Thanksgiving and Deer Hunting....It's Tradition!

We have survived the very long week of the Wisconsin Gun Deer hunting season with Thanksgiving thrown in right in the middle. We have so much to be thankful for this year!!

My Mom returned from taking her cousin to Florida just in time for me and the kids to move in for the weekend. This is tradition so that I can get up and hunt and she stays with the kids during the day. Derek was able to shoot a nice buck and also a couple of does. I never fired a shot. I could have but let a few smaller bucks go waiting for the big one to show up. The weather was too warm early in the week, 50's which makes the deer less active and then took a plunge later in the week. I took a few days off in the middle as I still had to work and Makenna had 2 days of school. All in all it was a successful hunt as Dad was cutting up venison last night during that horrible Packer game.

Robbie loves to see all the Big Bucks and loves to be at the farm to see all the cows and ride on the "vroom vroom"

I'm ready to go uncle Chad!

Thanksgiving Fun with Uncle Travis

It was 60+ degree's on Thanksgiving Day. It's tradition for the guys to go hunting and then everyone comes to my parents house for dinner and we proceed to eat until we can't move. Then we go back out and hunt in the evening. We also made a stop at Grandma Diane's house in the evening to partake in Thanksgiving festivities with that side of the family as well.Grandma Diane headed back to Texas for the winter but is coming home to celebrate Christmas with us all in January.



This is Robbie yesterday at nap time. He was done with Thanksgiving and all the festivities that come with it. For some reason he has latched onto this doll and loves to cuddle with it, this is how he fell asleep on the couch and I couldn't resist.

A Monkey & A Witch

For Trick or Treating this year Makenna decided she wanted to be  a Witch and since Robbie is such a little Monkey I found a costume that suited him perfectly!
Makenna also had a party at school on Wednesday afternoon, I went to school to help out and we made monsters and vampires our of rice crispy treats. They all got dressed up and then paraded from room to room, had lots of snacks and got treat bags to take home.
Trick or Treating went good and Robbie quickly got the jest of it and each time the car would stop he would yell..."Done...Bag,,, Candy!!!"  It was so cute and of course he wanted to eat it all right now!

Halloween Fun

Halloween...

Despite the cooler weather I do like fall and am a fan of Halloween. This year we went with some friends to a new corn maze near our home. They also had a barn full of things for the kids to do, hay bales for them to play on and a petting zoo. Robbie saw the corn and was sure that he needed to eat his way through the maze! He chewed on a cob of corn for most of the time and if he saw another cob he tried to carry that as well. It was too cute.

I will eat my way through this maze!

Oh NO a Head!
