festival of trees
We just finished with our first craft fair. There were about 150 vendors. It was a lot of work but I think worthwhile. We perfected our sales technique, when we noticed that when you greeted lookers with a hello, most would quickly move on. Most preferred to look in silence..proof that we were in Northern MN! We sold burpies, hats, and hair stuff. I am excited to put the glue gun away for a while though!

There are boy ladybugs!!
We took ty to the church's annual fall fest yesterday. I couldn't resist the costume. Luke said he was a boy so he couldn't be a ladybug. I informed him that there are plenty of male ladybugs. Ty looked so cute and was a hit with all the kids! He is sitting here...something he learned at obedience school along with come, heal, turn, stay and we taught him to shake and give five. He is learning, and most nights he does better than all the big collies and labs. Hopefully he does well tonight at class...I won't make him wear the ladybug costume!

gettin in trouble
This is what happens when you leave your crocheting project on the couch for a bit!:)
Kids at Minnesota Youth Convention
We took a group of 16 kids to Minnesota Youth Convention in Rochester this last weekend. It was encouraging to see them worshiping getting into the speakers. They loved the Tom Bach band and the comedians. Everyone behaved well and all went smoothly. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I think it was the best year yet!

hiding
Our little Ty loves to find a pile of blankets to make his nest in. I thought he looked so cute here, he just blended into everything. So cute!

First pregnancy education night
Info night with the girls. I met with 5 other friends from church who are also pregnant for dinner at the Brewhouse. After dinner we headed to a birthing options information night. There were booths and classes on all the many birthing options. There were midwives, and doulas, and BROCHURES GALORE! It was very informative and not too overwhelming. I got lucky and won a series of pregnancy yoga classes! They had classes on infant massage and home birth vs hospital and birth stories. Very fun!
applefest
We had a chance to go to the bayfield apple fest this weekend. We have been trying to go for the last couple of years and finally made it this year. It was so fun even though it was a little chilly. It was a beautiful fall drive to such a cute town. We sampled apple goodies and listened to a bluegrass band. My favorite was the grilled corn and luke liked the apple squares. I hope we can make it next year!

Artsy afternoon
We spent Sunday afternoon with the Olsons at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Luke was in heaven. He loves history and looking at old things. We left him in the dust as he likes to read every word about every item. My favorite was a beautiful quilt, and a painting that looked just like a chalkboard with scribbles (click on picture to see other photos). We hope to go back soon!
