Welcome to Kansas!

My dad and stepmom came to visit us last weekend and got their first glimpse of good ol' Kansas. We had a great time eating tons of food, shopping, and hanging out. On Saturday we went to the Plaza to walk around and shop and we found tons of zombies like this:  
This guy was one of the better ones.
 Even the statues were getting into the spirit of Halloween...
Me with my dad and Cyndee.
Look how happy we are shopping for shoes!
I was shocked when I found out that Cyndee had never carved a pumpkin in her ENTIRE life (apparently it's not big in North Dakota) so I insisted that ALL of us carve pumpkins. Eric made a movie to document Cyndee's first pumpkin carving experience! I know, I know...my pumpkin is pretty IMPRESSIVE. And so is Eric's movie making skills! 
Come back to Kansas soon!!

Money Money

Since the government was kind enough to take away our subsidized loans, we've been looking for other ways to get some more mullah. Eric was willing to sacrifice a few hours of his day to write essays  and won himself a scholarship! WAHOO!!

Eric was presented with 1,000 big ones last Saturday during a dinner at his school. If only I could spend it on clothes instead of tuition...

Good job Eric!
