Great week!!

WOW!! What a great week we have had! We got to see lots of people and got lots done. Plus for the most part the girls were much better!! LOL!!!

First we were able to see my mom (grandma kick). SHe was at a quilters retreat in a small town up here so we went out to lunch with her and went back to the retreat to see the goats and chickens. She and her friend Bobbi made these super cute crowns and let the girls wear them during lunch, how brave of them.

Then this weekend we went to our college homecoming at Wartburg College U RAH RAH RAH!!!!!!!!!! It was so much fun and we got to see some of our best friends! You know there are people that you will be friends with no matter what and how long it is between when you see them? Well Moose and Johnna are those kinds of friends. Tim and Moose have been friends since Wartburg and they get together at least a couple times a year. And we TOTALLY need to go up and see them in WI (that is for you Johnna!!!!)

The kids all played together after a shy start. But then they played all day and just kept going and going and going!!!! My they have a lot of energy!!! Tim and Moose took them to the pool for a while too. Johnna and I got to just sit and talk. That was nice. Here are some pics from the day!

Have a great week!!!!!!!

Kids - 2568...Parents - 0

Yes that would be the score of today. The girls totally beat us!!! Mind you it is Monday, so that means that I worked and TIm and I only spent a couple of hours with them tonight and they still beat us by that much!!!! They were INSANE tonight!!! I even broke out my famous "if you don't stop I am going to eat your faces!!!!!" Yeah, it totally didn't work!!! I am not sure that most children's therapists would take that same approach. I am not sure but I think that I just heard a thump upstairs of someone falling out of bed. Good thing TIm is up there to save them.

So I know that I said that I would post pumpkin patch pics and never did. So I will do that now!Then I am off to bed so that I don't have to eat any children tomorrow!

When we were at this "patch" picking out pumpkins there were lots of fun Halloween creatures everywhere. Brynn was a little nervous around them. THen she saw something that she thought was a bird. So she went over to it and was mid sentence saying that the bird was not scary and it opened it's eyes and started talking and flaping its wings!!!!! AAAHHHH!! It was a big gargoile statue!! Oh my goodness Laney and I giggled and Brynn ran and hid behind my leg! She was NOT impressed!!!! She decided that she was not going to go near anything else no matter how nice it looked. The lady that worked there took pity on them and gave them little bags of popcorn. That seemed to fix it all!

Here is Laney with a pic of all but two of the pumpkins that we picked out.

My favorite one is the lumpy one. Kind of like me!!! He he he he!

Last night we went on a hayrack ride with our church. It was pretty fun! We got to take our friend Lauren with us too. I have to ask her mom first before I can post pictures of it though!

Ok I am off to bed now! Have a great night!!!

We are officially farmers

Tim finally made the decision. He has been thinking about for a while now and has been looking at numbers until his head is swimming!!! But this Friday he made the decision to stay with it. So we took the girls out to his grandparents farm (where the farm land is) to take some rides in the tractors!!! Very fun! The girls rode in the tractor and in the combine. We got a couple pics of them.

Here is a pic of Tim's grandparents, his dad, Tim and the girls. I think Tim's grandpa and dad are pretty excited that he is going to be farming too!!

Brynn even tried a soy bean. She saw the grandpas eating them straight out of the pod so she did too. She said that she liked it! LOL!! Laney was not as adventurous. They loved seeing how everything worked and loved visiting Grandpa Harold and Grandma Ola.

Autumn Leaves

We spent much of the day out in the leaves. It was so nice here!!!! Brynn and Laney kept wanting me to throw them into the leaves. Then we had to play dragons where Brynn stole the "eggs" and ran away giggling!!! Tomorrow is a preschool day. Lots of errands and maybe a visit to the pumpkin patch!

Here are some pics from the day.
