Decorating pumpkins

Sophie and I decided to paint and draw instead of carve this year. Here is one of her masterpieces.

Nalco Halloween Costume Party

Every year, Nalco's Childcare center holds their Halloween Costume party/parade. The teachers dress all of the kids in their costumes and parade them through Nalco's lobby. After the parade, each classroom has a party to celebrate with all the parents. It is truly one of the highlights of the year.

Below are a few pictures from the event:

Rodger's Birthday Trip to the Big Apple

To celebrate Rodger's 40th Birthday, we decided to take a long weekend trip to New York without the girls. We had a wonderful trip with seeing a couple shows (Anything Goes and How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) and visting many wonderful sites throughout the city. Below are a few pictures from our trip:

World Series Ready!!

We decided to show our Cardinal spirit this morning by wearing our jerseys to work/school today in honor of the World Series kicking off this evening. Go Cards!! Here is our picture before walking out the door.

Kuiper's Pumpkin Patch

We joined our friends Bob and Bre, along with their son Lincoln, on a very blustery Saturday morning to enjoy Kuiper's Family farm. If you have never gone and you live in the Chicagoland area, we would strongly recommend the drive. On one side of the street, they have a huge play area for the kids along with hundreds of pumpkins for the picking. On the other, they have a wonderful farmers market with ready to eat pies, pumpkin spice donuts, fresh apples, apple cider, and too many nicnacs to mention.

Here are a couple of pictures from our day.

Guebert Milestone Day!!

Generational Baking

Karen came over this evening to help Valerie make Zucchini bread. Sophie wanted to help so we had to document the three generations making their first baked good together.

We Did it!

Loran and Rodger completed the Chicago Marathon today (First for both)! Both are a little sore but survived without any major injuries. We drove down to the city on Saturday, had dinner at Maggianos, and stayed at the Hyatt Regency on the River. Marathon weekend, a Fitness Expo is hosted at McCormick place and all Marathoners must pick up there packet from there. Valerie and Her Mom and Dad came down as well to cheer everyone on while Rodger's Mom and Dad watched the Girls at home.

Today is pajama day at school! The girls have on their Halloween pj's. Unfortunately no one wanted to smile this early in the morning!!
