Leaves

Is it Spring Break yet?

Last Sunday Rob and Kasper went to brand-new Allianz Field in St. Paul to see the Minnesota United in their first Major League Soccer playoff game! The Loons (as they are called locally) lost to the LA Galaxy, but the boys still had a great time.







Kids got their school pictures back. They were both happy with them so we didn't push retakes on anyone whose mohawk went limp.


I want to look back and remember that Marlo puts a smily face somewhere in her name every time she writes it at school.


The kids went up to St. Cloud Friday night for a trunk or treat event with Grandma Sandra. Rob and I treated ourselves to a night out with sushi.


We hung mostly close to home this weekend. Rob had a yard full of leaves to tackle and I had necklaces to make. Sometimes it seems like I can't make them fast enough before they sell!







The kids and I got the paper chain done to count down the days until Palm Springs! It looks like a lot but it'll be here before we know it.


I think we finished the yard work in the nick of time! The highs this week are in the 30's!! I'm just not ready for winter this year!


Hope everyone had a great weekend!

What a fun week we had!

Wednesday night we met friends for dinner at a place we hadn't tried yet called demi. You have to get reservations the first day of the month before you want to go. Our friends made reservations on September 1 and invited us! It's the new restaurant by Gavin Kaysen who has some really great places in the Cities. We did the 2 hour meal - it was 13 dishes and just a fantastic experience. The food was excellent and the vibe was just cool. There are only 20 seats around the kitchen and you're all getting the same food. Gavin was in the restaurant and talked with us a handful of times throughout our meal!




The kids had MEA this Thursday and Friday and we did a mix of Explorers one day and playing with Grandma and Grandpa one day. Yesterday the kids went to a birthday party at Chuck E Cheese! I didn't take them and haven't been to a Chuck E Cheese for decades. Apparently it was interesting.



We met Grandma Sandra and Dan for dinner last night to celebrate Grandma's birthday (which is tomorrow!).

It was a gorgeous weekend and we decided to go to the corn maze. I was worried it was going to be a nightmare but it was great! We had such a great time.

The corn pit is always a huge favorite.












Also a favorite, pumpkin launchers.



Would you guess she hit that black diamond shape on the left of the crossbeam?


New favorite - the slide.















After that exhausting afternoon, Kasper and Rob are at the MN United/LA Galaxy game! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
