Fall Favorites (2)

Pumpkin Patches and juming in a pile of leaves is another fall favorite of ours around the Ver Strate household. We visited Paul's market in Apple Valley with some friends and picked out a few pumpkins to decorate this month and had some fun in the leaves this weekend!! 

Pink Fire Trucks

Who said fire trucks could only be painted in Red?!!???
We made it out to Home Depot today for the kids workshop, the theme was fire safety. They had the Eagan fire dog there, fire trucks out for the kids to see and the kids put on their aprons and built a wooden fire truck and painted it as well.  Addison decided to build the new future of fire trucks...and they come in the colors of Pink with a mix of Yellow in it!!!

A few weeks ago we celebrated our beautiful lil' girl's 2nd birthday!! She had sooo much fun!

 

Since Addison loves to build and destroy towers and her favorite characters are from Sesame Street we decided to go wih an Elmo and Cookie Monster Construction theme. 

helping daddy set up for the party!

the kids got to decorate their very own hard hat to wear around the construction zone!

the kids bounced and bounced and bounced and just kept bouncing, the parents had to drag the kids out of there:)

after a few tries mommy and daddy made the perfect cookie monster cake for our little construction builder!
