Shakey Shakey

Wow!!! I just felt an earthquake!!! I’ve lived in the midwest my entire life, and I never thought I would experience one, and we did, and it was a bit scary.

The kids slept right through it, but I don’t know if I will be able to sleep tonight. That was unreal.

Halloween Parades and Parties

This year the boys Halloween Parties and Parades were scheduled at the exact same time. I was really bummed that I wouldn’t be able to make it to both. This is Dylan’s last year at his preschool, and Thade’s last year at his Attendance Center, so I was one grumpy momma. James and I decided for one parent to go to one, and the other parent go to the other. He got to go to Dylan’s and I went to Thade’s.

The boys were ready to go. This was the first day that Thade has been anxious to go to school.

Agnes didn’t want to wear her costume, she wanted to wear her new coat.

I packed along some coffee in my new cup (Thanks Uncle Rob).

It was a chilly 32 F, and we had to park a good 5 blocks away.

Agnes was snug in her stroller though.

She really loves her new coat.

The parade moved quickly and I was lucky to get one picture of Thade.

I was still a little grumpy about missing Dylan’s. He was happy though,

he brought home a ton of candy.

Happy Halloween to all!
