friends welcome

Last week our friend Aaron had a conference here in Louisville. He brought along Becky and the rest of the kiddos. We had so much fun. We've really missed them. When we lived in Lincoln we would get together a lot, our kids get along really well and it was nice always having a friend to do things with. Molly and Gabe have been talking about them coming for a LONG time. Now we are working on getting back on schedule and catching up on the sleep we missed out on last week. :D

We went to Mooremen Landing and walked around. It was so pretty. The kids had a great time playing in the leaves. One thing about Kentucky is that there is NO shortage of leaves.
We went to Mammoth Cave on Friday. Sadly Aaron was at his conference so he missed out on this one. Here we are exiting the cave.
me and the girls
Becky with her little guy.
What can I say? Gabe is so happy to be a part of our family.
We also went to the zoo played some frisbee golf and went for a little night hike in the Jefferson Memorial Forrest.
Thanks for coming Anderson's we had a great time!

Paint & Wood

Before.
After.
The hallway/kids door.
One of the things that I like about our library is that after story time they always have a craft. Molly and Gabe's door is ready for fall.
(Last week felt like fall low to mid 70's. Sunday it's supposed to be 90. Not complaining just sayin...)
We have a friend who takes care of a golf course. Last week he cut down 2 trees. These trees have a new home behind our garage.
This was the start. Now the wood goes all the way across the garage and it's stacked up to the window. We still have a bunch of trunk pieces that need to be cut and then stacked... It should keep us warm this winter. and the next. and the next. Anything to keep the heating bill down is fine by me.

Meijer

I'm not sure if any of you live by a Meijer or if Meijer adds are national or just local, but my Meijer is having a can sale this week. Meijer brand vegetables are 4/$1.00 and apples are $.59 lb. Our store was pretty cleaned out, but Wal-Mart add matches...

One other reason we love Meijer is Sandy. Sandy is the little electronic horse you can ride when walking out of the store. Molly and Gabe asked if they could ride her the first time we were in there. I without really looking said No and then realized that you can ride Sandy for {drumroll} $.01 Now whenever we're in Meijer the bribe is "if your good you can ride Sandy before we leave".
