Recently...


We ate the 2nd best pizza in the world so far.  (Jake's will always have our #1 spot).  We found Randy's Pizza completely by accident one afternoon.  It is so good and worth the drive to Oakdale.  Not only did we love the pizza, but we got a tour of the kitchen and some great conversation based on the fact that we could speak the same language (such as "sheeter").  If we're staying in town we'll stick to Spiral but you must try this place at some point.  


Nathan has started classes "at school".  He joins 9 other girls once a week to sing songs, eat a snack, create art, learn to listen, and have some structured play time.  He's a big fan.  I have only had to remove him once for a time out in the hallway for throwing a tantrum and chucking his play-doh across the room.  Nathan is teaching us a whole new perspective in the parenting job.  



Jacob is learning to read and write and is loving school.  He takes his job very seriously although his favorite part of the day is play time.  




Sarah and I enjoyed a beautiful fall day with a bike ride followed by dinner.  Nathan and Lydia were quite well-behaved.  You never know what you'll get when you put these two stinkers together.  


Gwendolyn and Nathan had fun jumping in the bean bags and playing silly games.  Tom was away for business and we got to spend some time with Doug, Lin and 3/4 of the Barntsen family.  


Mark and Sue celebrated their 41st wedding anniversary!


Scott and Nikki got to attend a wedding and have a night without the kiddos thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Sinclair.  It was a beautiful wedding and we had fun.  Right up until 9:00 pm when we fell asleep watching TV and slept until 7:30 am.  Hmm.  We are SO fun!


Mike, Sarah and Lydia also attended the wedding.  I am pretty sure Lydia danced longer than I did.  


Grandma and Grandpa Sinclair kept Jacob and Nathan busy in Charles City with the Homecoming parade, snuggling during a thunderstorm, feeding the ducks and filling bird feeders, playing toys, the farmer's market and getting all of Jacob's homework and art projects done.  

Whew!  As I sit here looking out on this October afternoon I am watching the leaves cover up our green grass.  It's time to get out the hat, scarf and rake.  Fall is officially here!  

Thanks for checking in and have a wonderful week.

Since going gluten free a good pizza is definitely what I miss most. Drooling over that photo.
And I had to laugh at your comment about the wedding and being in bed at 9:00 falling asleep watching TV. When Darin and I were in Chicago we went out for supper at 5:00 and were back in the hotel room by 9:00 and falling asleep watching TV. How old are we? 60?
