We got the painting all done on Wednesday, the Elementary School Directory done on Thursday, and I've been to market this morning to pick up these goodies!:

 
You thought those were for me, didn't you? They are for Ellie!! There's a stand that sells dog cookies to raise money for a local school that teaches kids with learning disabilities. The kids make the cookies to sell at market each week and all the money goes to the school. And Ellie gets the best doggie treats! (It's not chocolate... just safe carob if you're wondering!)

I did pick up some pretty fall produce... spaghetti squash and bright purple cauliflower!

 
When I was taking photos, I remembered that Olivia wanted to see what a fairy sword looks like... some girls showed this to me on a class field trip through the woods last year! We found dozens of them...

I also picked up tickets to a fun event tomorrow morning... Sarah Palin is coming to town and I'm taking Caroline down with me to see her speak! (The guys will be at their soccer game.):

 
So we'll have to get busy tonight making t-shirts and posters!!! Maybe someday Caroline will want to run for office! Though we are thinking Nathaniel would be the one to do something like that!

And appropriately, this morning I got this link in my email box from Lion Brand Yarns...

You could put on your own little debate: "I want to give you a tax break" "No, you just want to 'Spread the Wealth' around!!" "No I don't!" "Yes you do!" blah, blah, blah!
