Hattie's Birthday Party

 At the end of October we traveled to Hattie's birthday party at Pumpkin Creek Farms. It was a super cute pumpkin patch with a lot of fun activities for the kids to do. We took only a few pictures and actually none with the birthday girl but the kids sure had a good time!

Barn Quilt

 Shane made a huge barn quilt for dad's shed about 2 years ago. We've been storing it in our garage and finally found a day to get it hung up. It was quite the process but it looks so good! 








Fun with a Bus

 Back in September, Shane had to help out with coaching golf due to a few of the coaches being on quarantine. One night, he drove one of the school buses home so he could take it to the meet the next day. He sure surprised us when he pulled into the driveway! It was hilarious and of course we had to go for a ride. They thought it was so fun and played in there for quite a while! 





So they wanted to take my phone out to the bus to take their own pictures so the next few pictures they took on their own. Blaine took a picture of Ali throwing a fit because she insisted it was her turn to take pictures. 



Random Pictures from my phone

 Here's a random collection of pictures that I had in my phone from the past couple of weeks! 

They were pretending to play a football game and Bryce went to the garage to get a flag and put it under the TV. Then they all stood there just like like and had Alexa play the National Anthem. It was seriously the sweetest thing ever and they came up with that all on their own. 






We celebrated my birthday this year by all going to get flu shots after school. It was a super traumatic experience where all 3 kids ended up crying or screaming at some point. We did go out to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings afterwards so at least that part was fun! 

Ali and I had a quick lunch date and shopping trip before all the restaurants were shut down again to indoor seating. We sure do love Taco Bell and Target! 


We went to the lake house in early November to mow one last time but the leaves were so thick that we decided to just spend some time on the dock and enjoy the beautiful fall weather. We love being at the lake house and the gorgeous view! 

Oh this girl loves her ice cream! I had to snap a quick picture of her in her element!

Halloween

 We had a fun Halloween this year and it was nice that it was on a Saturday. We could make a day of it instead of rushing around after school for a few hours. Ali and Blaine were set on being the Kratt Brothers from a show on PBS called "Wild Kratts." I made their vest and all their creature power discs and then they both changed their minds. Ali decided to be a cow and thank goodness I kept the costume when Blaine was a cow a few years ago. Blaine decided to be a tasmanian devil (the animal, not the cartoon character). Nobody knew what he was suppose to be but he didn't care! Bryce wanted to be a football player again but this time a Bears player! They didn't have parties or a parade at school but they got to wear their costumes all day on Friday and they both said they were still able to do some fun Halloween activities throughout the day. We started trick or treating about 3:30 and didn't make it back home till about 9:30. We had a great day and the kids were so excited about the amount of candy that they received! 







Daddy did a race car for Bryce 

   Mommy did a cat for Ali and Bryce actually carved Blaine's face
