October Hodgepodge

Here's what else we've been up to this month.  Parker helping with some chores.

Esme finding "6-7" everywhere.

The lights in our garage are fully working again after a partial outage this summer (thanks dad)!

Parker's soccer season continued.  They didn't get any wins, but are getting better overall.

Grandma and Grandpa Herrmann came to watch in Shakopee.

A tasty chili cook-off at work landed me an award for "most creative"!

Tony won best overall!

Parker and I explored a new store, Lowe's, while Esme was attending a safe at home class.  He really loved the window treatments displays.

Gotta check out the appliances as always and he still asked to go to Menards when we left!

The NFL dips continued. Lawson's Chip Dip copycat with pierogis for Cleveland, cheesesteak dip for Philly, and sweet and sour dip for LA.

Happy Halloween 2025!

Happy Halloween from Mira and Huntr/x!

This was the first year Esme has some friends to go trick or treating with!  We stopped by Winter and Caper's house first and then a few more joined us as we walked the neighborhood.

Esme even caught up with her 3rd grade teacher, Ms. Grey and finished by handing out candy at our house.

What a great haul!

First Scheels Trip

We made our first trip to Scheels!  I somehow just learned they have an indoor ferris wheel that you ride for just a buck!  Talk about a great place to take Parker since he already loves sporting goods stores. This is among sporting goods stores royalty!

It's attached to Eden Prairie mall so we stopped in the food court for dinner.

Then Esme spotted some bungee jumpers and wanted to give it a go!

 

Trunk or Treat 2025

We made a glorious return to hosting a trunk at church this year. In reality, Esme decided 3 days before that we should host a K-Pop Demon Hunters trunk. The wheels started turning quick with what I could pull off in a short time.  Before we finished our drive home, "Golden" came to me.  The dollar tree came in clutch with golden decorations and I cut out some black letters.

Here is a look at some of the other displays.

It was another beautiful day in the 60s. I was ever worried we might get sunburned.  Esme did a great job handing out candy to the thousands of visitors.
