Hello to all. Once again it's time to sit and get this out. Back to September 1. Kelly worked at Issac's house helping get the outside done. I was sick with a nasty cold. The 2nd I was still sick and stayed home from church with Margo. The 3rd Kelly had the day off so he helped at Isaac's again. In the evening we went to folks for supper. The 4th I cleaned the house. The 6th was Margo's birthday! I can't believe my baby is 1! She isn't walking yet and doesn't seem to want to. She weighs 19lbs and 28" long. The Dr said she is tiny little thing. The 7th I made cupcakes for Margo's birthday party in the evening. She had a unicorn party! The cupcakes where pink, purple, and teal. They turned out very cute. We had Tony's Isaac's, Lorne's, Marshal, Folks, Galen's, and Jared's. Full house but lots of fun. We gave Margo her own cupcake and she smashed it to bits and ate it. She was very pleased no one stopped her from making a mess. The 8th and 9th Kelly had a fire course in Grande Prairie so he was gone. Sunday he didn't need to go in till 1 so we did go to Sunday school and came home and had a quick dinner. In the evening I listened to Mark give his report. It was very interesting. Sure wish I could come see you all Wendy but hopefully next summer.  The 10th I decided to start a project I have been wanting to do for a long time. Paint the fire place brick. I made my own custom color. I did a light grey. Let me say this brick is hard to paint but it looks awesome when it done! You only need one coat of paint. The 11th Heidi, Nigel, and I had a dentist appointment in the afternoon. I picked up Kelly at work and he came and held Margo for me. I stopped at Home Depot on the way home and picked up a gallon of paint for the wood wall around the fireplace brick. I came home and got the first coat on the wood. I painted it white. I was so tired of the living room so dark in the winter time. It makes a huge difference now. I love it. The 12th I finished painting  the wood in the morning. and then cleaned the house and made supper for company. Our friends brother and sister in law where visiting from Texas. I made creamy chicken and rice, Carrots, and applesauce. Folks and Lorne's came in the evening and Mom brought the dessert. The 13th Kelly had his dentist appointment. The 14th went to town and got groceries. We all ways pick up Kelly after work and get our stuff down then we come home. Kelly helped Isaac's move after we got home. The 15th Kelly helped Isaac's move again the then they all come for supper. The 17th Margo had a dr appointment for her one year check up. The 19th we went to Issac's in the evening. Margo took her first steps just before we left. The 21st I cleaned the house and in the evening we went to Crooked Creek for a Fall craft sale. It was fun but way to many people for the small space it was in. The 22nd we went to folks for supper. Lorne's had there 4th baby. A girl Margaret Faye. The 24th I did bookwork and in the evening we went to Isaac's for apples and caramel because Darrell and Vicky came out quick to take parts of some sort to the Fort. The 25th Kelly helping out in the field after work. Margo and I went to Tony's for cupcakes for the twin's birthday. They turned 3 about a week ago. Also for Vicky's girl Rebecca who also also turned 3 right before the twins. The 27th I started sewing for Heidi. The 28th I cleaned the house and in the afternoon  we went to town for groceries. And I made the lunch list for sewing. Fun food committee duties. The 29th I was looking for some fabric to make Heidi some dresses and I found some flannel that i had bought if Nigel was a girl and forgot about them with Margo so I sewed around them and took them to Elaine. While I was there Lorne wondering if I wanted to go Chinese food from Beaverlodge and we could have supper with them. So we did. It was a fun evening. Well I forgot that sometime the week of the 17th we as food committee got together with the youth leaders and planned the Thanksgiving supper. The youth serve the supper but we as food committee have to planned the food. Well that's all for this month. Till next time......
