Fun at work...

My co-worker has been asking me to order these Program Check-In signs for weeks. I finally had a chance work on that yesterday, and the company was SUPER easy to work with. I ordered them on Monday they were in our hands by 3:15 pm Tuesday.  I wish all of my orders went that easy.

She's out of the office today, today. So she'll have a little help finding her desk tomorrow morning!

Gypsies in the news!

My friend Angie submitted an article to a local paper about our recent camping trip.

Bella: The Insect Whisperer

Switcheroo

While I was gone on our annual Girls' Weekend Camping trip Chris kept himself very busy. He took all of our furniture and moved it around. Our bedroom was upstairs but now it's down stairs (again).

The guest bedroom furniture moved to the old computer room:

The computer room moved upstairs (except for the green chair):

The TV and couch also moved upstairs:

That leaves our main level open and sunny:

We are really enjoying this new set up. It makes our whole house feel much bigger!

Too much cheesecake

Seriously, is there such a thing?
A couple of weeks ago we had a TON of left over graham crackers at work. (We host monthly family events that end with s’mores.) After a summer of stale graham crackers piling up in the bottom of our bin, we decided to be thrifty and make cheese cake! So, three of us made cheese cake. Here’s a sampler shot:

Autumn made cheese cake with a homemade blueberry topping:

Katie made cheesecake with a homemade strawberry topping:

And I made cheesecake with a cherry pie filling topping (it was no-sugar added though!):

None of us had made cheesecake before, so we all had our own equally hilarious disaster stories, as well as completely different recipes!  
 We did not eat all of the cheesecake ourselves, we shared with our coworkers and they judged our desserts!  Autumn’s cheesecake was judged Best Topping, Katie’s was judged Best Crust, and mine was judged Best Cheesecake Consistency.

Reboot

The Minnesota State Fair has ended, school is starting and I wore a scarf for the first time in a long time.  Fall is just around the corner...
