After school

Two big glops of caramel
microwaved 25 seconds;
dip apples. Guaranteed sticky,
gooey, delicious mess every time.
With droopy October weather bringing on the blues, Stan took a short drive to Eden Prairie this afternoon for a little pick-me-up. Nothing beats the boost you get when your kindergartener jumps off the bus and runs at you yelling "Grandpa, Grandpa!" as though you're some kind of rock star. Nothing.
Since Emily started all-day kindergarten, we don't host her on Fridays any more. She's been busy with lots of new things and adventures. We miss her. And she hasn't been seen on this blog either. So today we did some catching up.
Water paints, carmel apples, furniture forts, funny faces, a dollar-for-a-song and some regular old roughhouse.

A bright October day indeed.
Too cold today to make forts in the leaves.
