Birthday Party #1

Peter was so lucky that he got to have 2 birthday parties! The first party was at Grandma Radzak's house on Friday, November 9, his actual birthday. We were coming from Duluth so we had a quick meal of Papa Murphy pizza and then Grandma had a Nemo cake for dessert.

 

Just the boys hanging out downstairs while the pizza cooked (or burned!). Mom made a mental note that evening- don't let 2 grown up men and 2 kids be in charge of cooking pizza, even when they are sitting right next to the oven!

Peter enjoys some snacks before the pizza is ready. I think he knows to head right for the table as soon as he gets to Grandma's house. She always has a plate of goodies. This time we got strawberries and carrots with dip! Yum!

Peter loved his new excavator he got from Grandma and Grandpa. It was a new thing for me to watch Peter open gifts without me getting any. Mom and Dad had to talk to me about how it was Peter's special day.

Finally, the cake! Grandma had a beautiful Finding Nemo cake that was very delicious!

This is Peter's new pout. The cake was sitting in front of him and he reached for it- Mom just told him, no, your piece is on your plate, and he did his pout for a minute. He doesn't say anything or cry at all, just pouts with his head down. And then all of a sudden, he is happy again. Mom wasn't even being mean, he is just funny, thats all. Sometimes at home if he doesn't get his way, he will silently go sit on the steps with his head down. Silly Peter! He is so cute sometimes!

Happy Birthday Peter!

Happy Halloween!

We headed out today to trick-or-treat. It was the perfect evening to be out, and we had lots of fun!

Showing off my spider legs! I insisted on showing every person who opened the door too. I was pretty proud of my spider costume!

Little Peter looking adorable!

We only hit about 10 houses before I requested to go home. I just really, really needed to get my hands on all this candy I got!

Peter was ready too. He didn't even take time to take his costume off. He just sat down and didn't move for at least 10 minutes.

Halloween makes me happy!

Watch out for that stinger!

 

Do you recognize this bumble bee?? I was almost 1.5 years old when I wore this costume, and looked just as cute!

And Peter was stuck in a pumpkin!!

Apple Juice

Dad and I made our last batch of apple juice with the remaining apples from our tree. Our tree was great this year. It gave us 8 gallons of apple juice, 3 pies, 2 apple crisps, and endless apple eating for the last 3 months. Plus more that we gave away. It was fun to watch Dad grind the apples and then squeeze the juice out. And it is the best tasting juice ever! 

 This is me, after a hard days work. I told Dad I wanted to sleep in my chair, so I did just that.

Pumpkin Carving

We got two humungous pumpkins from Grandpa Gerard and spent the other evening carving them into a scary one and a nice happy one. I helped Dad every step of the way, even the gutting!

Peter wanted in on the action too, but didn't hang around too long when he found out that pumpkin doesn't taste too good.

Look at this! Slimy!

The finished product. Good job Daddy! And thanks for growing huge pumpkins Grandpa!
