Once again, this past week has kept us on our toes. Last Sunday, we went to a farm place of a family from our church and had an evening of fall fun. There was pumpkin painting, a hayride, supper with apple cider and hot chocolate, and trap shooting for the adults. The kids had a blast, and they especially enjoyed the hayride. As soon as we left, Emma wanted to know when the next hayride would be. It was pretty adorable. Both kids also painted pumpkins, and had a lot of fun with that.
The work week flew by pretty quickly. I ended up working about 47 hours last week (yuck) and John was really busy with work and photo editing, so the nights just flew by in a hurry.
On Wednesday evening, there was a special screening of a Martin Luther movie at the Century 7 Theatre here in town. So, John and I and a bunch of people from church went to go see it. This year is the 500 year anniversary of the Reformation, so that is the reason for this new movie being shown. It was a pretty good movie, it got kinda long towards the end, but it was good. The kids stayed home with Grandma Barb, which was awesome, since they would have been a nightmare at the movie theatre.
On Friday evening, we packed up and headed out to go to Minnesota for the weekend. We rescheduled Kyle's Senior Photos (for a third time) for this past weekend. It actually rained again on Saturday, so John shot his photo this morning.
On Saturday, since the weather was pretty rainy, we packed up the kids and went to Mankato for part of the day. Rachel and Elena met us at Applebee's, and we all had a nice lunch together. Then, we took the kids to Bounce town for a couple hours so the kids could wear off some of their endless energy. Emma and Elliott had a really good time and played really, really hard. We hit up Schmidt's Meat Market on the way home, and then called it a day and headed back to my parent's house. After all the running around, it was nice to just hang out and relax, and spend some time together.
Today was a pretty busy day for a Sunday. John shot some senior photos this morning, while Mom and I watched all the kids at home. Dad and Ryan are busy with harvest, so the kids got a combine ride this morning, and they loved that. Then, pretty much immediately after dinner, we had to hit the road and get back to Sioux Falls so John could shoot some family photos back here in town. Whew, busy day.
Once we got home, it was really nice out, so the kids and I raked up some leaves, and they had a good time jumping, throwing, and diving into the leave piles. It was pretty cute and they had a really fun time. We spent a good chunk of the evening outside wearing off some energy, and now both kids are sleeping soundly in their beds. I am savoring the peace and quiet. :)
