autumn

Tis the season for Oktoberfest beer

and using up all of our seasonal produce.

The first weekend in October we headed down to the cities. We saw Wilco at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium with Mike's 'rents. It was fanfrickintastic! Such an awesome show. Wilco & Gomez are my two favorite bands to see live. Wilco played for 2 1/2 hours!
The next day we ran some errands in the cities and stopped at Surdyks for their wine sale but came home with some beer and cheese instead:

That evening we went out for Mike and Jake's birthdays to Meritage restaurant in St. Paul. The food was excellent. The fellas tried pistachio crusted Foie Gras and Oysters on the half shell for apps. Mike said the Foie Gras at Meritage (St. Paul) kicked Blackbird's (Chicago) butt.

On our last day in the cities, we got to hang out with this cutie pie:

Sienna is now 2 years old. She and I made banana bread for a snack. She had a blast getting full of flour and cracking eggs and she loved licking the spoons:)

We don't have much planned between now and Thanksgiving. Enjoy autumn!
