Happy Halloween!

Signs that the kids are getting big:

No annual Yokom Halloween card :(

No big planning and shopping for Halloween costumes :(

Sign that the kids are still kids:

Trick or Treating for CANDY!

Pumpkin Carving

Focus!

 

 

Curbside Consults!

Lack of focus SHOCKED to only get rated 2 out of 10 on his freehand pumpkin carving when inquiry posted on social media!

Fantastic!

Stamina!

We are ready for Halloween, and we have the carved pumpkins to prove it!

Favorite

Hard to pick our favorite piece at the first FMAYs concert of the year, but NOT hard to pick our favorite violinist!  Encore Luke, Encore!

Goals

Caleb’s goal for this XC season was to be all state.

 

The competition was tough, but a goal was set, time and miles were committed, and Caleb’s goal was achieved! All State…16th place!

And…the Spartan team…5th place!

A great year in the books!

Pretty Sure

Luke’s pretty sure his English teacher, Mr. Hallquist, nominated him for student of the week. 

When Mom explained she was certain because of the suggestion that Luke’s favorite class was English, Luke remained pretty sure and could not be convinced to be certain.

So smart, yet…

Special Guest

Auntie received the most prestigious invite EVER…

“Special guest” at Kate’s kindergarten to carve pumpkins!

Presenting…Auntie, Kate and our Hello Kitty pumpkin

Do You See What I See?

State XC here we come, and we have the yard and door signs to prove it!

 

Undecided to Unanimous

We remained undecided with how to spend the long teacher’s convention weekend until Caleb and Luke said, “How about if we bike the Fargo Marathon route?”

We had SO MUCH FUN!

We stopped for several pictures, a park and pizza along the way!

  

After the long ride, our bums were a wee bit tired, but it was unanimous to add biking the Fargo Marathon route  to our annual fun to do list!

LOVE that our crazy family calls this fun!

SOLD

Warm and fashionable :)

We’ll take two please!
