My, how time flies!

Wow! It's amazing how absolutely nothing else gets done when you're busy in the field!!! Now it's time to catch you up on a couple of the fun things that we were actually able to do during that busy time, but I didn't have time to blog about!!!

We went on our annual pumpkin patch outing (with Chad's sister, Nikki, and our neices Hailey and Addisson, and Grandma Fank) but chose to go to a different place to try it out. We went to Cedar Creek Orchard which is up by Fairmont, MN. It was an absolutely GORGEOUS day - like 90 degrees or so. By the time we got home, I think we were ALL exhausted!


(trying to take funny pictures with their painted pumpkins)

(don't you love Kale's karate chop!!!) hehehe

We also celebrated the girls' last soccer game of this season. We couldn't have asked for a better season with the weather. Normally we are playing in the cold, sometimes snow flurries, but this year it was nothing but 70-90 degree weather! We DID play in the rain one Saturday, but it wasn't SNOW so we're not complaining!! I loved this picture I caught of the girls - they are such good motivators for each other on the field. They're always giving each other high-fives and pumping each other up. It's so much fun to watch.


Now we're gearing up for Nutcracker rehearsals which begin Halloween weekend!!! Remind me in a month why I was so excited for the girls to want to do this!!! hahaha

New Fashion Accessory??? Maybe not!

Yep, these handy dandy crutches are mine to enjoy for another couple days!!! I know you're all jealous! hahaha As most of you know, I help catch grain during the harvest season and have been putting plenty of hours in this fall with the gorgeous weather we've been having. Friday night, the back tractor tire flipped up some barbed wire and since I had a few minutes to wait I thought I'd get out and grab it. When getting out of the tractor, I managed to hit the ground wrong, heard about 5 or 6 popping sounds, then my whole body was on the ground!! At first I thought I broke it because it was constant shooting pain up my leg but luckily, after x-rays Saturday morning, it is just a bad sprain but I managed to strain my tendons so I have a hard time moving my foot left and right. I am able to put weight on it, but the doctor said I needed to stay off it in order for it to heal quicker...to which I snickered!!! ME, not moving around??? I think she figured out that was going to be hard for me so she told me I either needed to use crutches when I was up and moving or she was going to put a splint on me so I COULDN'T get around!!! Needless to say - I chose the crutches!
