Picking the Perfect Pumpkin!

After our trip to the orchard and a much needed nap, we decided we needed pumpkins also! We headed up to Zywiec's to pick out the perfect pumpkin (or squash!).... Alaina was infatuated with all the different squash! She picked one out right away and had to carry it around with her the whole time we looked for pumpkins! We knew we were in for it when we had to rip it out of her arms and put it in the oven for dinner!... Major meltdown! The squash was delicious and the pumpkins look great on the front doorstep!

More silly hay thingy's!

I don't know, I just liked, so I took a picture!
Takin' a break from our search!

Hmmmm... which one?

This one! This is my pumpkin, keep your hands off!

Seriously CUTE! No we did not put her like that, she did it herself!

Back away from my squash!

Apple Orchard!

Since the weather was gorgeous today, we decided to spend the morning at the apple orchard! Alaina loved walking around checking out all the animals and activities! If it's nice next weekend, we might have to check out a different one!

Holy cow daddy, look at those big straw guys!

Peek!

"How Tall This Fall" - 2 1/2 feet!

Silly Billy Goats!

Hmmm.. not too sure about this straw stuff!

It's pretty fun up here on "Straw Mountain!"

Racing Rubby Duckies!

Going for my tractor ride!

Drivin' the Apple Junction truck!

Cute As A Pumpkin!

My Favorite Hobby!

Alaina's favorite thing to do right now is color! Everywhere I go I find crayons...in the bathroom, in the laundry room, in the car and even in the potty! Mommy especially likes Alaina's new hobby, because then Mommy can do her favorite hobby - clean the house!!

My Cousin Eric!

We started off the weekend babysitting Eric on Friday night! He is a wonderful baby, but Alaina was not too sure about losing the attention to her cousin!! After three time-outs and some talking to, she was able to accept him...But, after the night was over... I decided I'm very happy with just one kiddo right now!

Takin' a ride in the pink Cadillac!

Alaina insisted, she needed a ride in the pink Cadillac also!... Wayyy to big for the pink Cadillac as you can see!

TC 10 Mile!!

I got suckered into another run... Yes, one of my lovely friends talked my into doing another long run! But, every time I do it, I love it more and more! This was by far one of the best courses we've done. The Twin Cities 10 mile is a lottery, so we signed up as a group and we we're very lucky to get in! Go Team Angerman! The team was Jessi, Tara, Jessi's sister Steph, her fiance Randy and myself! This was my favorite run for two reasons, it was absolutely beautiful and I had my best time! Randy finished first @ 1 hr 26 min, Tara & I second @ 1 hr 33 min and Jessi & Steph finished @ 1 hr 42 minutes!

Now I am done!.....You hear that Jessi and Erin! No more of this non-sense!... Actually I've decided since you have each talked me into one, I owe you one... ! So that is a surprise I'll save for you guys for Christmas, I'll let you know what you're doing with me next year! ; ) Love ya!

Tara & I just crossing the finish line(me pointing to Jon & Amber, surprised someone from my family actually came to watch! Thank you, it meant a lot to me!) Jessi, Steph & Randy
We're done!! Time for Caribou!
