Blueberry Monster

Jack has recently taken a liking to blueberries. He turns into a purple monster when he eats them, with blueberrie juice running down his chin and chest. When all the berries are gone I am left with a purple stained boy who always needs a bath! It's a challenge getting him out of his chair to the bath without getting a purple handprint to the face or shirt!

September Long: A Lake Adventure

So our Sept. long begins a bit rocky. On our drive up to the lake we got a flat time...in Wadena(the town our car broke down last time). Adam changed the tire in the rain in his teacher clothes and we drove the rest of the way on a doughnut going 80. When we finally arrived at the lake Adam and I both had a stiff drink and were ready for a great weekend!

There was a big crowd out at the lake. Adam's parents, two aunts, an uncle, cousins, and grandma. My parents,Jamie, Ryan and baby Ted were supposed to come out, but my dad fell through the sunroom roof(in the process of redoing the roof). He fell about ten feet, landing in the middle of the sunroom, his drill spearing into a chair a foot away from his head. He hurt his shoulder with so far unknown injuries, he is okay, but his painting hand is out of commision for a while. Jamie and baby Edward got colds, so no one from my family came down and it was a Williams Weekend.

Despite cold weather we had a great weekend! Adam, Stephanie, Aryn, and I built up the courage to jump off the dock Saturday night. It was very cold, but it was really fun and well worth it(they threw me the shampoo and I had my washing for the weekend)

Jack went on his first boat ride! He loved it and was humming along with the motor, which eventually put him right to sleep. I didn't even realize he had fallen asleep as the life jacket was so puffy around his face it supported his sleeping head upright.

! Jack also had his first quad and tricycle ride this weekend, both of which he loved

The cabin is all packed up for the winter, we wish we had more summer left to spend out there, but we know that next year will be a blast.
