Swimming pool take down update #3.

I got it emptied and pulled upside down on Sunday.  I haven't done anything with it since then. Husband is back so maybe we or he can work on it this weekend.  I am already thinking about next year and what I will do different.  Maybe take it down sooner and be brave and climb inside to scrub walls and floor before taking all the water out.  Maybe I will search on Pinterest and find a great way to clean out dirt and put away the pool.

Keeping on topic a link to m board on Pinterest  you may wonder why so little pins.  Early on in my pinning excitement I learned that it isn't fun to have a bunch of dead links on the pins.  You know the ones that don't link back to the right page on a site or the site is gone.   So I like stuff then go back and check it out by making sure link is good and maybe even doing the project or cooking the food so I can leave a comment.  Some pins are so simple that you don't need directions so then I will just pin them.  Anyway if you want you can follow me on Pinterest I can't promise that I will change your life with a pin but, if you follow me I can then follow you.

Snack before bed on Wednesday.

So I could lie on the blog and pretend that I made these cookies.  I didn't my crafty, cooking and bake in sister-in-law did.  She is the best and lives just blocks away from our house, which is great!!

Our town is getting a school, after a long 30+ year wait my little town is getting a school.  my little town belongs inside the school boundaries for Bismarck (the North Dakota capital).  A school bond election was held on Tuesday and it passed with over 84% saying yes.  The school district hopes to bring two new 488 student elementary schools online by next August and 1 high school in three years with the bond..

I worked on the Vote Yes campaign for the school bond and was amazed at the results. I went to the result watching party and celebrated the victory with champagne and some tears.  

 I worked the social media part in the end our Facebook page had 390 likes. The Twitter account only got to 3 followers including me. I called 235 phone numbers between Sunday afternoon and Monday afternoon to remind people to vote.  All the calls were so worth the big victory!!

My baby Anne getting on or maybe it was off a toy horse for the first time

 

Anne turned 1 in July, even after three other children and many daycare kids I am amazed at all the firsts in life.

I am on the hunt for shoes to wear with a dress to a wedding the first weekend in October.  I have been on the hunt for many weeks, yesterday I started to look at dresses that would go with black shoes. I have good black heals that I like and are comfortable maybe purchasing a different dress would be easier then finding shoes to go with the dress I have.  What to do, maybe I can sneak a trip to Shoe Carnival in this weekend before I give up and go back to hunting for a dress.
