it's finally friday! we're ready for what will surely be the perfect fall weekend. we're going to the big football game tonight (dear aggies, if you only win one game all year, let it be this one!), i've got a new book for note taking while watching conference, my fabric is almost all cut to start working on a christmas present for my mother-in-law, and i've got a list of new recipes to try out, including pumpkin bread and cinammon honey butter, french toast casserole, and this variation of cowboy caviar for snacking.
also making me smile this week: the excitement of my piano student, emma, who told her dad as she left her lesson, "i have to play 3 songs in 3 different positions! it's going to be so hard, dad, but i can do it." i wish they always stayed that excited about learning to play the piano. and coco, who recently discovered grasshoppers. she doesn't want to eat them, but they make great "toys" because she pounces and they hop away, which means she is totally entertained by trying to catch the uncatchable bugs.
happy first of october.

You find the best artwork! I love it. I wish I were more like your student, excited even while saying "It's going to be hard, dad, but I can do it!"
Cheer extra loud at the game for us! We thought about coming up, but they raised ticket prices and $60 is way too much to pay even for our beloved Aggies.
I'm excited for your weekend!!! How fun! I love that you even included that you got a new note taking book for general conference! Isn't it a simple joy to have a new notebook? :)

Dear Carly,
I felt totally gypped last week when all the boys got to go golfing together. I think it is time that us ladies had a little craft night again. Or something similar. Any thoughts?
Cheers,
Amanda
p.s. I absolutely L.O.V.E. moda bake shop and am now thinking that I am going to have to make a rug like that in patriotic colors for Teri for Christmas.
