After trick-or-treating at Papa and Nana's house we went home to our house to have some dinner. I brought home two little pumpkins for Sophia from school which she enjoyed very much!
Sophia had some dinner and then opened her Halloween cards. She loved that she coul do it all by herself.
Then we got ready to head outside. Hal took Sophia to two houses on our street and then I took her around to the rest. She had such a great time going to all of the houses and seeing all the kids. Our new neighborhood has TONS of kids!! Here are some pictures from trick-or-treating.

After we got home Sophia dumped her treat bag out on the carpet to check out what she got. I was amazed at all the great candy she got. I told her she could pick one treat. She chose a sucker.
Then it was off to bed for her. She was quite tired as I don't think she had a nap at all on Friday.
Saturday we got up bright and early for Gopher Homecoming. We had a wonderful time. First we went to the IT Alumni Breakfast.
After we had breakfst, we headed outside for the homecoming parade. Sophia had a great time watching everything go by.
Along the parade route we ran into a huge Gopher and the clan from the Winter Carnival.

Sophia's second time meeting a Vulcan
We walked around campus for a bit and went to the bookstore. Then we headed out. We stopped at Macy's on the way home to look for a sectional and found one that we loved. So we got it. It is going to be delievered on Saturday. We're quite thrilled.
After that, we got home, had a quick lunch, and then headed to the Mall of America. I had to go and pick up Sophia's Christmas dress. She found a cute hat at Nordstroms that she just loved. It had a puppy face on it. We bypassed the hat as she already has one and moved on. In the mall, they were giving out free bags of chips. Sophia decided she wanted to try them. They are Ketchup flavored chips by Old Dutch. Last weekend Hal and I were daring each other to eat one as they also gave them away at the Monster Dash. Well needless to say, we didn't eat them, but Sophia loved them!

We finished up at the mall and then headed home so Sophia could have a nap. She ended up sleeping in the car and didn't want to go down when we got home. So we played toys for a bit together. Then we went downtown St. Paul for our second Gopher encounter. The hockey team was playing at the Excel Center. We went to Great Waters Brewing Company for dinner. Sophia had mini corn dogs which she loved. Hal had a spicy cajun burger which he said was super spicy. It must have been because he can really tolerate the spice. I had a portabella sandwich that was amazing. We both agreed that we really love having dinner there. The food is just wonderful!
Then we went home and got ready for bed. We were all tired from a long day. This morning Sophia got up bright and early. Apparently nobody told her that we got an extra hour of sleep. So we were all up quite early. We played toys and colored pictures. Then I got to go to the Community Center to run. When I got back, Sophia and I read books. We all got ready for the day and headed our sepearte ways. Sophia and I ran some errands and Hal went to watch the football game. What a busy weekend! More later if time allows.....
