Happy 23rd Birthday Logan!!!

 My baby boy is 23! Happy Birthday Logan!!

60 degrees on Nov 4th!

 I'll take a nice 60 degree day in November! I plan to mulch up the leaves. We have a lot as most of the trees are almost done dropping. 

The trees all seemed extra colorful this year and hung on to the leaves longer. 

Now comes the clean up! I'll try mulching most and then bag up the ones that are on the road. That's the project for this nice weather afternoon. 

I have plenty of  indoor projects to get to this winter. Go thought the pantry and always organize all the rooms and purge. 

This week is Logan and Kendra's birthdays. A busy birthday week. We'll do a family dinner on Sunday. I'll make a cake and chicken lettuce wraps. 

I have a few gifts left to buy and need 4 birthday cards for this month all the birthdays. December there is another 3 family members with birthdays too and then we wait till feb for Celina's birthday. It's a lot with the holidays too. 

I've been on a running streak. Day #15 of running a mile and doing 15 min total of run/walk at the end. Along with lifting weights at least 5 days a week. Dieting took a bit of a hit the last few days. Got to get back and control calories once again. Week #3 

Happy Halloween 2025

 

Celina's 1/2 Marathon, Hot Cider Hustle.

 We all went to cheer on Celina and Mady run the 1/2 marathon in Bloomington. 

I hope it was a record!!

 We rode the light rail from MOA to Mpls. That was a great idea to get to downtown! $4 each which was a great deal considering we didn't have to deal with finding parking! 

We arrived right at the protest area as the light rail dropped us off sooo close by in Mpls near the US bank Stadium. 

Made our posters. 

Stood around and read others signs and took in all the costumes. 

Some better then others!

Two of my favorite signs of the day!

The protesters!! 

After the walk started to move, very slowly... we decided we'd been there long enough and left to get food and drinks along the way home on the light rail. 

Kansas City, MO!!

 The three of us had a nice time in Kansas City Mo and Kansas City Kansas. 

Logan was able to join us this last weekend of nice weather 80's of camping. 

We camped at Smithville Mo park right next to the water. The campground wasn't  very busy since it was October which was nice! Large camping area too. 110 was our spot for future reference. 

The lake/ reserve 

We saw skunk, deer, raccoons and heard owls, and coyote. We also had a large praying mantis on our tent top that changed color from bright green to gray/brown.
