halloween, callings, and talking about weather!
Okay! No more mushy stuff.
I have talked my girls (mostly Elle) into bagging Halloween this year!! I told them that we would go to the movies instead of dressing up and knocking on strangers doors and begging for candy. I told them that I would split up the candy I have bought to hand out to kids with them instead and that way they would get a boat load of candy but not have to get cold and we could go do something fun in a warm building! Emma was into that because we she doesn't trick or treat any more and she saw that she was going to get a bag full of candy and a movie! I am so proud of myself for getting out of trick or treating.
I have had a very busy week getting ready for my Relief Society Retreat that we held last Saturday. It was very successful and everyone enjoyed themselves very much. I was called into the Bishop's office yesterday and given a new calling....You will have to tune in to find out what it is. I have been moved around a lot in this ward not holding a calling for very long. We will see how long this new calling will last. Can you guess what the calling is???
This is a really sad story....I went walking this morning and the last 100 yards felt as though I need to get to a bathroom (my stomach didn't hurt but I felt the need to find a toilet) the sad part was that my next door neighbor was outside waiting to catch the bus and she wanted to have a nice neighborly talk! Well this wasn't going to due...after about 30 seconds talking about the weather and feeling the urge to poop swell within my bum I ran into my house and ALMOST made it but not quite. Oh well that is the fun in my life!! Close doesn't count when you are talking about poop.

Fall Activities
This is a sunset at the golf course we played at over our anniversary. It was a beautiful ending to a wonderful day!
Scott and I spent the weekend of our anniversary in the cities. We had a blast exploring down town Minneapolis and golfing. I love my anniversary!
Tanner had a birthday this fall and is now 17!! He is still just a little boy at heart though as he plays with his pet snake finally given a name "snake". He is preparing to apply to schools soon and so we will all be holding our breath as we wait to see which school he will be attending next year.
Emma with her horse Zan. Emma placed 2nd and 3rd in a couple of the horse show competitions. The girls both learned how to handle and ride horses this summer and had a wonderful time. Tanner thinks that Emma makes a very good "cowgirl".
Elle is standing by her horse Miss Muffy. The girls had their end of the season horse show the last weekend in Sept. Elle won a couple of ribbons that day. She really enjoyed her summer of horse riding and is now saving her money to buy her very own horse!...But where will she keep it? ....maybe in her bedroom!

Getting Ready For Winter Means No More Golf
Lets see....what should I blog about today??? Today Scott made a comment to me about golf. He said that he wanted to go this weekend (we have gone for the last 4 weekends) and he was mad that he has made a commitment to do something else because now he can't have a golf day. I told him it was okay it is a good thing to do other things especially if they involve your kids! Then he sadly reminded me that this is the last weekend he may have to golf before winter hits Minnesota. It is such a long winter here that we will not be golfing until at least next May. I have to say I felt a twinge of sadness for Scott but overall I am actually sad that we are going into a long winter and more then missing the golf I am going to miss spending time with Scott. Scott and I have been spending 4-6 hours together every Saturday and it has been so wonderful. I hope that we can find something else to bring us together the way golf has this winter because it is different when you are home and all the stuff of home seems to get in the way of the one on one time together. Hopefully we will have one more weekend left in Oct. where we can get out and hit some balls and spend some time together before we have to settle down for a long winters nap!
