The kids had such a great time and Rach took some amazing photos. Here are some of my faves...
Beckett has pretend texted Gpa a million times asking about the combine...finally his chance!

This is why we have "Corn Chaff Days" in Hector...
The kids taking turns waiting for a ride...you can see Beckett in with Grandpa if you look really closely...
I remember taking pics like this when I was little, too!
And quite possibly my favorite of the day...Tate has obviously mastered the art of discreetly peeing in the field {a field next to the highway, no less!} a little better than Jacks... =)
Thanks Mom, Dad, R, & B...we got so much done while you had the kiddos!
2. When the kids got back on Sunday afternoon we decided to head to the park. Huber Park is their favorite in town...
3. Because I mentioned last week I was dying to see our family pics, I thought it would be only right to say that they were definitely worth the wait! Kristi from Dolce sent us the link on Wednesday to our online gallery and MAN that girl never disappoints. She has gotten to know our family over the past 5 years and knows who we are and what we love and it shows in the pics. Now I just can't wait to get the CD so I can share a few with you and get going on my Christmas cards!
4. Tate has been on our neighbor Kerry's waiting list for quite some time to take piano lessons. She emailed us last weekend to say she has a spot opening at the beginning of November. We don't currently have a place for a piano, so we decided to invest in a keyboard. We found a good deal on Craig's List from a nice family in Eden Prairie. The kids couldn't wait to play it when they got home.
The next morning Beckett came into our room at 6 o'clock and asked if the "piano" was still downstairs. The minute they heard the word, all three kiddos were downstairs playing. At 6:15 AM. I'm talking Avery Elaine Newman up at 6:15 AM. Not normal. But she's the one who has already taught herself "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star". I hope they always have this enthusiasm for playing!

So excited to have a couple of days off! I worked full time this week while my partner Angie was with her family in Florida, but it was fun to be with my school kids all day and I knew I would have Thursday/Friday at home. I am not attending any workshops this year, which I know to some people doesn't make sense, but in our district we actually don't get paid and aren't required to go. I am looking forward to a few days off with the kiddos at the farm and the lake before long nights of conferences start next week!
