New Haircuts

The girls' hair has been getting quite long and unruly lately. So we went to see our fabulous Aunt Ashley. She worked her magic on both Syd and Brynn, and this was the result! They are so cute! The girls love it because they are so styl'in, Shawn loves it because he can now call them "Naked Necks", and I love it because it takes all of three minutes to whip each head to perfection. Thanks Ash! We love you!

A Load in the Pants

So yesterday, Brynn was happily playing with her Little People toys. She came walking into the room, and as she walked, she was making this banging sound. I asked her "What is that sound?" She said, very matter-of-factly, "I wanted to move my animals so I put them up my pants." You can't really tell from the picture, but her pants were indeed bulging with all sorts of little animals.

So after she got to where she was going, we emptied out the pants (you can imagine what that required), and she was indeed carrying quite a, umm, load in her pants!

The Pumpkin Walk

Every year there is a local pumpkin walk in North Logan. People make scenes out of pumpkins, and them they display them at the park. My favorite scene this year was Sesame Street. The girls really liked the character cutouts. Some of them were hilarious. Afterwards we went to McDonalds and got an ice cream cone. I don't know which part was the biggest hit, the pumpkins or the ice cream, but we had a fun day!

Pedicures

Last night (Thursday night) we watched Survivor. Daddy was off at a meeting so I decided we should do something girly. So while we watched Survivor (we LOVE that show), I gave the girls foot rubs and painted their little toenails. They picked their own colors. As you can see, they were going for a multi-colored effect. And watching TV helped them sit still while I painted!

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.
