Lions and tigers and bears, OH MY!

Okay, so I don't have a bear here, but I hope you all had a fun Halloween. Here are my little Lion and Tiger.

We took the little guys to a few family members' houses to beg for candy tonight, then we went to a nice part of Marshfield and walked a few blocks.  These people were fun!  Almost everyone was out on their porch or in their yard and was dressed up - they even dressed up their pets.  I think I had as much fun as Levi did.  Noah was just not feeling in a festive mood today - he was sick most of the night, and although he felt better today, he was tired from his routine being messed up.  It is tough being almost 2.

Anyway, tomorrow is our monthly church potluck.  We do our potluck a little differently from most, and I have to say, I really like it.  We ladies make up a menu each month and list the stuff people can bring.  That way, the other ladies just sign up for something listed and we are guaranteed to not have 4 potato salads, 3 baked beans and no meat!   Tomorrow's menu is Sloppy Joes (or "Barbecue"-that's what they call it here).  I am bringing cheesy potatoes and a dessert I call "Cookie Dough Brownies".  Here is the link to the recipe.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:   Make each day a memory - you never know, it might be the last memory you get to make.
