Family

We had such a great weekend. It was really busy and we had a lot of projects going on, but it was a very productive time. Dad and Clint did an incredible job on the tile in the bathroom. My next post will include pictures. I am so excited!
We also ground up meat from the critters we have harvested so far and made 50 lbs of sausage and then about 25 pounds of burger. Luckily, it was breakfast sausage, so we didn't stuff it or smoke it, which meant it didn't take quite as long. But, it was still a very long day.
Clint and his Dad hunted several mornings and couldn't quite get on a doe for Bill. Last night, Clint was able to get one, so the plan is to send it home with Bill and Sheri.
Halloween was very fun. We only went to a few houses with Dane, but he seemed to enjoy it when he figured out they were handing out candy!!! Once he got his first taste, he wanted lots of it! That is why we don't keep it in the house, none of us can stay out of it!!! lol
Dane was spiderman and did good wearing the outfit/hat but he couldn't see out of the mask, so that didn't work out so well. We did make sure we went to Grandma and Grandpa's and he got special treat bags from them! (as did Mom and Dad!!!)
Marsha and Sheri were really excited to hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters but we only had a couple. We saw more out on the side streets, but we live on a busy street and I think parents prefer the quieter ones.
Well, here are some pictures from our awesome time!
Marsha and Dane (he's eating whoppers...)

My little Spiderman!



Here is Dane enjoying some time with Gramps.





Since we had a lot of home projects we didn't do a ton of outdoor stuff. However, we did make sure we make it to the park a couple times for Dane to burn off some energy!

We all had such a great time! The only problem is that everyone leaves today, so now I am going to be sad and the house will be so quiet... But, I can't wait until the next visit!

I just love these photos of Dane and family. They are really fun. I had a great time being with him in October. You all are such great parents. I wish I could have gotten the camera out sooner when he was carrying those two empty paint buckets. It was a classic missed opportunity.
