Get 'Er Done

I hate being a slave to my "to do" list.  Yet, week in and week out, you can find me checking stuff off.  Why?  Because it works.  I will run around in circles without my list.  I will procrastinate without my list.  I will forget things without my list.  However, it does feel so good to scratch things off that list, and at the end of the week, if everything is accomplished, I feel great.

It's ridiculous really.

Today, I am thankful that I was able to really get a lot of stuff accomplished...without a list.  There are just some days where you will find me focused, determined, and ready to get things done.  Today was one of those days, and I am so thankful for it!  I am thankful for the weight of getting some lingering stuff off of my plate, and I am thankful for the provision of time to do so.

One of those things that has been on my plate for a while:  Project Two Times Twelve!

There wasn't anything in particular that I was trying to learn or stretch myself in this month.  I was simply out enjoying what ended up being our last bit of warm weather this year.  Literally, the day after these pictures were taken, it was like the switch was switched from our Indian Summer to late fall.  It's been cold ever since.  Every time I have looked back on these pictures,  since I took them at the beginning of the month, I remember how warm it was that day, and how beautiful our Fall has been this year.  That is all I need.

The Cousins were there with us too.  They have really become such great friends in the last year or so.

I guess now might be a good time to mention that the kids posed themselves in all of the pictures, no help from me!

Except this one.  The Little Man needed help posing himself against the fence.  He preferred a much different look...I'm just glad my choice won out!

Today I am thankful for catching up!
