Caribou Smoothies

What to do with thirty minutes to spare before our chiropractic appointment?
Stop by Caribou Coffee and get some strawberry-banana smoothies of course. :)

Pumpkin Carving

Yesterday while Elyse and I were at a classmate's birthday party, Dad and the boys went out to the garden and picked seven of our homegrown pumpkins.  They then spent their time carving the only green pumpkin into a scary monster.  Fun day for all four of them to share. 

Anoka County Farms

We decided to spend this sunny day at one of our favorite places to go in the fall, The Anoka County Farms' Pumpkin Patch.  While there the kiddos petted the animals, took their annual pictures by the growth chart and turtle, played with the toys, climbed the swing set and hay bales, and pulled around their little red wagons.  With all the fun things to do I really don't know who smiled more, the kids or I?!

Bigger Helpers

Never fails that one little thing turns into a entire big event.  Boys and I made a pretty good size mess in the kitchen.  I told them I will vacuum it up.  They quickly grabbed theirs too and then convinced me to do the rest of the house with them.  At least our activity resulted in a clean home.

Keokuk Visit

We headed south to Keokuk, Iowa this past weekend to visit Grandpa and Grandma.  Like always, our trip went super fast and we had a wonderful time!  We spent our time at Burlington's Fun City, shopping, riding the farm equipment and playing. 

Special thanks to Grandpa and Grandma for having us. Look forward to seeing you again in just a few weeks.
