Fall...


Fall is my favorite time of year. This is the wonderful view I see when I look out the dining room window from the computer where I am busy doing my homework.

Brinkman's Pumpkin Patch



Saturday, the kids and I went to Brinkman's U-pick pumpkin patch. We took Papa with us also that was he could take some pictures and I would be in them since I have been getting complaints that I am never in the pictures because I am always taking them. We had a great time! Leif told me he had to use his big muscles for some of those heavy pumpkins. We got 23 pumpkins of all sizes for $15. So I also got a huge purple mum to decorate with. Heidi and Leif got their picture taken in the

back of the van with their pumpkins and my mum. Heidi has a flavored honey stick in her mouth and Papa's dog Hannah is peeking over the backseat. What a crew!!!

Halloween Costumes



I started making the kids' Halloween costumes today. Grandma Barb and I were at Walmart on Saturday and I decided to just look in the fabric area. I found a cute bat fabric so I decided to go for it and make the kids' costumes this year. They both wanted to be Batman and Batgirl, but now I have a batgirl and a spider. I got the capes done and Heidi's batgirl skirt. Of course both of the kids loved the capes and ran all around the house. But, Leif still wants to be a spider, so we have borrowed some socks from Greeba to make legs with.

Baking blondies


I made some 1/2 M&M 1/2 butterschotch chip blondies today. Heidi enjoyed licking the beaters when I was finished.

Princess Heidi


Heidi was a princess for a day! She was in Eric's cousin Craig Overly wedding. He married Bethany Manns.
