Insta-Friday.

We did a lot this week, yet we didn't do a lot this week it that makes any sense?! I will say we totally enjoyed the warm weather we're still having in Minnesota. Because let's face it, we could easily see our first blizzard next week. It's happened. No joke.

We spent lots of time hanging with friends.

We added two more books to our collection of Target $1.00 classics. Our collection is growing out of control, but it's so hard to say no to books. Especially when they're only a buck a book.

We spent a lot of time outside walking Addison's baby "Baby Esther." While I'm not a doll lover, I am totally loving the fact that Addison is. Meghan never was. And yes, Addie has two different flip flops on. This child rarely wears matching shoes. Not even to church.

Went snake hunting one night. This redbelly snake freaked out when he saw all our feet. Someone should have warned him that as soon as he stopped moving it would be every snake for himself.

I started my next quarter of school. The jury is still out on whether or not it'll be a good quarter. (get it?! jury?? And I'm taking law classes!?) I love being back in school, it just gets REALLY hard, as in super hard, trying to juggle school and family life.

Went on a really long bike ride with Noah and Addison and totally relished that we live in a lake town suburb where you can have the state of the art library on one corner and a farm complete with horses on the other. And all right smack dab in the middle of neighborhoods.

And where you can have a park totally hidden from the general public so you feel like you've escaped the day to day, but can still hear the horses neighing as you play-- and still be less than a mile from home.

After listening to this message at church I felt challenged and inspired, so I mailed off four cards to four friends just because they're so awesome.

Busted my running shoes out again. I hadn't seen them in about 2 1/2 weeks. I missed them.

Survived my second week of Weight Watchers online. Still not sure how I feel about it. Especially because I have yet to see any results other than extreme hunger. And I mean extreme!

Looking forward to having a nice relaxing weekend of church, a fall bike ride, caramel apple sundaes and maybe even the pumpkin patch.......and linking up here.
