Trick or Sweet!

Emmie dressed up for Halloween this year as a little bumblebee... We took her to the law school down in Bloomington for some good ol' fashioned trick-or-treating. As you can see from the pictures below, she made out like a bandit!

So basically what you're saying is that if I run around this place

dressed silly I'll get candy? Sign me up!

Who puts wrappers on candy? Seriously... slows me down.

Okay, take my picture - I'll just help myself to a little more candy.
Yes, two handfuls should do the trick...




I can't imagine why my parents haven't given me lollipops before, they seem like such fun!

Hmm... could use a little refill. Can we go again?

Lego time!

Here are some pictures from the Lego discovery center in Schaumburg, Illinois. I think Daddy had more fun than the rest of us, but here you go:

Here's a little lego city.

Wonder what the rent is like?


Emmie suddenly realizes that she doesn't know whether
lego tigers are any less dangerous than regular tigers....

Here's Emmie testing her creation out to see if it can withstand an earthquake.





Apparently Daddy needs some advice as to what piece to use. Yellow, in case you're wondering.

Pumpkin Post

Before it got too cold here, we took Emerson to a local orchard with a pumpkin patch. Here are some pictures of the adventure:

Hmm... those look like apples...

Okay, that looks like corn... where are the pumpkins?







Aha! Some pumpkins :)

Maybe you eat them?

I'll take a snack-sized one if that's OK...

Ok, look... just hold it for a sec, k? Really, I'll carry it the rest of the time...

This is more like it - let someone else do the picking!
