It's a Rental!

Well, needless to say we have been keeping busy!  Friday night we went to the free night at the museum... though I am not sure why since we have a pass, I think it was because there was a program we wanted to take the kids to.. that was fun the rest was not.  Wall to wall kids is not a fun time!  Saturday was Fiber Fest, only in small town USA!  The kids enjoyed it... both learned how to sew then we stumbled upon an indoor horse show to Lucy's great pleasure!  To round out our afternoon, we went to a Fancy Nancy party at the library... Lucy was in fancy heaven!!  Owen just rolled his eyes and was happy there were blocks to build and knock down. 

The last couple days we have heavy rain for here (which is just steady rain and a strong wind from time to time).  I am told that is not the normal kind of rain that we will be getting this winter but more a mist.  It is the prefect steady rain to fall asleep to, but this morning I woke up and there is a puddle in my kitchen!  Let's say I am glad it's a rental :)

Hope you all have a great day.

Go BREWERS!!!

'Dunger'

This past week has been a busy one for the kids and I as well as Dan. Dan has been keeping busy learning how things work and are run here in the pacific northwest opposed to the Midwest way! He will let you know it is a bit different. The calendar has been filling quickly with meeting and conferences, but we are sure to scheulde in one extra special fun event per week to do as a family! The week started out wet and windy... So much so that following my run into Olympia with the kids on Monday morning we were intercepted by the firemen saying our road was closed do to downed trees and power lines! Lucy is very dramatic in telling this story of course as then we had to go out to lunch prior to going to preschool. The rest of the week was much sunnier and even warmed up a little! The kids and I started exploring our city on our own this week as we went to story time in Lacey and the Hands on children's museum in Olympia. Fun was had by all! We are looking forward to returning to both places again soon. Te excitement continued as we walked down our long driveway to get the mail and the kids started yelling it's a snake!!!! So I caught up to them to only find a big fat slow moving slug!!! ;) Dan didn't find it very funny but the kids did! Now, as for 'dunger'... Owen has a suffed dog called buck and several other dogs he just calls dog and gunner he has always called dog or doggie... On Friday afternoon gunner was not coming back to the hous quick enough for Owen's liking and I think he was getting worried so he started yelling dunger in a very loud and shaky voice... Doggie has not returned. Enjoy the fall Wisconsin colors... We don't see too many colors besides green here. Jt
