Full of Fall Activities

Como Lake starting to get some color

Well, the MN Twins lost that game in the last post - along with two other games in a row. We are now out of the playoffs, and as depressing as it may be for those of us who jumped on the band wagon late in the season, I have read that the Twins will likely be favored as a team that will likely go into the World Series next season. That has helped ease the pain of watching them lose those last couple of games last week.

Friday night was a big night for our sci-fi loving family! Not only was Dr. Who on and we had our neighbors over, and we all shared some great pizza - but it was also the season's first Battlestar Galactica! Oh my, my! This one was about as tasty and mind-blowing as they get. If anyone out there ever needs to chat it up about a little BSG, we are always game!

We've also really been getting into the season of fall this week. Taylor and Ian made Halloween shirts that turned out really well. They also made shirts for a parade they were in on Saturday! St. Paul Public Schools celebrated its 150th Anniversary with a parade that included all of the district's schools, and a party in Central High's stadium. Since our family has two kids in two separate schools, we had to split up and march in separate parts of the parade. We had a blast that morning, and the children really enjoyed representing their schools!

Sunday was busy enough as well - Taylor and Grandma went out for some "girl time." They hit the Walker, had some lunch, and did the Barnes & Noble thing for a bit. Afterwards, both Taylor and Ian had to go and get haircuts since their school pictures are coming up this week. Ian is never one to express a deep love for the barber shop, but this time there was no screaming or crying, so there is clearly some progress being made there.

I can't wait to see if our forecasters are right about the weather later on this week -- they are talking _SNOW_! I'll be sure to post some pics if that really does happen!
