Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving, we had a good time. We had about 35 people at our house for dinner. We had awesome food and lots of cards and entertainment.
The meal was fabulous, everyone brought something to share. We did the turkeys, mashed potatoes, gravy, dressing, and some salads. Everyone else brought other things to go with the main meal. Needless to say we had plenty of food! Thnks everyone for all your help with preparation, clean up and serving. We had a pinochle tournament and guess who won??????? yep, it was Paul. Woo hoo, he is getting the hang of it, maybe I will be his partner now.
I have already started a little baking, with a little more to go. We have made cut-out frosted cookies, peanut blossoms, truffles and peanut clusters. I still want to make a chocolate chex mix, caramel rice krispie marshmallows (they looks so good, thanks Jen for the recipe) and a snowman cake.
I have about half of my shopping left to do. I have ordered my Christmas card and they should arrive any day. I feel like I am ahead of the game, but time always seems to slip away from me, so I need to keep ahead.
This week, I need to wrap presents, pack and finish my baking. We are heading to Minnesota for the weekend. It is our nephew Max's birthday, so we are going to celebrate and see family. I want to leave all our present for them there, so I need to be ready.
I will post pictures of our weekend later!
see ya soon

STUFF
hello all
I have been kind of busy and forgot to post lately!!!!! Where does the time go. We started out with parent teacher conferences. I am always so nervous for conferences, I am not sure why, but I do not like to go. It is hard to hear any bad things your child does and some teachers forget to mention the good. Oh well, I cannot say I have ever had a really bad conference, so lets keep praying we never do. Will was first this year. This was a different conference because we had to see a lot of teachers. Everyone had very good things to say about Will. They all mentioned that he needs to slow down on his work. Which we hear ALL of the time. Will's teachers said that he is very polite and very nice to his classmates. That made us feel very good to hear. Jack had a good conference also. Jack's main problem is that he talks to much. I am sure we will always hear that about Jack. He needs to learn when it is ok to talk. Jack is a very good reader and scored way above average in his reading scores. School comes easier for Jack. Will has to study to earn his grades, where Jack seems to "get it" much quicker.
This past weekend I headed to Fargo for a Girls Scrapbooking weekend. I don't think I have laughed that much in a very long time. I went with Lori, Cassie, Jodi and LeAnne. We scrapbooked on Friday, Sat and a little bit on Sunday. It was so much fun. I did more laughing and visiting then scrapbooking but I did manage to get 13 pages done. I am proud to announce that I am finished with 2004. YEAH!!!!! I am on a roll now.
Paul and the boys are going to Minot today to cheer for the Linton Lady Lions. Our volleyball team is going to state for the first time ever!!!!! Cheers to all the girls and hope they have an awesome time at state. Lets play hard! I will post later on the games.
We are having thanksgiving in Linton this year. Paul's family is going to come down for dinner and games and cards. We are very excited to have everyone here. It has been about 5 years since we hosted a holiday. The boys are so excited to have their cousins come. We will have about 35 people at our house for dinner. We also invited Lori, Nolan and Karady for dinner. They both have to be on call, so they have to stay in town for the holiday.
No school thursday and Friday for the boys because of state volleyball. They love a break.
thanks for checking in on us. I will post again soon

Happy Halloween
Will, Jack and Charlie
Jack as a skeleton
Will as a Minnesota Wild hockey player
Charlie as a lionWe had a fun time on halloween. The boys love to go trick or treating. We left home at about 5:30pm and got back at about 9:00pm. They were all very tired and full of candy. We went trick or treating with Lori and Karady. Karady was a very cute ladybug! She loved the candy too. I am amazed at how much candy the boys got. They each filled a Target bag full of candy and that is not counting the pop and juice bags they got. The dentist is going to love this! I love getting the boys dressed up and watching them, but otherwise halloween is not my favorite holiday. It is definately for the kids. It is way too much candy. They usually forget about it after a week or so. The weather was nice, probably abougt 50' when we started, but as the night went on it did get a little windy. No one seemed to mind though.
thanks for chatting.
