A Slow Weekend

Well this weekend has been slow for scrapbooking. My ideas for cool layouts has kinda deceided to take a vacation which hasn't helped but usually I can do one or two on Sat. and a couple more on Sunday. This weekend I only got one each day done. Well and I rearranged yesterdays just a little so will post the new one here too. Yesterday, the auction took a while, but today.....ummm hmmmm LOL. I guess I gabbed to much with friends, and family! I talked to a friend on the computer and my Niece some. And then spend a couple hours talking to my Mom on the phone. Thankfully we have unlimited long distance on our cell phone to several numbers, and her's is one I choose (naturally!!). So I only got one layout done today. The first one here, is my brother when he was around 2 yrs old. And the 2nd one is of course the revised layout from yesterday. Do you like it better, or the one from yesterday with the circles on it? LOL Feel free to post a comment and let me know!!!

Our goats got out tonight, so we had to go round them up and get them in. DH got some grain, and I took it and caught one of our main nannys and started walking toward the barn, thinking I would get her in, and go back for another one. Then I decieded I could pass her off to DH and go catch another one, and started to turn, to do that, and saw that the oldest nanny was following right behind me cause I had the grain, and naturally the other kids were comming too, and then I saw that DH had the other nanny so I figured that just left the billy, but if we could get all three older nannys in along with the kids, that we could go back for Billy. Well wonder of wonders he followed everyone too, so we walked them all right back through the barn. Black Head....the goat I had ahold of, kept trying to get away, and there were a few times, I thought my grip was going to go, but I managed to keep ahold of her long enough to get her in the barn, and I walked through it and put a little bit of the grain out so they could get a taste and DH went around the barn and locked the door behind them. I even got to feed Billy out of my hand for the first time!! He has really tamed down from when we got him because I couldn't get very close to him at all, even with grain in my hand!!

I guess Holstine (I think thats spelled right but not sure! LOL) has figured out how to open the gates with the way DH has been fastening them, so now he has to do something different, so she can't! LOL I am just glad thats how they got out, (through a gate) and not through the fence!!

So that was our little bit of excitment for the day!! LOL Well along with talking to Mom about my cousin's wedding that she went to yesterday. She showed me a picture of the wedding couple too! I haven't ever met Tiona's (my cousin) hubby, and really wanted to go to the wedding, but we just wern't able to make it. The price of gas has gone down, but not enough to fit another long trip into our monthly budget. So thats one of the reasons I talked to my Mom for so long, because she was telling me all about the wedding, and who was there, and all the family news we hadn't heard. It really made me wish I had been there, but I am just glad she got some pictures!!

I can't believe this is the last week in Sept!!! Talking to Jamie tonight, reminded me that DH and I's 15th Anniv. is comming up fast, so I should get some pictures of us. So hopfully I will remember to try to do that! Have you taken any family pictures lately? If not, maybe you should schedule some family time, and get out your camera (if it has a timer on it) and get some. Otherwise, if it doesn't have a timer, try to talk a friend into helping!! You may not like your picture taken, but later generations will be glad you did it!!

I didn't start out planning on writting a short book, but I guess after "chatting" so much today, on the computer, and the phone, I shouldn't be surprised!! LOL Sorry!!
