pumkin time!

We decided to paint or use markers on our pumkins this year since we needed to keep them in the house. The kids are still upset about last year. "Some big bad boys came and through our pumkins in the road." So they are in our front window.

Sunday after a trip to Perkins for breakfast Emma racked the leaves. That lasted three minutes. Thought for the week with a five year old, How do you get them to realize how much they have and get to do, and be happy with that. Instead of continuously asking for more. Mommy is frustrated. We are going to a play/musical of the Berenstain Bears at Viterbo this afternoon and Emma is complaining because they do not have treats to buy there like at he LaCrosse Center.

While Daddy and Alex played FOOTBALL! Alex got a youth football yesterday with arm/play wrist band.

Mommy laughed Friday night when picking up Alex's socks, while turning them inside out a whole pile of sand, dirt and bits of leaves fell all over Mommy and the carpet. That's my three year old boy! And then Saturday Mommy needed a kleenx so she reached into the box to get one, she pulled out one with a HUGE dried bugger in it. "Alex is this yours?" "Yes, I did it when Brad was here." Mommy thought, well it is an improvement from wiping them on the walls for furniture.
