A Post for Papa...
Well Papa, this one is for you! Caroline and I were making meatballs and gravy today and had a wonderful conversation all about you :)
Seeing as she looks every inch of her German heritage I'm determined to make sure that she can at least cook like an Italian!
While Caroline was whipping up dinner I asked her how she knew her Papa loved her and do you know what she said? "Because he kisses me and tickles me with his moustache!" I also asked her what she thought was the best thing about her Papa...."he LOVES cookies!" Gotcha!

Just another Thursday night
Well, we are crafting...again. I was hoping to save this project for tomorrow but once Caroline gets her craft materials she just can't wait. I am getting tired of constantly buying canvas for the kids to paint on so I took Caroline on a little trip to ReStore to purchase some tiles. For 10 cents a tile she can paint her little heart out. By the way Nana, I think these are for you~lucky girl :)
I also picked up 2 tiles and figured I would try a little Halloween project. (Oops, the broom is still a bit wet!)
Connor informed me last night that there are WAY more pictures of Caroline on here, so here you go Buddy, these are just for you.

Get Lost!
And that's just what we did at the corn maze yesterday! This is the maze and we found our way out in just 24 minutes..pretty impressive!
All the kids had a great time; here's Caroline on the cow train!
Even Connor got on the train....
Caroline and Meghan on the slide. I think they must have gone down this 100 times!
And this is what Connor did over and over again. The best part was watching Dad and Mr. Joe try and race him around the track, too bad I didn't get a picture of that!
All the girls in the corn box. They had this in a teepee~how cool!
On the hayride.
They even had pig races (a first for us).
We had a wonderful day, thank you Joe and Amy for letting us tag along!
