Twin Thoughts: IT'S FALL {September Recap}

I love October.

The colors change, the weather begins to get cooler, and... yeah. It also means Thanksgiving is just over a month away!! *bounces*

Happenings:

-Had a lot of fun watching old home videos.

-Kansas State Fair. Food that I didn't eat (but it smelled AMAZING), weird robot guys, crafts, rides, and a bright sun made for the perfect day for the fair. (I also got to briefly see a friend that I don't get to see often, so that was fun!)

A butter sculpture at the fair; yes, this is made completely out of real butter.

-Our road got paved. PAVED, Y'ALL!! Do you know how many years it's been since our road was paved??

-Ringo and Renae were born! They're so adorable. <3

-Chowboy just randomly asked if we remembered 'that movie we used to watch when we were kids about a train'.
Well, it wasn't about a train, but we all remembered it. Scuffy the Tugboat. Any of y'all seen it?

-Found this on Pinterest and thought of my father right away. He wholeheartedly approved.

Books:

Well. I'm quite disgusted with myself. Look at this measly list! Look!

Snippet:

Hey, I actually wrote this month!

“It’s all right, Colin, just act natural,” he murmured to himself. He clutched the wooden box tightly, willing his hands to stop their trembling. “Pretend that this is just a normal, everyday mission.” A shudder passed through his body as he thought of the consequences that might occur if he failed to convince the queen that he held the bloody heart of Princess Brianna, and not of a stray sheep.

He had only been on the opposite side of the queen’s wrath once, but that had been when king Daniel was there and able to intervene.

But now he wasn’t. “Lord, give me strength.”

He took a deep breath and knocked on the heavy oak door. When a soft, mellow, yet commanding voice bid him enter, he turned the knob and prayed that the woman wouldn’t notice the beads of sweat standing out on his forehead.

“As you commanded, Yer Majesty.” Colin bowed and held the box out in front of him, inwardly trembling in disgust at what she thought it was.

She took the box in her delicate white fingers and pried the lid open with her long fingernails. She took one look inside and a slow, sly smile spread across her face. Colin felt sick. Sick with the deception, but even more sick with the knowledge that this woman, the wife of the very man he loved and pledged allegiance to, wanted to murder her very own stepdaughter.

Pun:

A clown held the door open for me today. It was a nice jester.

Music:

So I never knew until now that VeggieTales sings country songs. Like how?!
