HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

TRICK-OR-TREAT! This was the first year we finally understood that saying. Troy wanted to dress up like Captain Hook for a long time, until he spotted a rather large sword at Target. From then on he was fascinated with being a knight. We found a costume on ebay and the rest is history. Emma was a little harder to buy for. It is frigidly cold here, so as much as we would love to be every princess, the dresses do not keep much heat. So, this witch costume was available and we covered her in tights, leggings, two undershirts, a cardigan...and it was still not enough.

Tonight it was 39 degrees farenheit, so many layers were needed.

We headed out with the wagon and a thick blanket. Emma did not last long and before we knew it she was in the wagon and covered up to her neck with the blanket. Troy kept running house to house..."mummy, which house is next?"

Emma and I headed back to the house after covering most of our street. Troy, on the other hand, couldn't get enough. So, he and Matt continued on.

They came back with quite a load of candy...more than any parent really wants their child to have. They had a lot of fun though. Enjoy the pics!

We will be posting more from recent events shortly.

FOLLOW-UP To SnowFall

I think we received four inches in total. Kids down the street took advantage of the snow and made the first snowmen of the neighborhood. They stuck around for a few days.

As you can see, our turkeys were back as well. It has been a cold week, but next week is supposed to warm up quite a bit. I do not want to see this snow back for a long time!!

WINTER WEATHER UPDATE: Per FoxNews

A minor winter storm is moving our way and flurries will start to fill the air by early Monday morning. By daybreak Monday the snow will be accumulating in the Twin Cities. This could mean wet and slushy roads during the morning commute. Snow is expected to accumulate mostly during the morning and taper off in the afternoon ending by evening. In the Metro we expect 2 to 3 inches. Wind won’t be much of a factor with this system and after the snow moves out clearing is expected Monday evening and Monday night.
A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect from 1 am Monday through 4 pm Monday and it extends from the Twin Cities to southwestern Minnesota. An area of snow from 3 to 5 inches is expected south of a line from New River, Wisconsin to Stillwater and on to Redwood Falls then down to Worthington. Since this zone includes the southern metro we could see areas from Burnsville to Eagan and Lakeville get around 3 to 4 inches of snow.
I would say it has already started accumulating....GRRRRR!

"Baby, it's cold outside...."

I hope I did this right and you can check out this article. We woke up to snow on the ground today, the earliest since 1985. Yeah, not happy. We were supposed to have family pictures taken outside, so those were canceled.
The kids had gymnastics also, but at least we did not have to go far. I got outside with Troy and he said, "It's as cold as a refrigerator outside!! Brrrr...."
Monday is supposed to be a bit colder with possible accumulation. Now, why did we move to Minnesota again?

Vikings v. Packers - October 5, 2009

What a game!! We had a great time and we could not have asked for more! Favre had three touchdown passes, there were 8 sacks on the Green Bay Quarterback, and a safety in our Endzone! It was great to see Favre in action and for the team to do so well to beat the Packers!

The Packer fans were quite nice also. They were high-fiving us towards the end for a job well done. Merry Christmas Matthew!

MONDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL - WHAT A GAME!!

Introducing the MINNESOTA VIKINGS!!!

BIG SURPRISE!!

It is late on Friday, October 2nd here. Matt and the kids are upstairs sleeping. What Matt does not know is that I was able to obtain some tickets to Monday nights big football game, the Green Bay Packers v. the Minnesota Vikings!! Matt and I went last year for his Christmas present and we had such a good time!

This year, with Brett Favre joining the Vikings, tickets were a little pricier than usual to see the big rivalry game. He currently thinks I was not able to get tickets. But, as the saying goes, I know a guy...

So, these pictures will be what Matt wakes up to tomorrow morning. A little scary, I know. However, he will hopefully be a little excited as well. SKOL Vikings!!!

P.S. Yes, I am still a Cowboy fan.
