Halloween

We had a fun Halloween the weather was beautiful, no coats needed. We hit a few trunk or treats and than a couple neighborhoods, with a stop at Grandpa and Grandmas house and a final stop at Chipotle's for the Booritio special they do every year.

Amy was Snow White, Jaime a mummy and Melissa wore her bathrobe, pj's and carried Clifford.

Let me tell you about Jaime's costume. Three attempts to make one costume, first we started with too little pants, they fit until I sewed the muslin on the pants, found another pair apparently I don't catch on fast,..... final attempt worked and looked pretty good. But wait the top part was a black zip up hoodie, that turned out too small, ended up cutting the sweat shirt apart and sewing it onto a white t-shirt, this mama is bound and determined or just crazy.

Pumpkin Patch and more

Hay ride to the pumpkin patch and

searching for the perfect pumpkin. We had a fun day at Schaake's Pumpkin patch, Amy and I went a couple years ago with friends, the girls were out of school so we all were able to go this year.

It was easier finding Melissa at this home game (pictures from 9/30) she is by the girl in pink playing the flute with the flag right behind her.
In this one she is at the end by the girl in pink.

Break in the 3rd quarter

Paint Coop class and Turner Days

All the kids looked like this when the class was over.








(The pictures are crazy out of order)
It's that time again, Homecoming game was Friday night Turner beat Piper 10-8. It was a beautiful fall night now jackets needed. Amy fell asleep in the 3rd quarter. Saturday morning we started our day at the Turner Day Parade, Melissa was marching with the Marching Band and Jaime rode on the school float. After the parade we headed down to Steinger field to pick up Jaime and Melissa and take in all the festivities. Amy bounced in the bounce house and played some games, we ate lots of junk and food, cotton candy, snow cones, hot dogs, burritos, tacos and another snow cone. Jaime tried a fried oreo. We talked to friends saw people we haven't seen in awhile and watched a little mud volleyball. It was time to go I had an unhappy 5 yr old laying on the ground wailing.

Jim spent the day in Manhattan with Kaitlyn. Kappa Delta had Dad's day, they tailgated and attended the football game. He told me I needed to attend a game before Kaitlyn graduates it was quite the experience.

Family Day at K-State and Jaime's B-day

We stop at the Bug Museum and what a lucky day for us!! Salsa with meal worms....yum
Stir fried crickets.....not pictured chocolate covered crickets and fried meal worms. Jaime thought they all were pretty tasty......
Amy with a bug face.
Cockroach races, glad these things are not in my house.



It was good to see Kaitlyn, she is in her second year at K-State. We ended the day celebrating her 20th birthday at Smashburgers before heading home.

Amy's first soccer game

Amy had a lot of fun playing soccer for the first time, well she probably had more fun talking, skipping and boy chasing.
