Elf Fun

I was going to tell everyone about selling at the flea market yesterday. Which had some very funny moments, but then someone sent me this! It is hysterical. I've already sent it to many of my friends and I hope that they elf themselves and send a link back to me. I just had to share.

I just made a total elf of myself. Check me out by clicking the link

Keeping up

Obviously, I haven't been...keeping up that is. We've got food on the table, but the house is a mess and the list of things to get done is miles long. My husband started a new job in August and also, you know, while he was at it, a graduate program in Educational Leadership. Also known as a principal's certificate. Glossing right over how a homeschool dad would become a public school principal. The program and the job have been pretty intense. Plus, we've been used to having him home. If I needed to run out to the store I didn't have to take all the kids with me, etc. Oh and did I mention that we went on two trips for a week each, our car didn't pass inspection (it was 15 years old) so we had to get a new one. One more thing, my dishwasher broke. Too much to fix, so we bought a new one of those two. Whew!

Here's a photo mosaic from the last few weeks:

• 
  Learning about trebuchets and medieval weapons at Green Lane Celtic Festival (the kids had a dance performance as well).
  
• 
  Visiting family in NC. (We went by train.) Visiting the birthplace of the Pentacostal Holiness Church in Falcon, NC. (It was built by my husband's great-grandfather, Julius Culbreth.)
  
• Picking apples from the tree across the street from our home and Julius doing the sword dance at a competition in MD.

I hope your fall has been full of fun!
