to clean them up for us  :glare: )

•thoroughly deep cleaned stalls & put down new bedding

•scrubbed all buckets

•tidied up tack room and hay sheds

 

The barns are now much cleaner than my house. I just might sleep in a stall tonight.  :laugh:

 

Dinner is going to be Subway or Culver's.
