Time to decorate

We started decorating early since Lauren will be having surgery next week.  Love my hoopty pre-lit tree that is only semi- pre-lit now.

In the news…

Kevin and Lauren made the newspaper for their Chinese skills!

Painting time

Here we are playing a quick game before I had to leave for the night.

Tonight, for MNO we did a wine and painting party.  But first, I had to get some of that yummy fresh baby smell from Baby Grace.

 

The finished products, everybody's is a bit different.

Cuteness!

I’ve been looking for one of these “Band Jackets/Military Jackets” for years (since Stella McCartney did her line for gap in like 2008.)  finally, one I could afford came along so I snatched it up!  This is just toooooo cute (in my opinion!)

Only in Minnesota

(ok and probably in Canada too, lol!)

 

Tonight, we got to enjoy the Larson ice rink for the first time.  The kids had a blast (but boy is it windy up here, we need more trees STAT!)

4 strand braid

I thought this was pretty cool so I had to take a photo.

Garth Brooks

Garth Brooks=Amazing concert!!

Hermione Granger

This month for the 400 club, if the kids read at least 400 minutes outside of school they were allowed to dress up as their favorite story book character.  Lauren chose Hermione of course.  She even has her own time turner.

SCARY!

Ack! There’s a troll under Jackson’s bed!!

Bubye Trampoline

It was time to take down the trampoline for the year today.  We were sad to see it go, but the weather is going to start getting nasty soon.

No Beanitudes were harmed in the process of this jump.
