Before the madness began, Jack lost another tooth. It's a good thing it finally came out. It was looking pretty nasty. I started calling him Nanny McPhee because he could stick that tooth out over his lip just like her. Yuck! We also have a very forgetful tooth fairy these days....she hasn't come yet. :0)
Our firs stop was to walk around Minnehaha Falls park. We were crossing a bridge and noticed a totally nervous guy holding three roses and a ring box. Cha-ching! Ok, I have to admit I feel a little guilty waiting around to see this guy sweat bullets all in the name of amusement, but what can you do? So his girlfriend walked down these stairs and he gets down on one knee and proposes right on the spot. It was off the charts adorable. She was crying, the whole works. Jack cheered and whooed for them!
This is my favorite time of year in the frozen tundra. These pictures just don't do the changing leaves justice. Hmmm maybe it's the photographer.
John was pretty proud of this picture. This is an exact reenactment of what happens day in and day out at our house. Kids play, kids fight, mom attaches hand to hip and yells at kids, repeat 20 times.
On our way home from the falls we stopped at Ben and Jerry's for some ice cream. It's right on lake Minetonka...so pretty. The only downfall is that some yuppy (you know the guy, polo shirt, braided belt, khaki shorts, loafers with no socks) decided to have his kids 5th b-day party there and invite 20+ kids. It was a nightmare!! Max was not fazed, he decided to amuse/entertain himself by practicing the time honored technique of canines everywhere.
To finish off this awesome day, we came home and baked up some delicious homemade pizzas. This was the best fall day we've had yet! We miss you John, come home soon. (just not with a tan or you'll be in trouble)

I love the family outing. You guys are so great about that. I don't even want to know how cold that water was that Maxers was in with no clothes on! :) Man I am no fun! What a gorgeous picture. Good thing you have a nice butt or you could not have shared that picture!!!
Poor. poor corporate John, Go spend some of his money!!
So hard to have dad gone but a fun day together to send him off. I love the pic of you with your hand on your hip...maybe because it's my life too.
I think I'm making pizza tonight.
Love it. Love it. Love it. Thank you, Thank you thank you. Nana
