Orchard take 2! I don't think Griffie loved me here. I ( Brooke) snapped a this shot of Em and her kidlets in the orchard.

Thanks for the fun day peeps!

Brooke 30/52

Brooke, Cash and Vada met up for a play date with us (the Thoms) and our friends Becky and Alice today. We spent a few hours at the Pine Wood Apple Orchard in Delwood. I (Emily) snapped a shot of Brooke and the kidlets in the orchard. She took some of us to post too - guess I got the better end of that deal :) BUT - they are so dang cute naturally that even I could not wreck the shot! Thanks for the fun day!

Can you guess what we all are?

Ok, I will tell you... Since I didn't get the kidds any costumes early this year, and then we got swined H1N1 a week before Halloween, and were still swined sick ON halloween, we decided to get creative...

• Vada was borrowed her costume from her God-mama, and it fit her sickly grumply mood on that night...
  
  
  
• 
  
  Cashi REALLY wanted to be the black spiderman?  Lucky for me, he was tickled with the black bat-boy costume I came up with...He wanted to sleep in the headpiece, but since the ears and chin were secured with pins, we decided just the mask would have to do... and yes, the bat he is holding is a glow in the dark bat toy that we mask-taped to his shirt..
  
  
  
• 
  
  Grady decided a 'Zombie Hunter' would do...
  
  
  
• 
  
  and I went with the theme of the week... H1N1. oink oink

We took one last boat ride of the year with Grandma and Grandpa out to the island property today. It was sunny and beautiful but still chilly enough to require some bundling up. Nothing like a morning of fresh air and cold noses to remind you how wonderful fall is! Thanks for the cute pic Nana!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!We took our little beaver into town to go trick-er-treatin' for his first time. He was amazed that people kept putting candy into this plastic pumpkin Mom was having him carry. So many suckers it was over whelming huh little man!! It was awesome fun even though we only went to a few houses. And except for the one package of animal crackers and the suckers, all of the rest of the candy mysteriously disappeared overnight....I wonder where it went....... Daddy??

Again with the crazy stuff on our heads. I really don't know how this started, but I was happy to join in the fun.

Jake and I celebrated our 7th anniversary today. Jake's parents watched the boys yesterday so we could take a drive to St. Croix Falls for lunch and enjoy the fall day together.


We laid low on our actual anniversary. I think Sundays make great nap days. Before everyone crashed, we spent a little time reading.
