Treats!

Yesterday was a family fun day at Elizabeth Scott Community where my Mom now lives.  Children related to both residents and staff dressed up to do some indoor trick or treating.

Mom is wearing her favorite purple polka dotted shirt.  

She was smiling the whole time.

The kids kept coming for about 30 minutes.  

After going through several other buildings they enjoyed donuts and cider and crafts.

I'm hoping to get my own donut at the Halloween party for the residents this coming Friday.

Spoiling Our Neices

My brother got a new job in Minneapolis last month.  My sister and our husbands volunteered to hang out with our nieces so his wife could meet him to look at houses.  

We had a nice outing to The Strip District. The girls are in a donut rut.  It took a little looking, but we finally found their favorite donut shop.

Mmm...Maple Bacon donuts!  That's Katie on the left and Sarah on the right.

Another day we visited the National Aviary.  Aunt Deb and Sarah were being silly in the penguin exhibit.

My brother and sister-in-law weren't able to find a house, but they did pin down the neighborhood - and we all had a lot of fun.
