Update

It has been a little while for me to get this updated. It has been pretty busy here. Jerold went deer hunting this weekend. It was first deer shot gun season. He got two deer first thing. He was pretty excited. He then learned how to butcher them on Saturday. It would figure that as soon as he was done with those 2 deer, the locker would call and say that the other deer were done from bow season. So, we had to come home and find room for 4 deer in our freezers. Needless to say, we will not need to buy meat for a while.
Alex got a Christmas present early yesterday. I went and picked up her new bunk beds. She thinks that they are pretty cool. (Her words) We also went and picked up a kitchen cupboard that my dad and uncle Mike had built for me when I was Alex's age. So, that is also in her room. She thinks that it is awesome. We got a lot of work done around here this weekend. It will be nice when I get the house decorated and see the finished product.
Call me crazy, but a friend of mine and I are going shopping Thursday night. There is an outlet mall in Huntley that is opening at midnight after Thanksgiving. So, we are going to go and see what good deals we can get. I am actually hoping to get most of my holiday shopping done that night. I am looking forward to it. I have never gone on the day after turkey day. I figured now is a good of time as any. Wish me luck...
Hopefully this week will fly by. I am ready for a couple of days off. It should be a good week though. Hope everyone has a great Turkey Day! Until next time...

Here are the pictures

Alright, here are the pictures that I have promised. The top one is Jerold looking at both of the deer that he got last Saturday with the bow. The turned out to be a 13-pointer. He was a big deer. The littler one in the back is a doe that he also had gotten. Next time you see Jerold ask him about his hunt.
The next picture is of the Ross Goose that he had gotten a couple of weekends ago. It is a pretty bird. It looks like a Snow goose, but a bit smaller. He was pretty excited about that also. I guess you could say that Jerold has had some good luck hunting so far this year. Hopefully it stays this way.
The third picture is a picture of Jerold posing with the biggest deer he has ever gotten. He is pretty proud. Enjoy the pictures.

What a weekend!

Another weekend has gone by without it really even being here. It was a good weekend though. Jerold went deer hunting on Saturday afternoon with his bow. He got 2 deer. One was a small doe and the other was a 13 point buck. Let me tell you, he was a big deer. He really made any other deer look small. Jerold has decided that he is going to go ahead and get the buck mounted also. How often do you get to shoot a buck that sized. Needless to say, he is excited. I will have to put pictures on here a bit later.
Alex got to hang out with grandpa Robby and Autumn all day on Saturday. Grandpa Robby said that they had a great day. Alex had a blast. All she talked about was daddy's deer and Autumn. She really enjoys spending time with her cousin. She is going to go with me on a road trip this next weekend. Alex and I are going to see a friend of mine in Wonderlake. We are going shopping and just spending time up there for a day or two. I am looking forward to it. I think that it will be a great time.
It is a light week to start this week with the daycare. It is kind of nice. Wednesday it will be back to normal. Hopefully the week will go by fast and everyone will be healthy for the weekend. There is a lot of sickness starting to go around already. So far none of it has been in the daycare. I am a firm believer in Lysol and Purel right now. Hopefully I will be able to keep most of the nasty bugs out.
Well, I do not have much else to report for now. I will try to get the pictures on this week. Hope everyone has a good week.

Another week has gone by

Well, we took Alex trick-or-treating on Friday. She had a blast. She now thinks that every time she gets dressed up she is going to go trick-or-treating. I am glad that she enjoyed it. She really enjoyed being a princess.
Jerold went hunting this weekend also. No surprise there. The surprise is that he got a Ross goose. It is a very pretty bird. It is actually going to be mounted. It looks like a snow, but smaller. He is very proud.
The daycare is going well. I still have a full load. Hopefully things will continue to go this way. Alex really enjoys having the other kids here. She is going to have her boyfriend here a couple of days coming up. I am not going to tell her though. This will help with my sanity. She really enjoys playing with Michael.
What about this fall weather...I believe that fall is finally here. I am not looking forward to all of this rain, but the leaves changing colors are beautiful. There really is not a whole lot else going on right now. Hopefully everyone has a great week.
