Happy November!

Monday was Halloween! The kids were so incredibly excited! Marlo was a mermaid at school.

While Kasper wore his ninja costume for the school Halloween parade. Which Rob attended.



We had Jack and Eva (and their parents) over for pizza before the big trick or treating event.


In our house, a NINJA fell into toxic ooze and became a TURTLE.


It was a beautiful evening for being outside. There were almost no other kids which was strange. There was a Vikings game on and it was a Monday night so maybe everyone went out way earlier. Anyway, the kids got more candy then they'll ever eat and had a great time doing it.

Rob and I both took advantage of early voting. I was waffling between doing it early and being in the mix on Tuesday. Early won out when the week seemed to be getting away from me and I didn't want to have the pressure of voting Tuesday weighing on me. Bonus - it took about 5 minutes and I got a sticker!


This little thing always crawls into our bed weekend mornings. Her brother is drawn to the tv like a moth to a flame. Marlo prefers snacks and books.

(We've all agreed the paci goes when she turns 3. Feel free to have a hearty laugh. We are.)

This weekend was AMAZING. It felt like summer! We tackled the yard work and did it in record time. Maybe this coming year we'll cut down the other tree in the backyard.

A representation of our political view this election year.

Big news - Kasper finally learned how to PUMP! He has had zero interest so far but apparently felt like trying yesterday. This is something we've been begging him to do for a long time so this is awesome!










Spitting water into each others mouths. So gross.

















This is what Marlo chose to wear this morning.


Got all her "stuff" loaded into "the car."







Loading up for a longer trip.


Marlo and I went for a nice walk outside before Target today. She does have an interesting fashion sense, huh?

























Kasper and Rob stayed back to play with cars.



We joined them in the backyard when we got home. Marlo got this dirty in the time it took me to make a couple sandwiches for a picnic lunch. She apparently took four face plants.







Hope everyone had a great weekend! Don't forget to vote!
