Zicke Zacke Oi Oi Oi

After running a bunch of annoying house errands, we celebrate Oktoberfest for a bit in Detroit at Eastern Market Brewing Co. with a couple friends.  Jamie talked me into buying yet another beer vessel, and was sooo close to winning the stein holding contest.

Prost!

mmm beer

There's not much else going on lately, just cranking through the grind of school, work, soccer and meetings every week!  Maggie is turning slightly teenager, but for the most part she is still our sweetheart.  Evie is really improving with reading, and we try to spend some time each night reading together.  Ben is doing well at daycare, and each morning he stops to give each sister a hug and kiss before leaving the car, it's too sweet!

Making the world's tallest pizza

He spent about 2 days with this unicorn
necklace, so attached (then he got over it)

So much energy after playing a full game of soccer!

Evie's team - the unicorns!
Somehow they are all blonde or blonde-ish, and fierce!

Buds for life

Jamie has been begging for years to get a giant Stay-Puft blowup for Halloween.  I finally caved, and it really did make him so very happy.  The kids are also big fans.

Ghostbusters... Jamie is still envisioning additions for the future
