Halloween

I've been informed that I'm slaking a bit on the blog. My apologies, but life always seems hectic lately. I've also discovered Facebook, which is a different story. I've been able to keep up with my 3 nieces better this way than with Beth's lengthy weekly updates at her blog! I find it amazing how one can one have over 700 'friends' and over 700 pictures of one's self! I guess I'm getting old!

We went trick or treating in Evie's neighborhood yesterday and ours will be on Friday night. The pics are actually from before their daycare party. It was a lot warmer that day!

Bella the cheerleader and Lucy the scaaarrrry spider!

Can you tell that Lucy just loves her costume?! The hat doesn't stay on for long. I made the poms for Bella and think they turned out pretty good. She loves them. In fact, yesterday we made her wear her cow costume from last year because it was so cold and she had to bring the poms with :)




Carving pumpkins.
And our fall walk through Minooka park (this must have been 2 weekends ago). We took the dogs to the dog park there and had so much fun. Pasta and Shadow were well behaved and Bella and Lucy loved petting all the different kinds of dogs there.

sick

Bella has thrown up 4 times this morning. I haven't even gotten dressed yet and its almost noon. I can't complain too much as Bella tries to get to the toilet in time, and actually made it the first 2 times - much more than I would expect from a 3 yr old. The floors got a good mopping which they needed anyway. Now I'm scared of the 3 raisins she ate earlier - everything she eats eventually comes up.


She finally is sleeping on the couch. Lucy is also sleeping. Hopefully she's not getting sick too. She threw up twice over the weekend so I'm hoping she's done with it. Its kind of unusual for her to have a morning nap though. Ahhh..... we're just gearing up for the winter full of sicknesses!



From happier, healthier, and warmer days (2 days ago!):

October fun

Our trip to the pumpkin farm. I guess I didn't get any pictures of the actual pumpkins though! Bella loved the games and jumpy ball house things. Lucy went in a ball crawl too and at first she liked it, but then she got stuck and couldn't move!

Lucy feeding some goats. She was a little too excited about it!

The same cut out pic that we got last year.

Besides our big outings, here are some other things we find fun:

Supervising the dogs eating,

Getting sticker rewards (bribes) for taking naps

Messy art projects

and climbing up Dad
