AUTUMN

My favorite time of the year is here!

Last week I watched Carson a couple of afternoons since my mom was unavailable. He is growing up and is living up to the nickname I gave him, Monkey. 

On Friday we went on a long walk! Mom was getting her hair done at Kelli's so we walked up so that Kelli could see Carson. I think we both enjoyed being out in the crisp air! To my surprise, Carson didn't fall asleep on the way back home, but as soon as we got home he crashed.

Last Saturday we had a garage sale. This isn't something that we usually do, but we had stuff to get rid of and making some extra cash didn't sound too bad. Our friend Kaela lives on main street and had some stuff to sale, so we had it at her house with two other families. We were up really late on Friday night pulling stuff out of the storage room, put price stickers on them, and loading up the car. Before the sun came up on Saturday morning, we were at Kaela's setting up. We had a constant stream of people from about 7:15 to 1:00. Then we finally cleaned up! It was a pretty good sale (at least I think so) I made $50, Chelsea made $45, and mom made about $150. Then we took a bunch of the left over stuff to the D.I. I was excited because I need another pair of jeans and with $50 extra, I could afford them. On Monday me and mom ended up at the D.I. and I found 2 pairs of jeans at $6 each! That meant that I would have enough money to get fabric for a skirt! YAY!!!

On Sunday we attended the broadcast of the dedication of the Brigham City Temple. It was really neat and I have been so blessed to be able to attend a few of those in the last couple of years! 

Monday I took the day off of work and got fabric cut for burp cloths and strip quilts, I figured out the placement of the strip quilts that I wanted, but I haven't gotten around to sewing it yet. (hopefully tomorrow)

Carson is being blessed by my dad on Sunday! They decided this week to go ahead and do it.
