Caramel Apple Pie......

This pie was so yummy that I ened up making two of them. I used apples that I got from my grandma and the apple combination was delicious. We were able to enjoy both pies with friends, which makes desert even sweeter.

Kitted Hat.....
This is my first hat for this season. It was one that I had started last year, but never finished. I'm not sure who will get it, but it will go in my gift bin.

Went for a Drive.......
Yesterday afternoon we decided to take a drive to Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. It's about an hour and 10 minute drive from our house and is located right off of Lake Winnebago. We went up to the top of this light house, but the kids got really scared. So, we were only up on the top for a few seconds before they were all ready to come down.

We also enjoyed walking the trails, watching the geese & ducks, and probably the most fun for the kids was playing at the park. What kid doesn't like playing at the park?

We also took our beagle Ruby with use and she had a fun time walking and sniffing the ground.

The last place we stoped at before we headed home was the Goodwill store. The retail worker told me that they are rated one of the top stores in the area. They had lots of brand new items with tags and new in the box. Some of the items were over priced, but many of the items were awesome deals. I got 3 new items of clothing for $1.50 each and two of them were new with tags. I would love to go back sometime to look, but without kids.

Well I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. I have been working on several knitting projects and when I have a chance to take some pictures I'll share with you all what I have been working on. Until then have a blessed week:)

Daddy & the Kids.......
The kids were all piled on daddy's lap the other day, so I had to grab my camera and take a pick.

Fire Station Day......
About a week ago the fire station in town had an open house. The kids were all excited about it. They had a chance to ride a fire truck......

shoot water out of the fire hose......

bounce in the inflatable castle they had set up and see lots of firemen equipment. It was a great day for it. Warm and sunny:)

New Bench......
I picked this little bench up for free a little over a month ago. The colors of it were pink and purple and we had it up in Anna's room for a while. I should of taken a picture of it, but I forgot. It is now a nice green color, which looks nice in the entry way. The seat of this little bench lifts up and there is great storage for kids's shoes, socks, mittens, and scarfs.

I have to say I love it and so do the kids.

Anna's New Bag......

The kids started Awana's a couple of weeks ago and in Cubbies the kids have a bag to bring there book in. Well Anna is now in Sparks and I thought she needed a bag to use to take her book in, so I made this for her this past week. She loves it and it was so much fun to make.
