Some of this and that

This past weekend we had a bit going on. The kids and I went up to the farm late Friday and all the butchering of hogs was done. It was an early bedtime because we were out the door at 7am to head to Jamestown for Hannah's first dance Comp of the year. They did a good job but didn't place. Then we dropped Hannah off at her sewing/quilting class and we heading back to the farm for some stuffing and packaging. The maple links and sausage was sooo good! We worked until 5pm and then made supper, watched a movie and off to bed. Sunday we picked right back up with packaging and we finished it all. The kids were big helpers on Sunday. Hunter was bored Sat. being the only kid there, so he helped where he could and then took the camera and took pictures of everything. It kept him busy. It was a good weekend.

See, they do love eachother!!

So, there are a few pics to share. Hunter had a Tae Kwon Do festival last weekend. He got 3rd place for his patterns, a 1st place for speed kicking and ribbons and metals to go along with them. I will post a pic of him all dressed up with all his trophies. Hannah helped with a pancake breakfast last weekend also. She was the "Terrific Kid" for the month of Nov. and all the kids were asked to come help out. We went and ate, it was yummy. Ryan was teaching Carter how to play guitar. He was catching on really well.

The weekend and more

We had a fun weekend. Carter wasn't feeling so well, but we still had fun. Sat. the boys got much needed hair cuts, then we went to the Ceramic Haus and they painted a figure. We had lunch and played. Hannah and hunter also had friends over. We always have other kids over playing. Sat. night supper was our traditional Manicotti supper followed by baths and p.j.'s and then a family movie and snacks. Kids were in bed by 9pm and shortly afterwards, Ryan and I followed. Sunday we had steak and eggs for breakfast and headed to Fargo for fun and lunch at Space Aliens. Good food and a fun time.

This, that and the weekend

I have included some pics from earlier in the week and from the weekend. We went to the farm Friday to butcher, to my surprise, it was all done by the time I got up there Friday night, so we had the weekend to play.

What did the weekend hold for us???

We had a very fun weekend. We took the kids swimming on Sat. The water was warm! It felt really nice. Sat. night's when we have the kids here, we have come up with a tradition we do every Sat. night. I make manicotti for supper (they all love it), and we have family movie night. We all sit down and watch a movie and eat snacks. This past Sat. or snacks were...carrots and dip, chips and dip, a zebra cake for each child, pretzels, meat and cheese and other flavors of chips. We had an extra kid this time. Hannah's friend Kasie was over. She is a sweet girl and we love having her over.
Sunday we went over to Tracy and Barry's house and had lunch and the kids played Wii for a bit. Then it was off to Fargo for alittle bit of shopping and a visit to TCBY. then it was time to drop Carter off and head for home. The week begins, and it will be a busy one around here.

The water was almost green and there was a haze in the air. BUT, it was warm and that's all that matters to me.

Bring a friend night

Thurs. was bring a friend night at Tae Kwon Do. Hunter brought his friend Max. They had fun! I didn't snap many pics because I didn't want to be disruptive.
