Trick-or-Treat

Joe had a GREAT time trick-or treating tonight. It was so nice and warm! He didn't even need a coat or hat! Perfect weather! He filled up his pumpkin more than 2 times. And didn't even ask to eat any of the candy until we got back home. We had a blast!

Preschool Halloween Parade

Joe had his Halloween Party & Parade today at Preschool. He was so excited to dress up in his Pilot costume. They had a parade and sang us some songs!

Playing with Grandma

Joe loves playing with Grandma in their backyard. They had fun on the swingset, and it was Grandma's first time going way up to the top!

S-S-Snake!

*Grandma & Joe getting the snake with sticks*

Joe and Grandma found a snake with they were outside playing and caught it while he was playing dead.

Farming

*Joe's driving the combine with Grandpa*

*Riding in the combine watching the corn get sucked in.*


*Taking the corn to the coop elevator in the big truck with Uncle John*


*All done for the day; Joe drives the combine to the farm with Grandma & Grandpa.*

We headed down to Round Lake so Joe could help Grandpa with the harvest. He had his first ride in the combine, and he even got to drive! He was a hard working farm helper!

One Day Later...

We took these photos today in the same spot we took the pic of Joe from yesterday's post. What a difference a day makes! It's now very cold, extremely windy, and even snowing in our backyard. The first snow of the season in the Twin Cities! Yay!

Sunny Day

It's a beautiful day today, so Joe and I played in the backyard. And we stopped for a cute pic by the trees.

Pumpkin Carving

*Digging out his guts*

*Yuck! The pumpkin guts!*

*Dana carves the face*

*The finished pumpkin man*

We carved our pumpkin today. I HATE the way the pumpkin guts feel! Eeewww!~
But he turned out to be a pretty good looking pumpkin to set on our step.

Downtown

No Preschool today because it's MEA weekend, so we took the lite rail downtown to see the big, tall buildings. It was quite chilly, but we warmed up with some hot cocoa from Starbucks. And we were even lucky that the Farmers Market was today and we brought home some fresh fruit and veggies too!

Cold Morning

Our backyard looked so pretty this morning, I had to take some pictures. And when I stepped outside, it was so cold that I could see my breath! The thermometer said 40 degrees. Pretty soon it'll be time to get the winter coats out!

Apples

4 generations went to Aamodt's Apple Farm in Stillwater to get some apples today. Great-Grandma Shevik, Grandma T., Me, and Joe got all wet in the rain, but we had fun finding yummy apples. And we even got a couple pumpkins too.

Cold Fall Eve

Burrrr...It's so cold we had to start a fire in the fireplace tonight. There's talk from the local meteorologists that we may even have frost tonight! Eeek! Still, we had a perfect evening enjoying the fire, a little popcorn , and watching our favorite shows (Pushing Daisies & Dirty, Sexy, Money!).
