Fall Festival weekend...

here are picture fro this last weekend's trip to Duluth to visit my brother & sis in law

Miss Maizy & Mr Mason

Saturday we walked to the fall festival just a couple blocks away.

As we waited I thought i'd snap a few of these two munchkins....

easier said then done.

She sat so patiently saying cheese..

while my boy ran away laughing.

There is something said about boys vs. girls!!!

finally after I held him down and tickled him we got him to smile for the camera...

but as you can see

she slowly got sick of smiling which turned into a silly face!

Off in the wagon to the festival...

by this time kids were getting tired!

Breck was done,

and Maizy wasn't far behind!

Her face is priceless,

like "whats this kids problem"

After we refueled on fried food

{cheese curds, fried potatoes, gyros}

we were all happy,

something about carnival, festival, fair food does that to people!

The dad's took the kids over to the playground to run

along with five million other kids..

while we watched and enjoyed the day

with this little chubby monster!

He is such a good baby...I could just steal him! 

Time to walk home...

within' minutes Breck was sleeping sitting up,

so I laid him down and off we went!

Maizy fell asleep in her dad's arms so we decided to put her in the wagon next to Breck.

Just as we laid her down she wakes up and says "MAIZY HATE IT"

so funny! She talked in third person all weekend!

He took a nap the whole way home :)

And of course woke up when we got to the front door...kids.

These two were buddies the whole weekend too!

Breck wouldn't leave Jack alone...but luckily Jack is a very good dog and let him

jump on him, pet him, pull his hair, even lick/kiss him on the mouth...ewww I know!

Later on Saturday night we had a bonfire in the back yard.

Patty had told us their had been bear and skunk spotting lately...

as we sat by the fire Jack comes running rapid over to us and brushes up on our legs/feet!

He reeks like skunk...

not to mention foaming a the mouth!

HE had got sprayed by a skunk in the yard right in the mouth!

WORST smell EVER

*even when we got back to Litchfield we still smelt skunk on us

Breck had so much fun seeing his cousin's!

And they were so gracious to let us come visit!

Maizy and Breck played so nice

and Breck had "nice hands" most of the time around the baby!

This is the best picture of the three I could get, yet again.

LOVE Mason's big eyes!

We got home and Breck was ready to PLAY after being in the car for over three hours!

{this face is so funny}

He was concentrating so hard to put those dang spider man shoes on...OBSESSED with them!

He LOVES climbing the stairs, although we are so afraid of him doing this!

Mostly on Sunday's Jerod is downstairs watching football all day long

and

me upstairs dinking around

So Breck thinks it so fun to go up and down seeing us.

Most of the time he listens when we say no, but sometimes he has a mind of his own!

After dinner that night it was bath time!

We still love baths...splashing in the water

Plus he smells so yummy afterwards!

We snuggle and lights out.

He was exhausted after our long weekend,

but so much fun!

After he went to bed I baked

 chocolate chip muffin's

and

apple crisp!
