Emergency! Something is wrong with John and Hanna! They're sick! Get them to a doctor! At lunch, both of them greatly preferred their lima beans to their pancakes. Oh woe, what could be wrong! Ha. They do like their veggies. I tried one, and it tasted like the same old chalky lima beans, but I tried to smile and pretend they tasted good so the kids would still eat them!

It's raining here now, a typical fall day. Wet leaves, wet grass, temps getting cooler. So, we stayed indoors and played with trains and with puzzles (John is getting good at doing puzzles) and books and rubber hoses and balloons and whatever else.

Just got the kids put down for a nap.

I showed Hanna the family picture we have from Colorado, and I pointed at Mom and asked Hanna "who's this?", and Hanna said "Gramma!" and when I pointed at Dad she said "Grappa!" She remembered! Must have had a good time in Minot last week.

The Goofers, in one of their biggest games in decades, tromped Michigan for 3 quarters, were up 28-7, could've gone to 7-0, and then did a typical Goofer collapse. Michigan outscored them 31-7 in the fourth quarter and won 38-35. Ugh. About sums up why I've never been a big fan of U of Minnesota sports.
