Grandma Time

We feel blessed that grandma was able to spend some time here. She watched plenty of soccer, played with lots of baby dolls, took most of us on individual dates (eric missed out on this one), babysat, cleaned a bathtub/toys after someone pooped there, sang lots of songs, helped get halloween costumes, and even filled out some school papers. After two weeks, I think she may have been ready to move on to a quieter house and to a place in which she did not have to share a room with stinky boys. :) But we were glad she was here with us!

Just a few pictures from a short visit to the beach and the park while she was here and from our mini-Halloween celebration to make the traditional homemade rootbeer and popcorn balls.  

Date Night: Corn Maze

Usually, date night around here means running errands or doing our costco shopping.

Exciting right?

However, this time, we expanded our horizons and were off to dinner and a corn maze. 

 Two hours in a corn maze and we succeeded in two things. 1) plenty of eerie pictures 2) teaching the guys they should listen to the girls because we are always right
