Christmas Wreath ~ Third Place
This wreath was truly beautiful but there was no way to show that in the photo.
It was like a giant Christmas bow exploded into an amazing wreath!!

Gooood Morning!
Well, hello!! I am up and can't completely explain why other than our new schedule and chores calling me . .
So, I wandered down the hall to start coffee (essential to existence) and found the washer had been turned off mid-cycle. I'm not exactly sure how this happens but am guessing it was annoying/inconvenient to Matt in some way and he simply ended it!
This photo is of a load of sheets washing . . . I love the clear lid as I can easily see what is running and if there is enough water to properly clean the laundry. The fact that this cute washer only cost me $290 and has incredibly cut my water bill is an added bonus!
How is your morning going?
In a few I will post more photos from our visit to the Will County Fair last night. We will be returning today for multiple reasons. First, the rodeo starts at 2:00pm and we shall watch it from the fence along with all the other budget-conscious families. Second, this evening we have to collect all our entries, ribbons and checks (stipend awarded for winning). Third, Matt will be helping take down rides from 7pm-finished (approx 11pm). Last year taking down rides paid $40 cash, but we did not plan ahead and he couldn't participate. This year he made the decision to earn that money Tuesday night when we dropped off our entries!!
Stay tuned!!!!!
