Happy Halloween 2010

We had a great Halloween weekend! Saturday, we started the morning off with breakfast at the Park Tavern. Maggie wore part of her costume there to show her favorite waitress Lori. Then, she put on her full costume and we headed to the Shops at the West End. They had trick-or-treating there, a jump house, and some little games. Lots of fun! Later that day, we took our pink poodle and little ladybug to Grandma and Bubba's house where they stayed while and Chuck and I went to the Gopher game.
Today, Sunday, costumes were on by 6:00pm and we hit our street! It was so fun for Maggie this year. She really got into the trick-or-treating and then when we got back to our house, she LOVED handing out our candy to the trick-or-treaters. I'm really not sure which part she like better! I added some more pictures to the October album in Picasa.

Hmmm.......What should we wear this Sunday???

Fall Fun!

You can't beat the weather this Fall! It has been gorgeous!! We took advantage of the great weather this past weekend. Grandma Demulling didn't have to work on Friday, so she came to the MN zoo with us, Toni and the kids, Sara and boys, and Margo. Grandma packed a big old picnic lunch and the kids had a blast!
Saturday morning we road the old fashion train from Osceola to Dresser and back "The Pumpkins Train Ride". At the Depot in Dresser, the kids get off and they could pick out a pumpkin, play games, jump in the castle, roast marshmallows, go for a hay ride, and go through the hay maze. Oh, and get their face painted. Maggie liked that!
After the train ride, we headed back to Grandma and Grandpas for a quick lunch and then hopped on the hay wagon for a hay ride! We went on a new route this year and after we went through the fields, we went up the road to visit Mary and Randy on the farm. Maggie loved seeing the cows and ducks and especially the baby calves.
All in all it was a fun filled weekend! The second year for the train ride and hay ride. I think we are going to make it an annual event! More pics in the October album in picasa!

Ruby Jane's Baptism

Ruby was baptised this past Sunday on 10/10/10. It was a gorgeous sunny day. The ceremony took place after mass with just us and it was really nice. Ruby did great and didn't even cry the whole time! Chris and Jen were there as Godparents and both grandparents joined us including Great Grandma Demulling. The Dauwalters met up with us to celebrate back at the house. We served chili thinking that it would be a cool Fall day and it ended up being 80 some degrees out! Oh well! Maggie had a BLAST playing with her cousins! In a few years Ruby will be trying to keep up with them as well! There are lots of pictures from Ruby's big day in the Picasa Web Album. Ruby wore the same dress that I wore 33 years ago and Maggie wore 2 years ago.
