All last week in just 5 minutes

Sorry its been a while sinceI blogged anything. We were very busy last week with the fair and getting ready for school which started yesterday. So I'll catch everyone up.



We've been doing a lot of cleaning to get ready for school. Ben paid us $20 to clean his room for him. Look at all the laundry we hauled out of there! But he is doing a pretty good job of keeping it clean since then.



We entered all our stuff in the fair: our quilt got a red ribbon (2nd place), everything else got blue (1st place), and the wedding dress I made last year got a blue and a great big pretty yellow one for honorable mention and it gets to go on to the State fair! I'm very excited about that.



We get a lot of calls from Sarah at college, things are going well but she's homesick. It doesn't help that she has a hard time getting cell phone reception and that her laptop freaked out and wouldn't connect to the internet. But she got it fixed now and she's going to be home for labor day weekend. So we are very excited to see her soon.



So the company that John interviewed with decided they aren't going to hire anyone after all. So that's a little disapointing, but he has more applications out and we expect to here back with a few interviews soon. In the mean time he's keeping himself busy cleaning out the garage and beating Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn on the Wii.



Little John is having a great time. Him and the dog are good friends now. He likes to share his cookies with her. He'll slobber all over it and chew on it some and then hold it for her to chew on. But if he has a snack he doesn't want to share he has no problem with pushing her out of the way. We walked around the fair and he got to pet a cow. And because we went Friday morning it was pretty uncrowded so we let him out of the stroller and he and John both pushed it around. He is so close to walking on his own! He'll walk holding just one hand now, he walks along the furniture, he walks up and down stairs with help, he practically runs with his push toy. We made pudding art this week to mail to Sarah at school and to other people. He sleeps through the night almost everynight now, which we are super excited about. He is just loving life, its great.



Oh and the best news the plumbers come tomarrow and then we'll be able to use the downstairs bathroom- HOORAY!!!

Oh and I added the pictures we took of droping Sarah off at school, to the blog about it.
