You know what would be nice?

For tomorrow to not be Monday. Once again, so not ready for it.

Today was nice- went really fast yet not sure what we did.....

Church, lunch, speech writing (future historian living right here in our house- hopefully) book sorting (which seems to have become a monthly event, but I think we have it down now....... won't lie, its the Kindle that is making the outlook of less book-clutter possible) concluded with supper and games night.

..... for everyone but Maddy that is. She chose reading over gaming- go figure.

Thanks Ellie for this random photo of me- the best part of it is that it proves to Julie that I am wearing the shorts she sent..... thanks Julie! Luv ya!

We have a halloween countdown going on here (thanks for this photo too Ellie :)..... Ellie's costume is chosen and waiting in her closet for the big day. Maddy has yet to decide..... I am really looking forward to the last minute panic and tears that are sure to accompany October 31st.... can't wait.

Speaking of Maddy, thought I would post her candidacy speech:

I am Madison Gillam- you may have seen my posters and handouts that read Maddy G for historian, cause my full name, Madison Gillam wouldn’t fit. Thanks a lot mom for giving me an eight-letter, three-syllable name. I will not stand up here and list a bunch of practical boring things that you may or may not even care about. I’m also not going to go on and on about what a historian is…… if you really want to know and don’t already, then I suggest you Google it because I only have three minutes and don’t want to waste your time. Now what I am going to tell you is why you should vote me for your next historian. There are SOOOOOO many awesome reasons- most of which have to do with my great personality J But the more serious ones would be that I am super extremely creative…. Cause really, who else would think of handing out silly bands as a campaign strategy?……… (Which by the way isn’t bribery….. just ask Ms Baa.). I also happen to be really really really really smart, total straight A student- and not braggy at all!My goal as historian is to make this year unforgettable for the Seahawks at McCool School! I will be reliable and enthusiastic in my work as historian. Everything I do will be outstanding. I will show future generations how great we made the 2010-2011 school year! The main thing you need to know about me is that I have a passion for the written word. That’s right, I read encyclopedias for fun and Shakespeare is my favorite author. So when I tell you that I’m serious about being your historian you better believe that I will be creative, accurate and definitely never boring.So peace out, have fun living and don’t forget to vote Madison Gillam for historian! By the way- the best quote I ever read said this: “all the animals except for mankind know the main principle in life is to have fun!”. VOTE MADDY G!
