Ramblings: October 2009

We took Kay and George over to Copenhagen while they were here. Took them on a canal boat cruise. They said they really enjoyed it, but they probably would have enjoyed it a little more if it weren't so cold...

Tipton and Dave on the train on the way to Copenhagen.

Dave and his dad went out one day to play around with Dave's new camera. Here are some of the results...

View from the end of our street (towards the right) of the Oresund Bridge.

The Turning Torso in west harbor in Malmö - the tallest building in all of Scandanavia.

George in front of the Turning Torso.

The Turning Torso looks different from every angle. Pretty freaky. Pretty cool, too.

There were great piles of what we thought were potatoes, but what we now think were sugar beets, all over the place out where we live. Huge, giant piles. Everywhere.

Picking out pumpkins.

Pumpkins carved & decorated.

Tipton's class at school has gotten too big to invite all of them over for a Halloween party. So this year he just chose a few close friends to invite over. It was fun making the food for the party. My favorite? Jello worms.

Jenn eating a jello worm. Mmmmmmmmmmm - they slide right down!

Our house has several doors that lead to the outside. So we stationed a grownup at each door and had the children run around the house, stopping at each door, to trick-or-treat. They loved it!

Lilli helped me bake cookies for the halloween party. Lilli loves to help, and loves to bake.

Tipton was Annikan Skywalker, Lego Mini-figure for Halloween. Lilli was Skeleton Girl. I made Tipton's costume. He and Lilli helped me to paint the box black. Sadly, I did not have time to make him a cape.
