Heading for the bus!

Dakota and Colter heading to their bus stop...they could go right out our front door, but they choose to walk down the road to Uncle Scott's unless we are running late :o) We had another beautiful snowfall yesterday. However, this snow was very wet and slushy. I had to throw yesterdays coats and snowpants in the dryer before they could head out the door this morning.

It is safe to say we cleaned out a few candy bowls!

The cousins minus a few (missing Emmie and Alexa)... you can say occasionally we are the talk of the town. We cleaned out more than one candy bowl. Eleven soon to be 12 kids (my sister-in-law Gayle is pregnant) with ages ranging from 10 to 2...we turn a few heads. We will have a new Linder/Fishell kid starting Kindergarten for the next five years. We are very blessed and are very grateful!

Our "little spooks" turned 8!

It was yet another crazy Halloween! The boys had 3 different parties and I'm officially retiring from one of them next year. Their first party was at school, the second was a class party for two hours at our house and the third was a family party before trick or treating. The weather was absolutely beautiful!! No gloves, coats, whining :o) I asked my 10 year old niece if she even knew a warm Halloween existed?

The highlight of their birthday was a phone call from Minnesota singing Happy Birthday to the boys on speaker phone!! We miss everyone and it was great to know that we were missed too!
