Light Up Night

We've been to downtown's light up night in the past....this year, we stuck to our little town's celebration instead.  Had a good time with Chloe and April!

So excited....we made them wait for a few minutes in the car...and took some pictures :) It was only 12 degrees (or, 20, but windy!) and it didn't seem like a good idea to stay out longer than we needed to!




They were passing out free glow-stick necklaces....and then the girls posed by the tree....


The big kids were whipping around their glow-necklaces.  April carefully observed, and then started in on that fun.  We made sure she wasn't standing nearby anyone.... :)


At the same time the tree lit up, fireworks started!  Both girls were a little overwhelmed, but kept watching and ended up enjoying the show.  Afterwards we went in to the library and the school's cafeteria for crafts and refreshments.  It was a nice celebration!

Thanksgiving Turkey

My brother-in-law raises turkeys, and we had one on Thanksgiving this year! It was a 31 pound turkey and took up a lot of space in my refrigerator for a few days before the holiday. I started the cooking process early so it was done by lunchtime.  Here is the turkey, barely fitting into my oven!  "the farmer and the chef" :)

Crazy May

 As is typical with three active kids, we've had a busy last few weeks! Photos coming soon of the dance recital, Peter's birthday party, school activities and more :)  Here is our May started: No power for 5 days! A wind-storm went through our area and several power lines were knocked over. We did have school for 3 days. The weather was perfectly sunny and 70 degrees, so it wasn't too bad :)

Spring has sprung?

This week has brought some strange weather! On Saturday, it was freezing while we watched Peter's baseball game - it was the "late night, under the lights" 8:00 pm game. and my toes were numb when the game was over. Then, Sunday was beautiful weather to watch soccer! April scored TWO goals in her game! We had a silent-auction at a church lunch on Sunday to raise money for the Youth Group Missions Trip. Peter bid on a cooler full of interesting flavored soda-pop....and he won! The first one he tried? Pickle Pop.  For a few years, our neighborhood has been the area of choice for a few mallard ducks to nest. The momma duck picked my neighbors' driveway this year...it seems like Spring must be coming if there are eggs!
