that took a long time. But, finally, today, I decided to ignore all chores and children to get it finished so that I could use it this season. Someone else could probably whip this out in a day but it seems to take me a month. Though not perfect, I am happy with the finished product.
We have had a busy month. I have 22 piano students, 2 boys playing soccer, 2 kids taking piano lessons (from someone else), a preschooler etc., etc.--you all know the craziness.
Zack started his first job and is a working man now. He works everyday after school for about 2 hours. Then, he usually has soccer, YM's, or FHE. It seems we are usually trying to get the homework done at 10 o'clock at night. He has been a good worker though, and not complained, so we are proud of him. He is feeding calves at a dairy here in town.
Colin is also busy with soccer, homework, and he has also had to take on some of Zack's chores here at home. Each day after school he tells me all about it--no, not school, but his athletic feats during recess.
McKena is the social one of the family, asking every single day to have a friend over. She decided not to take dance this year but instead started piano lessons and a singing/performing group in Smithfield.
Kade goes to preschool 3 times a week. He loves it and seems to be learning a lot. McKena makes sure to drill him here at home. I got home from the gym the other morning and she had him sitting at a desk writing out all of his letters. I didn't even know he could write them. It's a good thing that her game of choice these days is "playing school".
All in all things are going along pretty smoothly. The weather is lovely. I can't believe it is fall already. I do love the upcoming holiday season. Enjoy!

And yet, even with all that craziness, you manage to do something crafty and worthwhile. I have nothing to show except a bunch of blog entries, endless hours on facebook and a bathroom with no ceiling.
The table runner is really cute. Take care of all those busy kids!
It turned out great! I especially love the orange fabric on the ends. I'm proud of all of your kids for you!
What a cute table runner! I can't believe I didn't even know you were working on it. Enjoy this fun busy time. . . . . it won't last! :)
I love the table runner- very cute! Can't believe October is almost over Christmas will be here before we know it.
