Baking weekend....

This past weekend, while the uncles were working, the Sletto aunts and cousins got together at Grammie Sue and Grandpa Terry's house for a good time! We made two batches of lefse, yummy applebutter, chokecherry jelly, homemade applesauce and of course new recipes were tried for feeding the troops:-)!!!

Soren spent the first 24hrs watching all the cousins play as he ran a temp of >102....thankfully no one else got sick and he recovered quickly!

Many, many games (outside and inside) were played, books read and just plain fun was had!

The 'little' kids played hard!!

Modified PJ's

As I was putting Soren to bed tonite, I got out the first 'footy' pj's of the season. He tried them on and said, "Look mom, these ones have shoes on them!" He went to bed smiling....gotta love it!

Pumpkins & Pizza

Today the Daniel family joined us for some good old pumpkin carving and yummy pizza. Since both of the daddies were working it was a great way to spend the afternoon. Soren wasn't to sure about the 'guts' of the pumpkin when the Daniel family were here but sure dug in after all the distractions :-) were gone!! We also enjoyed LOTS of pumpkin seeds!

Happy Birthday!

Birthday's around harvest time require that you eat on the go! Soren and I brought subs etc out to Scott tonite as he is celebrating his 33rd birthday this year!! Note the candle in the cookie!!

Harvest

3 generations of tractor loving boys. Grandpa (63 yrs old), Daddy (33 yrs old) and Soren (3 yrs)

Today was a busy day at our house! Scott got to accompany Soren on his first ever fieldtrip. They went to a neighboring town to visit a 'farm.' Soren loved that he got to ride on a school bus, go on a hayride and of course see some tractors. We then got to celebrate the birth of Abbott Schueler. Followed by spending over an hour combining the beans with Daddy and Grandpa. He even got to have fries and rootbeer for supper!! What a great day for a 3 yr old!!

Falling leaves all around...

Today it is gorgeous outside!!! I didn't have the heart to stay inside after preschool (I should be studying for a class I'm taking the next two days), so instead we thoroughly enjoyed the weather outside!! Soren ran through the piles of leaves, attempted to 'catch' the falling leaves and hid in the leaves! What fun!
