Life is Sweet.

What a fantabulous weekend this has been. I love weekends that don't consist of many plans and we fly by the seat of our pants (as my mother would say). Yesterday we met up with lots of friends at UWSP homecoming. It was FREEZING outside but we got to chit-chat with lots of old buds. I drank way too much wappatui but it was sooo good. Chris and I headed out early and stopped to eat some Jimmy John subs, which were terrific. We drove to Stoney Creek to catch a few minutes of a wedding before heading home and calling it an early night. Can you believe it...we have an overnight babysitter, and we are home by 9:30 pm?!

The 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep was pretty sweet though.

Today Chris and Dad spent a few hours destructing the DB house and getting ready for it to be torn down. We are having an escavator tear down the house this week so that it is ready for a demo party on Saturday. I enjoyed walking around the property with Mason, determining where I was going to place my garden, birdhouses and our future pole shed. The mature trees on the property pretty much set up the place for a house and we won't have to do much landscaping...although I'm sure we will put in a few more flowers and things once we're there. It's so exciting now that things are happening.

Tomorrow is Columbus Day, which means that I am off work because my company recognizes the holiday. I forced Chris to take it off with me so that we can get some more things done. We are going to the Marathon County Zoning and Planning office to get some paperwork for a rezoning, which needs to be completed before we dig a pond. Mason has physical therapy at 12:30 and the rest of the afternoon will be spent at the DB house and helping Mom and Dad paint a room in their house. FUN!

I'm looking forward to a busy week. I will be gone in the Dells for a conference Wed-Fri, and we are holding an open house on Saturday. I still haven't gotten anything posted in the paper about it because I can't decide how long I want it to go...what do you think...does 10-1 seem sufficient?

Everything is good in Mason land. Other than waiting to hear from the therapy office about his new stroller, his medical news is pretty much at a stand-still. We are just trudging through the day to day, which has been pretty enjoyable with our happy little guy. Now all I'm hoping for is a nice 50 degree day so we can take Mason up to Rib Mountain for a fall walk.

Hope all is well with your family. Happy fall!
