Thanks to the loveliness of Noah's Aunties and Grandma and Grandpa, Noah spent last Saturday jumping his little heart out. I don't even think he noticed the 21 inches of snow we were getting; he was having way too much fun. Thanks everyone! He LOVES it.

We went to go see Santa last night. Noah sure had fun!

Isla 4, Greta 1

We had some family pictures taken a few weeks ago and I am finally getting around to posting some of the pictures. We did outside pictures and inside pictures. Greta was certainly "done" at one point. We have a lot more, but I can't possibly download them all so here's just a taste of what we've got. Enjoy and happy holidays to all!

Happy Halloween (from us too)

Last night we took the kids to the MN Zoo for some fun trick or treating. Noah was a monkey this year while Zoe sported a flower costume for a bit. It was interesting to see the zoo at night. A lot of the animals that are normally asleep when we are there were wide awake and roaming around. The zoo folks really made it fun for the kids and gave out a lot of toys and stuff vs candy (which I thought was great). I think Noah had fun and Zoe tolerated it just fine (sans costume).

Happy Halloween!!!

Here's a few pictures of my 2 little bugs from Halloween this year. We had such fun taking them around and they really had a fun filled Halloween this year. They had a party at daycare last week, then on Saturday night friends of ours hosted a party, which was so nice because it was inside and for kids and parents. Then today on Halloween we went to the high school for their annual kids party complete with games, popcorn, and Scooby Doo on the big screen. And of course the day wouldn't be complete without trick-or-treating tonight. Isla really understood the concept of trick-or-treating this year and wanted to keep going, and Greta was such a trooper being hauled all over the place. Hope everyone else had a great Halloween too!

Pumpkin Patch

We took the girls to the pumpkin patch today and they had a great time. The hid in some corn stocks, fed the chickens, and even got a hay ride. This orchard/pumpkin patch is only a few miles from our house and we've been going there since Isla was 10 months. It's been fun to look at the pictures each year and see how she has changed. Now this year Greta got in on the fun.

New Game

Isla and Greta have found one way to play together that benefits the both of them. Greta loves to push and Isla loves to ride. I wish I could upload them laughing while they do this, it's a hoot!
