Sheet Forts

This weekend was a rainy weekend.

Saturday we suited up in: rain pants, rain boots, and rain jackets and walked to the Farmer's Market because guess what? I NEVER MISS THE FARMER'S MARKET! Seriously. Especially now since there are only a few weekends left.

The worst part of winter? No outdoors Farmer's Market.

If they had an outdoors Farmer's Market in the winter. I would still go. Even if it was -20 degrees and there was a blizzard. That's how much I love the Farmer's Market.

Anyways...after the Farmer's Market I babysat and the kids and I made a sheet fort. We mostly just sat around in it and then while the 2 year old was napping I cleaned it up so that there wouldn't be a big mess for the mom when she got home. The older kid and I played 1.5 hours of Uno.

Saturday night Mark and I went over to his parents house for dinner. We hadn't been over there in far too long! It was wonderful as always.

Sunday it was another drizzly day. Mark and I made a sheet for in the living room (which I'm currently sitting in). We baked and hung out in the fort, and also walked over the to the co-op.

It was a wonderful, relaxing weekend!

I wish weekends were longer!

Another Lovely Weekend

See? I told you I'd keep up with posting.

Mark and I had a lovely weekend.

We went to the Farmer's Market Saturday morning with Mark's mom. It was a beautiful crisp morning, and the leaves on the trees near the capitol are beautiful right now.

I made a pumpkin cake. Yum!

And hung up some fall decorations. Friends came over Saturday night and enjoyed some seasonal treats.

Mark and I went to Devil's Lake on Sunday to enjoy a fall hike. A lot of the trees had already lost their leaves, but we still saw some nice color and the temperature was perfect! It was a beautiful day. We hiked on the west side of the lake, which was a much more relaxed walk than anything on the east side. (Note to Roxy and Jtown- We NEED to do this hike next time you're here. No scary scrambling down rock strewn mountain sides).

On the way back from Devil's Lake we took the Merrimac Ferry. While our car waited in line we got ice cream. :-)
And we saw a train crossing Lake Wisconsin.

Fall is just lovely.

Ok. I've been lax lately in my posting. Mark and I have been BUSY! Enjoying fall, working, enjoying fall, all the usual things! So...I'm just posting a bunch of pictures...I need to stay on top of posting (I know i know...I say this all the time). Enjoy! These are also completely out of order...sorry about that. :)
