Two days before Halloween and the girls ask, “Are we going to get pumpkins?” Of course we are! And of course we headed to our favorite spot: Peter’s Pumpkins and Carmen’s Corn. Jeff passes this place on his way to and from work daily and we love seeing Anna’s former Spanish teacher, Carmen when we visit.

OK, so maybe Anna is a bit big for a wagon ride.

Ellie is a much better size (at least yet this year) for Jeff to pull.

Not so fond of this odd-shaped pumpkin. It went back.

Jeff and Ellie headed one way looking for the perfect pumpkin.

While Anna headed another way.

Here’s the one Ellie liked.

Anna picked this one.

And Ellie needed a second one for her doll this year.

Girls among the pumpkins.

Jeff and the girls and pumpkins.

Carmen and Anna. Carmen was Anna’s Spanish teacher for six years.

Another cool crisp fall morning in Minnesota a another chance for the MVC All Stars to support a great cause. This past weekend it was “Stepping Out to Stop Diabetes”.

The girls in their new warm up sure look sharp!

“Madonna” of the St. Paul Saints had to show off her moves to the girls.

A quick jog to keep warm.

Our super coaches: Melissa, Sarah, Krisan and Stephanie.

Anna and Morgan doing what they do best: dancing.

The group got the crowd warmed up with some music by Radio Disney.

Coercing Madonna into meeting Gordy.

They meet at last…

TC stopped by for some bear hugs.

He also wanted to pose with the girls.

Gordy of the Minnesota Wild got the kids ready for the fun run.
