Skinny Love......a song.

I know this isn't something everyone will like, but that's the beauty of having my own blog.  I share what I like.  This is a song that my oldest son, Michael played on the guitar and sang to me, and I just love it.  I wish I could put him singing and playing on here, but I can't.  So this will have to do.

Halloween Parade 2011

On Saturday Me, Jon, Emily, Caleb, and Koriah met up with my Mother in Law for the Anoka Halloween Parade.  It was a nice time, the kids had a lot of fun.  The thing I like most about it is the people watching.  I LOVE to people watch, and believe me there are plenty of different walks to look at there...Anyway, enjoy some pics, which I'm sure will take several different posts to post since they changed it on me...

IT WORKED!!!  IT WORKED!!!  IT REALLY REALLY WORKED!!  I didn't have to make 3 different posts for all my pics!!!  :O)

pumpkin carving con't...

I don't like this new picture limit thing....don't know how one can change that though...so here are the rest of the pics...

Pumpkin Carving~

Me, Emily and Caleb went down to a small Pumpkin Patch last night and they each picked out a pumpkin. Jon doesn't "get into that" anymore, so it was just the 3 of us. We got home and the kids got busy. I was pretty proud of how well the pumpkins turned out. They each did one themselves, and the booklet of designs said 'for 12 or older'.....LOL

You tell me! Did Caleb's team win the playoffs??

He played good, and he played hard. I am proud of you Caleb, whether your team came in 1st place or your team came in last. You play good, you gave it your all and that's all that matters.
And how many kids can say they suffered a penalty at the hands of another player severe enough to get him out of the game for the rest of the season, AND lose a screw from your helmet due to the impact?! :O)

Pumpkin Cupcakes with cream cheese frosting~

I promised Emily we would make cupcakes while Troy was gone hunting. Well, Troy is gone hunting, so it was time to make them! We went to Brainerd yesterday and visited with Sami and James for a couple of hours. Got to meet her horses Cricket, and Jelly Bean. And her new kitty, Orion. So today we washed our bedding at the laundromat, came home, turned on the football game for Caleb and got busy. These are Emily's creations, and she is very proud of them! It was the first time we ever made cupcakes together...LOL how sad is that? But we have now, and that is what matters.

Emily and Koriah's newest fort~

Again the girls spent over 2 hours building this fort. I love love love that they are still "little girls". I relish this time, as I know it won't be much longer before Emily no longer needs the "Kissing Hand" before school, or our good night saying, or building forts with her friends...
*sigh*
