Halloween







Jake’s fever broke in the night as he woke up all hot and sweaty. He felt fine by morning and was feeling himself during the day. We decided to take the kids trick-or-treating. It has been 4 years since Mark has gotten to go along. The sad thing is I think when he went before, it was because he was done with harvest. This time it is because everything is still wet and we are no where near done. To make things simple, I like to take the kids to the mall. I am not a big fan of going to strangers homes begging for candy. At the mall, you don’t worry about the weather, dangerous candy, and you get to see a parade of kids in their costumes. Luke sat in his stroller cute as can be the little Mickey Mouse. Jake jingled when he walked with his spurs, and Jayden stayed warm in her little dance shorts. My parents also met up to see the kids and went with us for supper at Hickory park. On the way back, we stopped at Grammer and Po’s for a brief trick or treat.

Volleyball

Jake  went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s  Volleyball game in Coon Rapids.  They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them.  Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

 In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini  television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

 It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
