'Tis the Season
We have a few holiday decorations for Christmas but not enough for my satisfaction. So I have decided that I am going to hit up my discount fabric store and create this amazing advent calendar out of felt! (Picture looks amazing- my craft might be satisfactory but who cares).
I am hoping that this craft-fest will get me into the holiday spirit. Cause I am not feeling too great about the upcoming month of December. (I have the case of the bah-hum-bugs)

Halloween Boise Style
I uploaded the pictures backwards and I am too lazy to replace them all correctly- sorry! :)
My Mom, Marian (sister) and I ran the Farm Man Challenge 5k! It went to a GREAT cause and had a fun/freezing time doing it. The race was an obstacle course through a corn-maze. Definitely fun although it made for an even greater challenge when the weather was only a cold/windy/cloudy 38 degrees.
The finish line was an air-jumper type thing set into the ground... was a little slippery trying to run across in your socks!
Marian and I at the starting line...
Some pre-5k activity: feeding and petting the wandering goats.BAH! So cold! Poor little Jaxson... Just in case you can't see my awesome hat- there is a candy store in Boise called Powell's Sweet Shoppe. Needless to say I bought the hat :)Two of my nephews. Staton and Breckon. Little Breckie was my shadow all weekend. I heart him!! :)
Ha, ok my bestest friend in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD drove 5 hours to see me Saturday night! My dad took some better photos of us than this... but I wanted to give her the credit for making the trip. Plus, I just love her face. And apparently whatever we were talking about was very intense!! The twins playing with some of grandpa's robot.
