Let the Halloween Parties Begin!

It's Halloween time! The Silver Power Ranger and Harry Potter had their first 2007 Halloween party at Hopkins Early Learning Center. Mom and Dad also got to get in on the Halloween fun as bubble baths for a friend's Halloween party. We didn't have enough white balloons so Ron took all the colored ones. I guess we shouldn't have been surprised but he kept getting asked if he was an Easter basket. We also got asked if we were dartboards (Remember the balloon games at the state and county fairs?). Good idea but a less than average execution :). We still had a ton of fun and going to the bathroom was an adventure!

Mom reminisces with the past

Mom and the kids traveled to Chicago last weekend for her 20 year high school reunion. On the way to Chicago, Mom and the kids stopped in Wildwood, where Mom grew up. We visited the house she was born in, played at Sunset beach, drove down Suicide hill and stopped at Stoplite, the neighbohood store. So much has changed, yet so much has stayed the same. It was nice sharing it with the kids. The reunion was an absolute blast!! I had so much fun catching up with friends from the past. It reminded me of how special our childhood memories are.

Mom and the Kids Update

While Dad was traveling for work, Mom and the kids had fun around the neighborhood. We made "purrrrfect" pancakes, went to the Eden Prairie Fire Department open house, and watched Canyon's last weekend of soccer games. We are sad for the soccer season to be over but are looking forward to winter sports (more gymastics for Presley and hockey for Canyon). We lost internet service for a week and are finally back online.

Canyon's First Field Trip & Sever's Corn Maze

Canyon had his first fieldtrip to the Minnesota Arboretum. Mommy went as a parent chaperone. It was a fun trip where we learned a lot about fungi and saw tons of cool mushrooms. Here's a picture with Canyon in front of the bus with his new friend Max. We've also included pictures from our trip to Severs Corn Farm & Maze. We maneuvered through the Wild West maze, hunting for "Wanted Signs". We also got to ride camels, feed the animals, play in the corn seed pit, and jump through the hay maze (luckily before the rain downpour)!
