First snow!

And it snowed! The boys went to school on Friday and were dismissed at 11:00. I was so glad because by 3:15 when I would have had to get them it was nasty out. Friday was an awesome snow day! Huge flakes fell all day. They say we got about 13 inches. Saturday dawned clear and sunny. They couldn't wait to get outside to play in it. It was about 10 degrees but that didn't bother them. I think they were out for over an hour. Some was spent shoveling with Dad but play was also done.

Mommy's Birthday

 Another year has come and gone. Happy Birthday to Mom! She got a shopping weekend to Sioux Falls and came home to dinner, birthday cake, balloons, birthday banner and flowers from her 4 boys. What a blessed Mom! I think they like me just a little bit. =) 

Fall leaves

We took advantage of a nice cool fall Saturday (a few weeks ago) and did some outside yard work. The boys enjoyed raking leaves and then jumping in the pile. We took about 7 big bags of leaves to the dump. We thought we may be raking again but as of this weekend it is no longer needed as we now have inches of white stuff all around!

Rochester weekend

The boys had Friday off of school so we took a long weekend and headed to MN. It was fun to be at Grandpa and Grandma's over Halloween. Brian was also there as he was in MN for work. The big boys helped Stan with deck building. The little boys had fun exploring and climbing trees.

Halloween

We had a fun halloween this year. We were in Rochester at Grandpa and Grandma's house.
