I love Halloween!!

Paige and I made this Halloween project a couple of days ago. I saw it in a magazine and thought I could do it myself. They sell white pumpkins but they're $5.99 or more so I bought an orange one at Target for $1.99 and Paige and I painted with white paint I already had. I bought a package of black spider rings for $2.00 cut the ring part off and hot glued them to make it look like they were crawling out. A little creepy and cute!!!

Cedarburg to Chicago!!!

We had a wonderful time on our trip to Wisconsin first and then a day in Chicago!! We left Sunday morning and got back Wednesday evening. Our kids were well taken care of by friends/ward members and we wouldn't have been able to do it without them. We ate, shopped, walked, golfed, relaxed, and took in all the sights, sounds, and smells of Wrigley Field!! Oh what a sight to see!! Rich was like a kid on Christmas morning!It was a fun trip and we were blessed to have been able to go because of one of the companies Rich writes for Badger Mutual based out of Milwaukee invited us to attend. Enjoy some of the photos taken of our trip!!!

Just because!!

Erica indulged herself this weekend by eating BBQ chicken sandwich from Chick-fil-a minus the bun!!! And her 1st Krispy Kreme donut this moning...two bites and she was done!! Drew ate 2!! Happy Eating Everyone!!!

We enjoyed an overnighter in the Pines at Camp Lo Mia last Friday with our ward family! The weather was perfect the kids slept great until 5am when the rain came pounding down. So you know what that meant for the rest of the morning!! Mud puddles to play in(Erica could't get enough of it) We picked berries so good! Went on hikes!(Drew tried climbing everything) Rang the dinner bell over and over(Paige loved this)
GOOD TIMES!!!
