Osceola to Dresser Pumpkin train...

Lots of fun. Hay maze, bouncy gym, haunted house, pumpkins, good food...and a broken down train that left us stranded there until 3 pm. We had fun though, very busy with all of the kids, but we think they had a really good time.

Walter got pooped out and actually fell asleep in my arms which was a first in a LONG time.

Chubby Winter Coat fun

Walter just started doing this scrunch faced smile that is just so funny to see. It will be in many pictures to come I know.

Well, it was a nice fall day last week and we decided we'd play outside. I didn't want him to get too cold though, so I put on his winter jacket. Pumpkin Head the 2nd came to be...

AuntHannah's return to Wisconsin

We had lots of fun with Nanners. She met Tucker Matthew for the first time, Rod's son. We hung out with Grandma G at the Senior Center in Ellsworth, and even got to Baypoint Park in Red Wing on a gorgeous afternoon.

We cooked a lot and made a giant muffin for Ryan on her last day visiting.

Uncle Rod put Walter on the slide for the first time. He didn't like it.

We put Walter on the swings for the first time also, not a fan.

He enjoyed eating rocks and climbing on the huge rocks that line the Mississippi River.

Ryan and I will miss her a lot. We had a really enjoy when she comes to stay.

Chilifeed

Wow, it's been a while. I have a lot of updating to do. We had our chilifeed / Walter's birthday party on October 4th, 2008. It was a lot of fun, and so many people came!

Walter and friends enjoyed painting pumpkins and eating paint. Checking out his Dad's Belarus tractor, and eating everything they could find. Grandma Linders won again this year. Rhonda Austin got second place, and Grandma Gert won 3rd place.

We also had a pinata that the kids liked. Their favorite candy was the wax dracula teeth.
