We are trying something new this year with the kids. Each month we take a school night and take the kids on a kid date. The first time I took EB and we ate dinner at Biaggi's and then shopped with a gift card she had received for her birthday from Toys R Us. We had such a good time. We had so many giggles over dinner. We talked about how old she could be before she could date and I made a joke that she at least had to have boobs. To which she promptly blushed and said "mom you cannot talk about boobs in a nice restaurant!" It was priceless! Brandon took Grant golfing and then to Avantis. It was such a good time we did it again in September, but switched date partners. Brandon took Elizabeth fishing and then to Mexican for dinner. They had all kinds of fish stories! I took Grant to play mini golf at the recently re-opened course in Washington. The best part of our night was our conversation at dinner when he was trying to describe a toy he likes to play with at pre-school. We were having quite the language barrier. I asked him to draw a picture, I guessed over and over and over again before we finally agreed that this toy was called a boogie board. I informed him that was toy you play with at the beach. He kept arguing so I finally googled it. Guess what, there is a toy called a boogie board. Of course next to the image of this LED tablet writing device was a picture of a boogie board at the beach! So fun! October has now come and passed and we will have to schedule a date night for November because we all enjoy them.

| This is a tree post tornado. I had to explain that the path of the tornado went right through the golf course and this is a tree that lived, but had many broken branches. It still makes me sad to see all of our town's "tornado trees" |
