Halloween fun

Yesterday we carved pumpkins. Caylin requested a cinderella pumpkin and Aiana carved her own. Anika did not want anything to do with them other than just watch.

After carving we seasoned up the seeds and roasted them.

We then got ready for Caylin's school hat parade. She and Anika painted with sponges and glitter. After all her hard work, she had a night of terrible sniffles and it was decided that she was going to have to miss school. So Mimi saved the day and said she would come over to watch a hat parade here at our house! I quickly made Anika's hat so she could march with Caylin in the parade. Caylin was so excited and forgot all about school. She marched all around the front yard.

Back to school night

Back to school night fell on a very busy weekend. But we were able to make it long enough to check out Caylin's cool classroom. She loves school again this year and is learning so much. She comes home every week teaching us new sign language and songs. I love how proud she is to show us around.

Sunbutter lover

She may not be able to have peanuts but she loves sunbutter!

Mother daughter tea

Aiana's small group had a mother daughter tea the other night. All the moms and daughters got together for a Mary K facial party. It was such a pleasure to be out with my big girl. I love her so very much!!!

Pumpkin Patch

Well I didn't make it out to the patch I wanted to visit because it was just too darn hot. So we settled for a local patch that was at least better than a parking lot pumpkin patch. But still very hot and dusty. But the girls enjoyed a tractor ride and a corn maze where Caylin was amuzed by the corn.

Thank goodness for our neighborhood cat...

Because mama will not get a cat, but the girls love cats and dogs. So I just let them love on the neighbors animals. They love Tiger who comes to visit everyday.

When we want a quick getaway

We go for a walk in our backyard.
