Oktoberfest!!!

It is finally FALL!!! This is my favorite season! On Saturday we went to Oktoberfest in St. Charles. Yes, they have Oktoberbest the last weekend in September, why? Who knows? But it was fun and we even talked Daddy into going with us! It is nice to have him home on the weekends! Ollie got to paint his own pumpkin and bounce as much as he wanted. We even saw Bruce, the magician (the one from El Maguey). He was doing a show in the children's area!

Ollie got a ghost painted on his face!

Afterwards we went to Red Lobster for an early dinner and stuffed our faces - it was awesome!

Sunday morning we went to Sunday School and the Kindergarteners brought out their health care kits during the offering in front of the whole church!

After Sunday School we went to Walmart to pick up some food for a last minute BBQ and to pick out a "prize" for Ollie. He got his 10 stickers (1 each day) from his teacher. While we were looking in the toy section we saw Nathan and his Dad. They were looking for a prize too. Then the trip to Walmart turned into an extended stay. Ollie & Nathan were running around showing each other "cool" toys and trying to decide what they would pick. Ollie finally picked out (wait for it...) a new Batman & Joker action figures! How many Batman & Joker's can one little boy have?

Later, for dinner, we BBQ'd and Papa, Grandma Pati, Aunt Erin, Uncle Kevin, Ivy, John & Paula came over. Today was Paula's birthday! Happy Birthday Paula and thanks for celebrating with us!

Ollie was playing Angry Birds on Papa's phone and apparently he is pretty good at it!

Ivy is really into babies. She is a little mommy! She takes after her Aunt Jen :)

Aunt Erin is helping Ollie with a Spongebob picture. It is sticky and comes with different colors of sand. The sand sticks to it to make it pretty. Just wait for Ivy to get a little older and I am going to start buying her messy toys!

What a great weekend and as usual over too soon. Tomorrow we are back to work & school.
