We had friends over this weekend for the Iowa vs Iowa State game. I totally neglected to take any pictures, but it was fun and we had some great food!

We did s'more again this week, but have you ever roasted a Starburst? Basically you just take a Starburst and warm it up quickly (5 seconds) over the fire. We spent some time with friends this summer and they introduced us to this. It's yummy!

Russ's grandmother passed away this week. While we mourn her, we also rejoice that we got to spend some amazing time with her this summer when she came to visit and that she is at peace and now with Russ's grandfather in heaven. Her memorial service will be in Arizona in a few weeks and we aren't going to be able to go, but we are just so thankful for the quality time we have spent with her over the years and that our boys got to know her. 

I got to attend a free wine and painting class at Bottles and Bottega this week with some Des Moines Moms Blog friends. I got to bring along my friend Sara. We had a blast and made a fun painting of the Iowa Capitol Building.

We biked to a local park last night and had an impromptu picnic dinner thanks to Lunchables stored away in the fridge! Russ got a new bike so it was fun to give a test drive and have us all along.

How was your week?

I love this fall wreath that Loni made!

Sandy had great reminders of things we should clean that we probably don't often do!

Andrea is wearing a beautiful fall dress!
