Well, Happy Turkey Day! I know its a couple of days away but thought I would get a jump on things for once! We will be traveling to State College Pennsylvania to visit Aaron's Brother Adam, sister in law Amy and Lucas, Taryn and Lance. It has been a long time since we have seen them and are so excited to just get there! It will be a long 12 hours, but worth it!
The last month has been a busy one once again. Aaron took Grace and Owen a couple of weeks ago to the Freeman Farm (home of Aaron's Grandma and Great Aunt). That left me with a weekend to myself, ahhh. I had a great time as did Aaron and the kids. Aaron helped do fall clean up and visited with some family members that came from far away. Grace climbed a tree and Owen gave Aunt Fran a headache by disorganizing the dinner plates that had been put out on the dinner table! As you can see from the photos below they also went and visited Grandma and Grandpa King's grave stones too to say "hi".
This weekend Aaron had just a few projects going at once as always. Both cars are in need of some major brake and shock work that he has been tackling with not so much luck. We are also expecting 3/4 of a cow delivered (beef) while we are gone to Penn. So, Aaron has been trying to run an electrical panel out to the garage which itself has caused some headaches along the way. Then just last week we came across Grace's Christmas present on Craigs list in Madison. A new bed!! We have been thinking of getting her a loft bed to free up space in her room and came across a used one and had to snatch it up. So, we needed to get that in the house this weekend before we took off for the holiday. Below are also pics of it all put together. Grace has been hiding in her room all weekend she is so excited to have it!!!
Well, here I go getting long winded again. I hope everyone has a great holiday and I will be back after Turkey day to post pics of our trip!

That time of year....
Well, its that time of year again. It feels like Halloween is long gone and everyone is already thinking about Christmas when it isn't even Thanksgiving yet! I love Halloween, its my favorite holiday. This year was the greatest yet! The temp was 62 degrees and gorgeous and it was a Friday night, just like it should be every year!
We headed over to the our friends/neighbors Rich and Kim's to scarf down some pizza before heading out at 5:30 sharp for trick or treating. Grace decided to be a scary witch this year and Owen had a hand me down spider costume that was too cute. Our friends have 4 kids, Ella which is a month almost to the day younger than Owen, Addie 4, Kristi 5 and Becca who is 8.
We all joined up with our other neighbor friends Tami, Kenny and Sam and hit the streets running, literally! Those kids were on the run from one house to the next all night till 7pm!! We hit every house in the neighborhood including the new phase! The kids had a great time collecting their candy while the adults trick or treated for beer and traveling jello shots provided by our fellow neighbors! We headed back that evening to Rich and Kim's, with the kids all playing together in the basement the adults enjoyed a night full of a million laughs! It was a great evening for both kids and adults! We are truly lucky to have such great friends and neighbors! I thank my lucky stars that our kids are in such a great neighborhood environment with such a fun place to live and little worries! We are truly lucky and blessed, I live for these days!
