Keeping myself CRAZY busy.

DH and I are coordinating the Family Fall Festival at our church. We've arranged for a hayride, petting farm (our 4-H club is donating their services), games, crafts, chili cook-off, dinner...the list seems endless at this point. It's gong to be a blast though!

Yesterday we got all the little pumpkins and gourds we need from a local farmer. It was a beautiful day--and I didn't take a single picture. (What's up with that?!?)

I'm sure I'll have pictures after-the-fact. (May take a few days to post them though; I'll probably sleep the day or so after the event. LOL)
