Fall

Our Halloween was pretty uneventful, but really fun and relaxing. There's no doubt that we miss all the fun of trick or treating and seeing friends in costume (there's a certain Swedish maid that will always stick in my brain!!). But, overall, this was one of the best Halloweens our family has ever had. No stress with costumes, no coordination of trick or treaters, no worn out children and frazzled parents...ahh just caramel apples, candy, pumpkins, and a (somewhat) scary movie.













Chris and I even got to enjoy a bottle of Castle of Dracula wine.



We've had rain the past few days. Even though it's a balmy 43 degrees here on the plains, look what that adds up to in the mountains!





Yes, that is real snow...within a short driving distance....and it won't just happen once in a decade (Montgomery)...and we can PLAY in it!!! Oh, ya'll have no idea how excited we are to get up there for skiing and sledding. We may even have to take an after school jaunt today just to see it up close and personal.
