Yay for Eggs!

Look at this sweet most of the time little girl! She's in her cute new outfit, holding a cute little basket...

What's that you say? What's in her basket?
Why, it's fresh eggs from our chickens!

I found out first egg on 10/23, quite a long time after we thought they would start laying. I was so excited!
Sadly, Princess died this weekend (still not sure what happened), so we are down to 6 hens and 1 rooster. So, we could have up to 6 eggs a day!

Halloween- a little late!

We had a blast this Halloween.

We had our parties at school on Friday, and then did fun things over the weekend, like "candy corn" finger nails..
We had "spooky" pancakes..

We got to see our favorite little cowboy..

We had fun dressing up as Rapunzel, Iron Man, Pickachu, and a Transformer! We went trick or treating after a delicious supper at Grandma's!

Adult Fall Camping Trip

Last weekend we went on our annual "Adults Only Fall Camping Trip." We usually go with my SIL & BIL and my other SIL. This year, BFF and Mr. BFF joined us! We had a great time and can't wait to do it again next year!
We have lots of little shops in little towns that we love to visit. One of the places is a cute little flower shop that is always decked out for Christmas when we're there. Love it! I bought some jewelry and some beautiful snowflakes to hang in our windows this winter. They had this adorable truck next to the shop!
Another one of our fav. spots- Leeland. BFF and Mr. BFF looking cute as ever..
"Fish Town"
SIL in all her cuteness..
SIL and BIL...
Another one of our favorite spots- coffee/candy shop. Plus they had these great rocking benches that we loved.
Our visit to the lighthouse.
We did lots of hiking..
SIL, BIL, The Hubs, Mr. BFF decided to climb down (and back up) a HUGE dune at "Sleeping Bear Dunes." SIL, BFF, and I thought they were crazy and sat in the car!
What a great weekend!

It's been awhile!

Well, I took a loooooong blogging hiatus! I needed a break, nobody reads it anyway , and life just got crazy busy!

We're back to school:


We have our house up for sale. We've been thinking about it for awhile now and decided to take the plunge and list it. We are waiting to see what God has planned for us. We may end up staying at this house, or we may end up moving.

The triplets all lost a tooth the same evening! It was so weird. The tooth fairy was very busy that night!



Our chickens are finally laying eggs. (Well at least 2 of them!) This is our first egg!



Of course, this is IG's interpretation of what happened:
Don't you just love the "sparkling" egg she drew?

Camping

We just "upgraded" to a new camper. (well, new to us!) We made our "Maiden Voyage" this past weekend. We had a blast, and great weather!

Our new camper:
We love it, because it has a "bunkhouse" in the back for the kids. It's so much bigger than our other camper! BFF and fam got a new camper too, so it was an exciting weekend! My parents even surprised us and came camping too!
We did "fun" nails...
Tried a new campfire dessert....
and attempted to get rid of some training wheels...
What a great weekend!

Yee Haw!

We went to the Double JJ on Saturday. The hubs work usually treats us to MI Adventure, but decided to try something different this year.

IG and I have been having a ton of fun doing our nails lately, so of course we needed to do them for the occasion.
We went on pony rides...
They played for a LONG time in the "Jail." The Hubs and I discussed making our playhouse into one of these. Is it disturbing that our children LOVED playing in there? I think so.

We also did crafts in the "Craft Barn."
We also fed the animals, which IG would like to take home, and went on a hay ride.
