An Evening Out

We are so loving this weather.
This evening the boys wanted to light a fire in our fire pit, and I'm so glad we obliged. We enjoyed left over chili sitting around the fire, talking , enjoying the wonderful evening and the beautiful full moon.

Halloween!!!!!

What a GREAT Halloween!!!
We had sooooo much FUN!!!
When we talked about getting together for dad's birthday, mom said she wanted to do it on Saturday - Halloween, so I decided it would be fun if we made it a costume party. Everyone (except dad) thought it was a fun idea, so we went with it. It was hilarious and a blast!!!
The weather was perfect . . . . we visited . . . . we laughed . . . . . and laughed some more . . . . we went on a hay ride . . . . we had a polka dance . . . you just never know what we'll do when we all get together, but it's a guarantee that it will be a great memory making, picture taking event, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Soccer Season comes to a close

(yay) It was a fun soccer season, but it's always nice when it comes to a close.
Both boys had their last game Saturday morning, then we had the end of season party. All the players were recognized and presented a participation trophy, then treated to a hot dog lunch.
Noah was so proud because he's the only one that the coach said something about. She said that he did a great job on the field talking to the other players and keeping them motivated and in the game.
Kade's coach didn't say anything, but I know she could have praised him for doing a great job too. I know this because I was his coach. :)

Celebrating Dad

Friday was my daddy's 68th birthday. We were having the family celebration the next day, so that evening we put a candle in one of the pumpkin bars and sang to him. He thought we were crazy, but then again he always does - we just tell him we come by it honestly. Love you daddy / PawPaw!!

Pumpkin yum!

I found a cute, yummy-looking recipe for pumpkin bars online and just had to try it.
I had the day off Friday because of Kade's saint program so I mixed up and baked a batch. By the time the kids got out of school they were cool enough to decorate. They enjoyed decorating and eating them, and the decorated bars turned out oh so cute.

Saints Program

At school on Friday some of the classes participated in a program for all Saints Day. The kindergarten and 2nd grade dressed up as saints, while other classes did a skit on a specific saint. Kade and two other little boys were Saint Blaise - Kade and the other kindergartener had to say "I am Saint Blaise" then the second grader said something about the saint. It was so cute and they all did a great job.
