Scratch That, Winters Here!
So in my last post I said Fall is here... well we just skipped right over there and now its winter. This morning I awoke to snow on the ground. Fun fun fun. Actually, no not really. I did not put on my winter coat in protest.

Outside of my apartment this morning.

I bet it is 80 degrees in Santa Cruz.

Moving back in with my parents (who now live in Bolivia) never sounded so good. They even have a spare bedroom... I call dibs!

Fall is Here!
So by the end of the week Albion will of had its first snow of the year... yep its that time of the year. BOO!

Speaking of Boo... its that time of the year as well. Where as I have never been a big Halloween fan of course Novi is and I spent the weekend out there. We bought a costume and Novali will be Sleeping Beauty (Princess Aurora). We went to a little makeshift Fall Fest in Chicago. The hayride was pulled by a tow truck, the horse rides were on a basketball court, and the pumpkin patch was a fenced in area with small pumpkins thrown around. All in all a fair attempt to bring the country to the city... but just not the same.

There was a petting zoo at the Fall Fest.

Novi looked through the patch, and found her pumpkin.

They had some inflatable games, those were her favorite.

She climbed over and over again.

We had some fun working on some craft projects Heather sent along with me again. I also got to help her with some homework as well. We went to the mall and looked at winter coats and shoes for the wedding. She is getting excited for her role in Miguel's wedding. It was a fun little weekend.

Decorating her candy bucket.

Trick or Treat!

She is working on tying her shoes now.

Some of her homework from school.

Well this week is Homecoming at Albion, so I am busy with that... and it is also Homecoming at WMU so I am trying to get over there as well to see some folks. Not too busy, just a lot of places that I want to be...
