september in review || hello october

WHAT?? October is here ALREADY? *screams* Fall is here!! I CANNOT BELIEVE IT!!! 2017 is almost over. But even though September just flew by, it was a GREAT month!!!!

 

 

Highlights

I went to my grandmothers house for dinner and we ate a delicious meal of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, rolls, butter beans, jello salad, and for dessert chocolate pound cake and vanilla cheesecake topped with cherries!!! It was AMAZING!!!

Daddy surprised us and took us out to eat for dinner one night!

 

 

I started school.

I FINALLY got myself a camera bag.

We had a baptism/church picnic at the river

FALL IS HERE!!

I reviewed "Where Dandelions Grow" for Lydia Howe. It was actually my very first blog tour!!!

We had a teenager/young adult night at our house with people from our church!!

We celebrated Mama's birthday. Happy Birthday, Mama!! <3333

Funnies

 

*kristen and me laying in the bed getting ready to go to sleep*
me: *starts singing a random song*

kristen: "Don't sing that. It makes me want--want to eat potato chips."

 

 

kristen: *says something funny*

me: "When I turn 18, I'm going to adopt you."

kristen: *won't stop laughing*

*walking out of the tasty freeze and smelling manure*

kristen: "It smells like P.A. here."

me: "You mean it smells like P.U!"

(I actually love the smell of manure! Maybe I'm weird?)

*a little boy at church runs up and shows me his toy*

little boy: "Do you see this?"

me: "Wow. That's neat!"

little boy: "Don't touch it. It's priceless." *whispers* "I got it out of a toy machine."

 

 

kristen: *singing* "I fixed my bookmark because I'm sooooo amazing."
