Not So Scary Halloween Program



Abigail had her halloween program today and she was adorable! Although she was a little off key and sung at a different tempo than her classmates, she had a big grin on her face while she sung her little heart out. I love Abigail for having no inhabitions, for which I envy her. I never worry that she is going to see me and start crying or become extremely shy. Instead, as soon as she finds her family she smiles and is comfortable performing for all.

We also carved pumpkins tonight. Both the girls enjoyed it and they are looking forward to eating the baked seeds tomorrow.

Fall Festivies











Today was a great day to be outside and enjoy the much needed sunshine -and that's just what we did. We went to a church family fun day and had fun carving pumpkins, eating hot dogs, and running in an open field with other children. Sarah loved eating cheetoes and Abigail loved painting a carving pumpkin. They both also enjoyed meeting new friends and playing in the dirt. To top off the afternoon and to keep the girls awake we treated them to an ice cream sundae. What a fun afternoon!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday. Abigail was so excited she couldn't sleep at naptime...she fell asleep as soon as we left the neighborhood. We got there and the sun finally popped out and the girls were awake and excited and then we realized we forgot the CAMERA! I was so disappointed but I had some consolation in the fact that Sarah wouldn't have taken a good picture...she didn't like all the people and didn't want to get in the pile of pumpkins. Both the girls seemed overwhelmed by the crowds but fully enjoyed riding the ponies, in fact Abigail has added a pony to her christmas list. I think that is a grandparent gift right? Sarah loved the pony she would wave and softly say "hi dada" with a big smile on her face as we went around and around. Well I guess we will be going back to the pumpkin patch next weekend so we can get some pictures.

Modern Babies


Today was another cold and wet day. The girls spent almost everyday outside this summer especially in the evenings. However for the last week and a half or longer we've been inside due to illness and rain. They are having to re-learn how to play with one another indoors all day. Tonight they chased Josh around the house, painted, danced and talked on skype to Aunt Emily, yet the activity that consumed their time the most was talking and playing on our cellphones.

Indoor Family Fun

This week we spent a lot of family time together, trying to all become 100% healthy. We have been able to play games, do puzzles, dance to Christmas music, and we even were able to get Abigail's hair in a pony tail! Sarah has also found her number one book, Hop on Pop. This was Abigail's favorite as well so needless to say we can read that book with our eyes shut. Even Abigail can almost read the entire book. Maybe that is where Dr. Suess came up with the title of his book I Can Read With My Eyes Shut. Sarah will not let me read the last page of the book; she will turn the book back to the beginning therefore it is the book that never ends.

Fighting a virus











Abgail started to run a fever yesterday. Thankfully she only complains of being cold and that her mouth hurts. She keeps telling me that it is cold in this house. I know she is sick because she normally can't keep still and she will not take naps. But today while I was sorting through Pampered Chef boxes she voluntarily layed on the couch and fell asleep... poor Abigail! I don't like seeing her like this but at the same time she is so sweet and cuddly. She really can't stand that she is sick because she wants to go outside and play with her friends, she also keeps asking "where are we going?" We might have to go get some ice cream so the poor child can go some where. We were going to go to a preschool fundraiser tonight that I know she would of loved but thankfully I don't think she remembers it. While Abigail was sleeping Josh took Sarah outside to play. She loves having one on one time with us. Josh is such a great husband and father, always trying to help out and creating happy memories with his children. He truly blesses our lives. Here are some pictures he took of her while they were out there.
