So, many of you may be asking, what happened to Kretha? She has had the same blog for a thousand years. Well, I have been so busy and stressed lately, that blogging was at the back of my mind. Thanks to my sister, it is now at the forefront. I can't let her down, after all.
I have been busy with work, of course, helping Adam with his homework and taking on extra to help him get his schooling done, trying to help with our other house that we bought and are flipping. And, let's face it, when you have three kids to tend to, you can't be much help. Poor Adam.
I have had work meetings galore, laundry coming out my ears, trying to keep up on my workouts and keep all our appointments straight. And not to mention, helping in Emma's classroom which I have had to bail a couple times because of illness and being overwhelmed. Will I ever be able to cope with my busy life?
On to a better topic, we were able to attend our ward's harvest party where the girls got to play lots of games and get lots of candy, we were able to chow down on some yummy chili, and my mom and I even participated in a karaoke competition-which we almost won- and did a rousing rendition of footloose. It was a fun time.
Emma is a ballerina, and Natalie a cowgirl (without her faithful steed).
I am Beth Chapman from Dog the Bounty Hunter, and Garrett is a grumpy turtle.
We also found a little bit of time to go to the pumpkin patch. It was a gorgeous, sunny day and we went to the best place. For those of you that live in Springfield, the hayride at Johnson's Farm is a must. Unless you like to poke along at a snails pace to the pumpkin patch. We got to go without others, and the tractor driver was on crank juice. He was speeding along, doing cookies, and taking us through big ruts. We went up side hills, and had a blast. We were all flying around in the back. I couldn't stop laughing, even though the girls were less enthused about the ride. We got some great pumpkins and on the ride back, we were able to gather small pumpkins and gourds to throw at the scarecrows, and try to knock the stack of pumpkins on their heads. It was a really fun time and I'm glad we made it a point to go.
And that's a wrap...

Phew! I thought I'd lost ya there for a while but glad you're back. I feel for you though Kretha. Reading all you're busy with down on paper is overwhelming alone, I can't imagine how you're handling it all. Wish I lived there so I could help a bit more. But your update is great with cute pictures and I wish I could have gone on that crazy hay ride. Sounds awesome!!!
How fun. It's always important to find time to do the little fun things. I am totally there with you on being so busy and stressed. Love ya and hope to see you soon.
yay you're back! Seriously kretha, what you need to learn about blogging is that you can't keep us waiting like that! I'm addicted, I need everyone to update at least twice a week! Nothing is more important than blogging! Okay maybe that's a little extreme...you do sound awfully busy.
Your costumes are AWESOME! And I love the pumpkin patch pictures! Garrett is the cutest turtle I've ever seen...grumpy or not!
