Raccoon eyes...

Jarod is #24... (I got a pic to load). Too lazy to retype my post... so it might get confusing. Enjoy the pics and my babbling!!

Jarod and me... Labor day weekend... oregon coast. Get this... it was HOT, NOT WINDY, and the kids went in the water too. This is SO not the normal weather for LD weekend at the coast. Especially if we are camping with my parents. It ALWAYS rains. Oh, yeah... it did rain the next day. LOL

First day of school, Monday... Meghan (8-3rd grade), Jordan (14-Freshman), Jarod (11-6th grade)

Meghan cheering today.

This is the hay bale display I made for Fall Tour (VP visit) at Michaels. There are little "Lemax" children, riding on the hay ride.

And the pumpkin display, attached to it. I used pumpkins for wheels, to get the full "fall" effect.

And again... Meghan cheering. (My pics uploaded oddly, and Jarod's photos won't load) UGH!!

So...

yet again... raccoon eyes are upon my face. I was wearing sunglasses during the kids cheerleading, baseball, and football today. I didn't think about the sun, its rays, and their effects on my skin. LOL

I know, I know, I will be at great risk for skin cancer... Yep... I've heard the lectures. They just don't stick in my head, especially when I am running around at 7am, getting kids ready to leave the house for the day.

I did enjoy my day off (thanks to a 14 hour work day on Thursday / Friday am)... meaning I had no hours left to work today, without being in over-time. This meant I got to watch Meghan cheer, Jordan practice baseball, and Jarod play his first football game (others have been skrimishes sp?)

I came home and helped Jordan with his first highschool project. He teased me over and over, asking if I was going to photograph and scrapbook it. LOL Funny kid!!

I am yet again ready to SPIT at Chase bank... they SUCK!! And the financial burden of three kids in sports again is upon us. Fun-times!! Yet, somehow I just keep hoping that I can trust it will all be ok. :)

Jordan and I were googling for a saying for his project... when we found this longer version of one I have always liked.

"Live each day as if it is your last... learn each day as if you will live forever!"
