Use the Knockulars to find the boy deer

Well, the hunting season is officially here (sigh...). We've been very busy here at the Fry house, but that's been fun. Macy and Jorey got their flu shots yesterday. Jorey also got a few other immunizations and then had double ear infection. Dad had to take them for the first time to get shots and he didn't think that was the most fun activity. :) I was not sad that I wouldn't have to witness the tears.
The other day, Macy and I were building a big tower when she started talking "knockulars". Fortunately, I was able to capture all of her words of wisdom.

Have a great week!

Runnin' in the rain...Runnin' in the rain!

First, in logging in to put this entry in, I noticed that I wrote that Macy had a dirty "BUT" from scooting off the slide. I don't know why I caught that immediately but would like to note that I'm fully aware of the correct spelling of "butt". (in case anyone was wondering)

Now onto some business...

Two weekends ago, Amy ran her little heart out at the Twin Cities Marathon. What a trooper. It poured the whole first hour and we even wanted to cancel our trip there, but knew that it was important to support her...especially if she had to run with soggy feet in the pouring rain. When we got there, it was pouring. We almost missed her. Ken asked, "What's she wearing?" and I started telling him what she said she'd wear and then she went flying past us. What a speed demon.

The girls enjoyed it. Jorey didn't want to sit still and Macy just loved using her Dora umbrella. She also thought running through the pouring rain was pretty fun.

Jorey just thought running around non-stop was pretty cool.

Granny Fry was trying to figure out why the photos were blurry...a mystery I hope was solved.

Then, this past weekend, we enjoyed Heidi's wedding shower. She's getting married Nov 14th and we're all in the wedding. It could be very interesting. :) At the shower, she had a lot of help from Piper, Mia, and Macy to open every gift.

A Dirty Bum, A Rat, and The Witch!

A couple weekends ago, we went to a new park. It was a little bit wet that morning and we got there pretty early because we just had to get out of the house. We were playing along and while I was helping Jorey play on one of the toys, Macy went down a straight, big slide. She flew down it so fast, she shot off the end and landed right on her butt. We laughed so hard. Then, she had a wet dirty but and gave me the ole booty shake for a picture.

She digs her Strawberry Shortcake shades. Jorey likes them, too, so it does create a conflict every now and then.
Last weekend, the girls hung at yellow Papa and Gramma's house while we went to a baseball game. We arrived home to Macy sitting out int he front yard with this git-up...that's her father's daughter, there.
Then, on Saturday this past weekend, we attended Pumpkin days out at John and Rhonda Kath's farm. We went with orange gramma. It was pretty cool. The girls got to see all sorts of "heeeeheeeheee" horses, "keey" kitties, "quack" ducks, and even went on a hay ride...pulled by "heeeeheeeheee" horses.
We hung out with Great Papa Eddie and Gramma Kay. There were also many other family members and friends out there.

But then, when we walked over for our photo opp with the witch, Jorey nearly had a heart attack. She was set on the witch, (Carol's) lap. Macy was unscathed by her witchy appearance, but Jorey hadn't even looked at her. When we set her up there, she slowly looked around, checked things out and then...she looked up...and...

she immediately screamed in fear. It's not appropriate to laugh when your children are scared half-to-death, but I did. :)

Then, we went to Orange Papa and Gramma's for some of Papa's freshly grown apples.
