Flannel sheets

I have a thing for flannel sheets and vellum blankets. I put them on all the beds yesterday. We all slept snuggly warm last night too. Joe and I have this thing where we don't turn the heat on until at least Nov. 1. Gets a little chilly in the morning, otherwise I harp "put a sweatshirt on", "grab a blanket". The reason we do this foolish thing you ask?

1. We are nothing if not cheap

2. We like silly games

3. It makes us all appreciate the warmth of our furnace when we do turn it on

4. I really hate the smell when you first turn on the furnace, and I like to prolong it as long as possible.

All of the above are correct.

Here are some pictures of the kids sheets and the boys cool matching quilts I told you about. (remember, the ones I got on clearance at Walmart?)

Brown County

Here is my first attempt at pictures on the blog. I hope it works. I got the pretty pic of brown county from the Internet, it wasn't as pretty in real life this time. Next week will be better. We had a lot of fun hiking the trails though. There is just something about being outside on those trails that does you good. The kids instantly get a long better. They fought like crazy the whole way there, they start hiking and laughing and it is amazing. It was chilly when we started at 945 am, but when we ended at 1245 we were sweating and our sweatshirts were off. Fun for all. I will show you a few pics, just 'cause I can!
