Just a funny

When Brian was gone one evening, I went to look for something on our DVR to watch and the show that was listed right under "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" caught my eye. I had to stop and ponder if Brian was getting tired of the current female in the house and was looking to replace her. :)

It must be Santa

Nathan met Santa for the first time ever at the Sauder Center in Madison! We thought we'd have to wait awhile for our turn, but Nathan was able to walk right up to him and he was more than happy to sit on Santa's lap and tell him what he wants for Christmas (which happens to be a blue New Holland tractor and we have reliable sources that tell us that he will be getting one of them in the near future).

Outside time

Nathan's favorite thing to do is still play outside. When I got home the other evening, he insisted on going out, even though it was chilly. Brian has hauled in some dirt and Nathan loves to use his rake, shovel, and hoe to move it around.

Boxes are Fun

Nathan had a whole lot of fun playing with this empty box the other day.

O Christmas Tree

Brian went out and cut down a tree for us to decorate. Nathan had so much fun decorating it! And he is getting really excited about the presents that are gradually showing up under the tree.

Oh deer...

Last Sunday Nathan and I went up to Emporia around 4pm. We left Empora at dusk and on the way home I ran right into a buck. Thankfully neither Nathan or I were hurt. And, thankfully, Brian was able to come pick us up very quickly. But, we are now one week past the accident and we are still waiting to get approval for repairs from the insurance company.

A Great Weekend

We have had a wonderful weekend. Saturday morning was spent cleaning the house. And then, after Nathan's nap, he and I joined up with Leslie, Juneau, and Grandma Hind at the Madison Fall Festival where we went trick-or-treating.

Here is Nathan checking out his loot:

And then the day ended with us going out and watching Brian combine at the Home Place. Nathan then got to go on a combine ride.

This morning we put up three of the pumpkins that Brian grew in our garden. And, since I had a whole bag of Jonathan apples, I decided to make a batch of apple butter. Needless to say the kitchen smells awesome right now!
