Busy weekend

This weekend was full of activities for myself and baby boy.  Saturday we made the trek down to Mankato to hang out with Uncle Troy for family weekend at MNSU.  We started out with the carnival, Hudson was so excited he went running over to the activites on his little toes. 

Ring toss game....


This way is easier :)




Again he found the easier way to do it :)


Enjoying his sucker


Watching the cheerleaders with Uncle Troy.

After the carnival we grabbed some lunch and then headed back to the hotel where I attempted to put Hudson down for his nap, fail.  So we decided to head over to the student center for bowling.

At first Hudson was really excited about it......


Waiting for our turn.....

But then tired boy turned into a crabby boy so we decided to head home where he fell asleep within 5 minutes of being in the car.

Sunday morning we headed to the Mall of America to meet Katie for a walk and some caribou.  We also decided to check out Nick Universe and take Hudson on some rides.


Riding the trucks, he really does it enjoy though his facial expression may say otherwise.


We then stopped at legoland for a bit.  Hudson getting the legos himself :)

After a nice little nap at home, we decided to do some painting.


Hudson's masterpiece


Playing with legos again


Eating dinner ;)

What a busy but fun weekend!

Happy Halloween!

This year we decided Mickey Mouse was a must for a costume :)  I started searching for a costume a few months prior with little to no luck.  Last month I went to a big consigment sale in Lakeville and at the last minute I decided to check out the halloween costumes.  I really lucked out as I was able to find a Disney store Mickey Mouse costume in 18-24 months for only $25!!!! 

We started out the afternoon with some pumpkin carving with Papa Flategraff :)



From there we headed over to the MN Zoo for some trick or treating



Pluto joined us for some Halloween fun :)




We were able to get a quick family picture.  I think next year we will have to do a group costume :)



Hudson needed to see the big bull before we left



From there we headed back to Nana & Papa Flategraff's for some pictures with our pumpkins


Love this picture!


Before we headed out for some more trick or treating, we needed to fuel up with the Pumpkin pizza :)



After some yummy pizza we met up with Lily for some trick or treating



So cute!
