We kicked off Halloween with a bang! This is Laura after the party goofing off in an afro wig! Here are the pumpkins we carved all lit up

We had a great time! The food was yummy and the costumes were so fun to put together!!! The pumnpkins turned out great! Thanks Mom for a great time!

Home Again, Home Again...

We are home! It was an amazing 12 days. We spent the whole time together and it was amazing! We will post pictures soon, but just wanted to let everyone know that we are home safe and sound!

WISCONSIN OR BUST!!!!

We leave for Wisconsin tomorrow morning at 8:30 am!!! I am sure we will see and do much more than these pictures convey, but for now you get the idea. We will be gone for 12 days!!! Packing for 3 people for 12 days is crazy...I should know I just finished doing it and now I need a vacation from packing...so we will update about our trip as we go along!

Ya, I have no idea what that is all about, but I am totally excited to see this in person!

Quirks:

#1: I hate to eat standing up...only Yankees eat standing up.
#2: I like things to be pretty and functional...but pretty is before functional...
#3: I despise being late to anything. If I am not 10 minutes early I am late. If I know I am going to be late to something... and I have no responsibilities to that event I probably just dont go.
#4: I clean my ears out everyday...
#5: I do not check my voicemail reguarly, even if there is a missed call, I wait until I have enough time to listen to them....
#6: I dislike leaving voicemails for other people. If I can't get a hold of them I hang up and will call later...unless it is REALLY important.

I think that is it!
I tag: Elise, Jessica, Leslie, Erin, Kathy and ???.

Georgia on our minds....

We are definately having fun here in Georgia, but we are missing Daddy tons!! Just a little shout out to Robs...we love you!!! We'll be home Tuesday night!
Mom and I took little dude and went to the Fall Festival in downtown Duluth yesterday. It was so fun. The weather was overcast and breezy(perfect) and it (the festival)reminded me, in part, of how much I love the South! Of course there were boiled peanuts being sold! YUMMY!

Getting to the festival!



I think this was the kettle corn station...it smelled heavenly...

we thought this sign was pretty funny. Mom tried some...but I don't think she thought it was "Smack your Mama" good...hmmm
Ahh, Georgia...If this wasn't so heavy I would have lugged it home on the plane and put it in my house somewhere!
The Foster's came with us of course...It is pretty much a tradition. If they go to a festival, we go and vice versa. Austin asked if next week we were going to the dirt festival or the grass festival...jokes, of course. But it does seem like the fall is filled with all sorts of festivals! The men are so good to tag along after us women as we shop at the little booths. I think the food is what saves them. This is Bailey and Austin. It was so good to see you Bailey! See came home for the weekend to babysit little Robbie while Mom and I went to womens conference. Thanks Aunt B!
Robbie with his free sunglasses

This was a trip to briscoe park. We went to feed the ducks and do some swinging. This park had a lot of childhood memories for me. But I do not remember the ducks being so aggressive. They are like attack ducks...the geese were especially bad...

We did have fun, and even saw a couple of turtles! Yay for baby swings!
