The Ladies of the House

So the girls and I were within 3 minutes of walking out the door to go to Sam's Club. (Mom, Shanna, and I were going on our annual Halloween candy run), when out of the bedroom comes these two ladies dressed to the nines. I had to laugh because of the way they were prancing around, so proud of their ensembles. So we took a quick picture, then we were off to the store. By the way the candy run was a huge success. We were all a little sick afterwards.

Halloween Decorations

We decorated for Halloween tonight during FHE. We don't have a lot of decorations really, but thought we'd post a few of our favorites.















The bugs still creep Syd and Brynn out pretty good. At least they'll reluctantly touch them this year. Last year they hated going to the grocery store because there was a large rubber spider on a display by the milk.


As for the ghost. He reacts to loud noises. So the girls love shouting (somehow even more than usual) to set him off. While Syd know exactly what he is, she still doesn't like going near him when he is howling.

Maiden (and only) Voyage

Sydney made a boat from a cardboard egg carton.


















Unfortunately, as you can see, the boat wasn't as water tight as she hoped.











Fortunately she was still smiling when she wadded it up.

Introducing Number 3

No name yet. No gender yet. But due in April.

First Day of Preschool for Brynn

Brynn had her first day of preschool last Wednesday and her second today. She kept trying to get Mindy to take her early because she couldn't wait. I know she is having fun but all I've been able to get out of her is that she had crackers for a snack last week and animal cookies today. The rest just seems to be a blur.

Ballerina Princesses

What more can I say?

Slip 'N Slide

Shawn's brother Bart and his wife Katie gave the girls a slip 'n slide for their birthdays. While their cousin Ian was up visiting, we pulled it out and they all had a blast.

Not the most aggresive bunch of slip 'n slidders I've seen, but they'll do.
