Halloween 2012: Trick or Treat Fun!

My two princesses! Snow White (almost 3) & Ariel (6).  We decided not to wear the red Ariel wig.They enjoyed going door-to-door almost as much as they liked passing out the candy!They love their daddy!  He walked w/ the girls around the block again this year! (w/ neighbor, Billy)

All Saints Parade

Regan was Saint Elizabeth again this year for her All Saints Parade.  This was the 1st year that I attended. Note the more elaborate costumes - compared to my scarf and pillow case! :)Happy Halloween from the four of us!

Pumpkin Carving

We started this project on Sunday evening. Christopher cleaned out the big pumpkin for me - and then declared that the creative stuff was my job. Ha! Morgan wanted nothing to do w/ pumpkin carving.

Where's the Boat?

We early VOTED yesterday!  Both of the girls went with us - and both got to push the red "cast ballot" button for Christopher and me.  We have been discussing this election as well as the citizen's right to vote with the girls - I actually read an article by Mrs. Obama on the importance of having your children see you vote. Regan said that she'd vote against Obama because he doesn't like ice cream! :)  After we cast our VOTE, I told Morgan that we were done - & she asked, "but where is the BOAT??" :)

Sisterly Love ~ !

They wanted their picture taken!! I couldn't resist that opportunity!!

Friday Pre-Halloween Fun!

Morgan's school had a Halloween parade on Friday.  Her class theme was: "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish"!  Unfortunately, I couldn't attend, but left my camera for photos! (w/ Reese in red)Regan attended "Parents Night Out" at Rowland Ballard Gymnastics.  [Only for us, Regan likes a parent to stay during the 2 1/2 hour play!]  The kids had to dress up, yet still be able to do gymnastics! This was the best I could do! Morgan just insisted on being in the picture showing off her new "princess" shirt!

Morgan ~ Sweet Pics!

Morgan's school picture.  Yes, same favorite dress! :)

Love artwork that includes little hands!!

Pumpkin Patch Visit #2

My birthday weekend (yes, that's me w/o make-up!).  My parents visited & we tried another visit to the Pumpkin Patch. About the same results. These are Regan & Morgan's favorite weekend dresses!We LOVE the Pumpkin Patch!  Fun times ~ !

Horseback Riding

Regan enjoyed a day off from school on Oct 15 (teacher in-service).  Christopher found a Groupon deal and purchased a guided "Trail ride for 2" - it was Regan's first horseback riding experience! Loved it!

Pumpkin Patch 2012 (Visit #1)

I  remember when the girls were babies and the Pumpkin Patch visits were fun -  :)The girls were all in favor of pictures when I handed the camera to them!

Fall Festival @ St. Martha's

Regan loves to climb these days - any rope will do! She tried her 1st rock climb at the Fall Festival!

Weekend Fun!

Sept 29. Fun in the rain!

Oct 6.  Outside fun at Reese's b-day party, but no smiles for the camera (w/ Brendon)! Morgan loved the layered rainbow jello - Reese's mom told me that she had to wait 15 minutes between layers!  :)Regan's "I'm Glad I'm Me" classroom activity.  I couldn't capture her self portrait, but liked the rhyme.1st grade. I'm amazed at what they are learning & the amount of work that they do each week! Religion class. The benefit of a Catholic school. The twins mom stopped me today to say that the class is preparing for All Saints Day.  Each year, Albert & Cecilia dress as "their" saint.  Albert asked his mom if there was a Saint Regan! :)  I said that the best we could do was dress as St Elizabeth!
