Coffee

I forgot coffee on my thankful list... how could I forget coffee?  I love it!  When I was a little girl, I remember my mom ALWAYS drinking coffee, in the  morning, with dessert, while she prepared for the day, she would even heat it up in the microwave if it got cold.  Now as I get older, I completely understand the importance of coffee.  I must confess... at first I put creamer in it, lots! And I would only drink it when I was cold, but now... BLACK and EVERYDAY until noon... even the summer. It is a must in my daily routine.  I love coffee... the best part of waking up... is folgers in your in your cup!

Thankful!

Train tracks

Last week we started a new adventure... BRACES!

 

 

WOW!  Those train tracks are beautiful!

Good thing this mama has some sick days to spare, might need them for those monthly appointments... should we continue the Taco Tuesday Tradition?

Pumpkin Drilling

We tried something new with pumpkin carving this year... a drill.  We drilled holes in the pumpkins instead of cutting the pieces out.  We still scooped out the guts and then the drilling began!  BL was super excited to see his drill in such a creative tool.  Super fun, we love to try new techniques.

 

 

 

Photo Fun

On Sunday, we experimented with the camera and a little editing.  What a super cute little group!  I hope we can find a couple keepers.

YAKin'

We have YAKed over the last few weekends.  One year ago, we started our kayaking adventure in Wisconsin. Since then we have kayaked several times around the pond, a trip to Lake Lacey, again in Wisconsin on the Bark River, and ended a few weeks ago on the Des Moines River.
