Well not too many new things have been happening out in Roscoe. Jimmy is still loving football and has played one game. They lost, big time, but he had fun anyway. He was so excited because Ray and Annie came to watch him. That meant a lot to him.

We had Phil's 3 nieces last Friday through Sunday. I loved it! I was picking out all of the cute pink clothes and doing braids in their hair. I have learned that I totally could have had 5 kids. However, I would have no husband because he would go crazy and leave us to live in a mental institution. He can only take the chaos for so long! He is still asking why girls have to scream as the do everything. They are running and they scream, they are playing and they scream. We just aren't used to it because boys generally don't do that. I was able to block it out but Phil wasn't. He finally asked Madi why she was screaming and she looked at him like he was speaking French. I don't even think that she knew she was screaming. All of the cousins had a good weekend though and when it gets down to it that is what matters.

For Labor day we went up to see Mary and Ben in Sun Prarie. Mary and I went shopping for some last minute wedding things and Phil, Ben, and the three boys all hung out. Later we went for a drive and took the ferry across the river. Our family used to do that every year on our way up to camp in Merry Mac. It was fun to take the boys on it and show them where we used to vacation. We stopped in Baraboo for some ice cream and then headed back to their place. We all headed home because it was a school night for everyone. Including Danny who started Kindergarten. He informed me that school was no big deal but he was excited to be taking a lunch in his new metal Spider Man lunch box. It turns out that he had a great first day!

That's really all for now.
