Happy Halloween!!

It's Halloween. Everyone around me is anticipating a fun filled night of dressing up, going out and having fun tonight! Even around campus today, students are walking around in costumes - pretty festive.

Not me, I plan on staying home, cleaning a messy house, reading and maybe having a glass of vino or two. Went out for wings last night with the family, I pigged out on the teriyaki - - oh man were they good!! Still feel full today.

Happy Halloween to all!! Have a safe one.

Videos.....

I really like this video!! It reminds me of when my kids were this age, always sitting on the rocker recliner together - I have some really cute videos of them.

Anyway....last night I go into my son's room and here's his girlfriend putting in one of these videos, she turned it on and there they were...Emma and Gary when they were 1 and 4, Gary was toddling around at Christmas time, climbing on the presents instead of opening them and Emma talking in a little cartoon voice concentrating on opening presents.

Petra happened to find all of the old videos under the entertainment center and dug them out to watch! She's getting a big enjoyment out of watching Gary as a baby! She thinks he's pretty cute.

It was funny, there's one clip where he's following me around saying 'maammmmaa' holding his little arms out wanting me to pick him up as I was recording him. Another one where I have the poor little guy dressed in a colorful leotard with bright pink ruffles and a pony tail on top of his head.

While we were watching last night, he decided to 'run into town'! I think it was weird for him sitting there while we were laughing about how cute they were when they were babies.

Saturday morning...

This is what I woke up to this morning, opened the blinds and they were staring at me, mouths full of grass! Two little yearlings that've been hanging around the area lately, there's another one too - a little spiked buck - but he's pretty elusive. I scared him up the other morning by the garage.

The other evening as I was sitting at the computer, I felt like someone/thing was looking at me and I looked out the window and there's one of these little guys looking directly at me, his head was over the edge of the deck. I was a little startled. Of course I didn't have the camera ready. That's another story, I still have to figure out the settings to take better pictures.

In the first picture, you can see the little nubs of an impending buck!! Well, I watched these two for a while until the CAT came running out from the front yard and scared them both into the woods.

Grandma/Grandpa's dinner....

Here's the food! Looks pretty delish uh? Makes me hungry just looking at these pics. The thousand island dressing is awesome!! It's spicy, but a really good spicy. I was going to lick that dish, I sure was tempted too - I would've if I was at home!

And the seaweed wrapped bass - was pretty good - a little on the rich side. Nothing beats good old walleye!! They should change it to seaweed wrapped walleye.

The Group!

Like that nice pic of Ange Pange? She's striking a pose and grandpa's studying the menu.

Ok, so here we all are, we were seated in another waitress' section because Emma's was full, we had to kindly tell her we already have a waitress!! Ha, I think she's in the background in one of the pics. Yes she is, at least she managed to get in both pictures.

The Hostess and the Waitress....

A couple of pics from last weekend. Emma workin hard for the money!! She really did work hard that night too, she was all over the place, working her section on the other side of the restaurant and serving us in the bar. She was a little overwhelmed I'd say, but she did good.

And Jamie in her hostess mode, she's a good hostess too!!

Nona's Birthday Night!

We all had a really good day - Jamie had a nice dinner for the bday girl and family including Jame's in-laws. It was nice seeing BJ's mom, gram/gramp and I think that was his aunt. And the foooooooood - was awesome.

I wish I had more pictures from lite dinner we all had afterwards at Sparkling Waters!! Those are on Grandma's camera.

These pics were taken after Sparkling Waters, we were at Cattails. Had a good night! How about ole Don in that one pic....looks just happy or something.
