Happy Hallow

The other day when we were both off work we decided to go over to the west side for lunch and a trip to the park(happy hallow park). We decided to grab some food and make a little picnic. Courtney and I got gyros. I've been craving them and when your on the west side you can't go wrong with The Parthenon. The kids had McDonalds. So we packed up our bags and headed west, just like the pioneers.
It was such a nice autumn day, sunny not too hot. Just a nice day. We got to happy hallow and lots of others had our idea(well maybe not get gyros but to go to the park). So we had our lunch and headed to the playground. Aedan likes running around and going down sliding down the curly slide. Ella likes grabbing mulch and walking around. Ella also likes to follow Aedan and do what Aedan does. Aedan does not like Ella following him around or playing with what his is playing with. This is were the fun begins. But on this occasion all of the McGurrs were good. Ella likes going down the slide but doesn't like to show it.
We were lucky enough to get a picture of the two kids on a bouncy alligator. Ella prefers to ride without Aedan. Well were all getting a little warm from playing and running around.

Well goodbye for now. We hope to have pictures from picking out pumpkins. And Halloween is not too far around the corner.

Back to Cool, I mean school

This past week Aedan started Pre-school at Jack and Jill. He's been a night owl for most of his life but for the last few weeks he has been going to bed by nine(his new bed time). He was a little nervous because of all the new faces but he had a great time and likes to go back. This first look is him with his backpack going to his first day of school. He's got the same look i had for most of my life going to school or for that fact waking up earlier than i want.
When back to school comes around it means one thing-football. Being a Purdue alum I'm a boilermaker fan. I also try to brainwash my children to like what i like. Here is Ella dressed up as a boilermaker cheerleader, a present she got from my Dad. I'm not sure if Ella likes football but i know she likes spending time with me(watching football).
This picture is a from a little bit ago. Piercing blue eyes like her brother and father.
This last photo is from a couple years ago. this is one of Courtney's favorite. It's taken at Purdue behind the Union on the mounds. It almost looks like Aedan is floating. The McGurrs say good look to you all going to school and Go Boilers.
