Fall fun

We've been keeping busy around here with all the Fall festivities and pre-Halloween events going on.  

Our neighbors across the street hosted the '1st annual 117th Ave flag football game.'  It was held on the afternoon of the Viking/Packer game, and you were supposed to wear your purple or green!  It was a beautiful afternoon outside.  Pretty sure this game was more exciting to watch than the actual Viking/Packer game that evening.  Poor Vikings. 

How cute are these fans?  Blake is the other Vikings fan in the middle and Nathan is the Packers fan.  Blake and Henry had a great conversation about how the Vikings were going to win that evening and they were both equally as excited that the Golden Gophers had pulled off a win the previous day.  

That evening, we went to Como Zoo for Zoo Boo.  We couldn't have asked for better weather that day!  Fire Chief and Fire Chief :)    

I took Henry and Lydia to Henry's Halloween party for school.  Here he's playing a version of the 'cake walk' with prizes instead of cakes!

Decisions, decisions!  It took quite a while to pick that perfect prize.  Henry had a blast at the party and brought home quite a few treats!

In other news.....

Henry's been such a trooper with the huge changes that come with a new baby in the house.  He's been keeping awfully busy with lots of projects inside.  Last week, he went through a coloring book every 2 days - markers, crayons, paints, stickers, you name it!  Thank you to Oma for taking such great care of him these past few weeks as well :)  

Miss Lydia had her 2 week appointment with Dr. Sakkal last week.  She was 8 lbs, 15 ozs and 20 1/4 inches in length.  I learned something - in the hospital they measure length from their head to the tips of their toes, and then when they start coming to the clinic they measure it from head to heel - not sure why?  Here she is getting her bowl bath at Oma's house :)  She's 3 weeks old today!

Up next.....Halloween!
