Yesterday, I was on my way to work and my battery/alternator died. I called AAA right away but it took the tow truck two and a half hours to get to me. Stuck outside on the side of the road on the first real snow day, horrible. Hopefully, winter will redeem itself.

It was fun to see all the costumes and all the crafts.

The food was great too. We ate fried dough balls covered with cheddar and garlic powder sprinkled on top. We also had huge turkey legs and a cup of Guinness . Yum!

We made our way to the Pictured Rocks area in the UP. The weekend was really nice which made it great for exploring.

He is the best baby, the cutest, and the most squishiest. He is already lifting up his own head! Here are some pictures. I also finally finished the blanket for him!

It was the same as every year. Same kinds of things, little trinkets, big trinkets. It was nice to get out and make our way through the maze of people.

The weather actually held up too. It seemed like it was going to rain a couple of times, but it turned out alright.

I like the thought that someone made something special for their celebration. The idea of a bridal registry is so unappealing. I would like to be surprised when it comes to gifts instead of just checking it off a list.

Yes, the idea was nice, but I soon regretted it after I started the project. They were turning out to be such a hassle. It didn’t help that they needed to be finished by the next day. They turned out nice once they were finished, but I will probably never do this again unless I plan it out better.

I don’t remember what they are…just flowers I guess. It’s starting to look like a jungle. The only problem is, there are little gnats all around.
