Around 5:30 James and Alex got up and left to go fishing at Silver Creek.  Here is just a sample of what they caught.  

 Alex caught 10 fish!!

 James caught two.

It was a great day for these two fishermen!

 

After Sheri's run we watched last night's episode of The Mentalist.  She, Ben, Max, and I played Five Crowns.  I won my third game in a row.  I won two yesterday.  I beat Max by only two points and he was quite sad.

Sheri and I got ready and went into town. At town I made a deposit at both Chase and National Bank and then we went to Walmart.

I got Evan a pumpkin pie because last night when Max said something about making him into a pie Evan said: Pie?  Are we having pie?  I want pumpkin.  I also got James a pecan pie.  

Sheri had to make a run to Circle K and then stopped at Little Caesars for a couple of pizzas and some breadsticks.  

We played one more game of Five Crowns.  This time Sheri won.  I felt like everyone was against me.  

Sheri asked Evan if he wanted some macaroni and cheese and he said: "Not unless you have italian cheese."  He watched Pioneer Woman yesterday and that's what she used in her homemade mac & cheese.

Did I mention that Evan is an artist and a writer.  He wrote a book and drew this picture.

 This is a picture of a robot.

Evan likes robots.

Sheri talked herself into going home this evening.  Here are her reasons: 1.) She needs to take Max to the dentist. 2.) We are leaving early in the morning.  So they packed up and left.  I was a little sad but totally understood why.

Sheri and her handsome boys.

James and I watched The Mentalist before going to bed.

Wish I would have wrote down

where this was taken.

I love this!
