Happy Halloween





Sula got dressed up as a dragonfly pixie tonight and went trick-or-treating with her papa. Later she helped pass out candy and discovered that it was a convenient way to eat even more candy. I think she fell deeply in love with sweet tarts tonight. Good thing mom and dad have a plan to get all the the candy out of the house by tomorrow morning (we did leave Sula a tiny little stash but shhhh don't tell her).


And look who came over later to say hello. It is our buddy Charlie!

Happy 10th Birthday Mouse

Mouse- also known as Lau Shu Scopatoni Blizzminio- turns 10 today! To celebrate I gave him salmon for dinner and then offered him a catnip stogie, after all he is the boss around here!

That was then....2000.

This is now!

Well, Nila is always trying to get me to post on the blog and I rarely do. I just upgraded my iMovie software from iMovie '09 to '11 and have been trying to try it out. I made this video when the president visited recently and we happened to be in the right place at the right time to "see" him.

"We Are, Penn State!"



Thank you Barb and Doug for the tickets to the UM - PSU game! We had a blast and really annoyed the people sitting around us as we bickered about who is the best team. We all know who is the best- PSU!

Catching up

It has been one crazy month and I am way behind- on everything. Please forgive as I work on updating the many, many posts. I am also working on making our Picasa web album more secure and private to this blog. Stay tuned for more updates soon.

Peak Color

The trees have reached their peak color and so it is time for another Hines family tradition, a visit to the U of M Landscape Arboretum.

Apples, pumpkins, and corn- Oh My!



I just love autumn in Minnesota! One of our favorite spots during the season is Pine Tree Apple Orchard in White Bear Lake. As we walked through the orchard on our way to the pumpkin patch, Sula wanted to touch each apple and take a bite.
