Happy Thanksgiving from the Pilgrims!! (not sure why Sydney made a boy hat at preschool instead of a girl one, but we'll just have to use our imaginations here....)
Ever since daylight savings time started a few weeks ago we have playing indoors after dinner. We hadn't played with the easy bake oven for ever so we pulled it out and three nights in a row the girls begged to bake something with the oven. It was a lot of fun until the third night when Sydney broke out in a rash around her mouth after just tasting the tiniest bit of brownie mix batter. I looked at the package and sure it enough it said "may contain traces of peanuts." Who puts peanuts in easy bake oven mixes, c'mon!! So that night I had to tell Sydney she couldn't eat the brownies she was about to make. She was so sad. Then Lindsey, sweet as can be, said "Sydney, if you can't have the brownies, I won't eat them either." Then Daddy came up with the idea to have huge ice cream sundaes instead. He pulled out every thing of chocolate sauce and sprinkles we had. Soon Sydney was smiling again!!
Happy Halloween (only 5 days late!!) Lindsey went as Cinderella this year and Sydney went as Uniqua from the Backyardigans. We went with some of our neighbors and made it all around the two neighborhoods by our house this year which means LOTS of candy. I thought for sure Sydney would get tired but she kept up the whole time.
Above are Lindsey, Sydney and Colin getting ready to go out trick or treating. Below are Lindsey and Sydney with the neighbors, Teagan, Colin and Josh and we can't forget the cutest trick or treater, Amelia. Isn't she adorable!!!
We went to our favorite pumpkin patch, the 101 Market in Otsego, and got our pumpkins again this year. The girls had fun digging the guts out. David helped Lindsey with hers and I helped Sydney. David was done with his and Lindseys by the time I even had Sydney's eyes done. I guess the power tools he used helped, although it made quite the mess! We had pieces of pumpkin all over the kitchen!!
A couple of weekends ago we went to our neighbor's wedding. The ceremony was at the Weddings of Wayzata and the reception was at Rush Creek. This was the first wedding that the girls had been to (well first wedding that they were old enough to know what was going on). The girls looked so pretty in their pink matching dresses! 
Lindsey enjoyed drinking water out of a wine glass and thought she looked pretty cool. All the glasses on the table made mommy a little nervous but some how nothing got broken! We sat with some old neighbors of the groom's parents and had a really fun time. The girls could have stayed and danced all night! Congratulations Chad and Jodi!!
Lindsey's teacher, Mrs. Klukow is very good about taking pictures and posting them on her website. Here are a couple of pictures from when the firetruck came to visit Lindsey's school. It is always nice to see pictures of your child smiling at school. 
On September 28th we made the trek to Delano to have the girls pictures taken by Angie. After lunch from the yummy peppermint twist drive-in, we headed to the Apple Jack Orchard. This was our first time at this orchard. The weather was perfect and we had lots of fun. Note to anyone going to this orchard to pick apples, you pay by the pound not the bag! David thought for sure we paid by the bag so we kept filling the bags up even though I thought we must pay by the pound. Sure enough he gets up to the register to pay and the cashier weighs the apples and says--that'll be $29.98!
