October Wrap-Up

As is typical these days, October seemed to pass by very quickly! I have been trying to be intentional about taking pictures around the house and of regular things, not just on special occasions. Here are a few that I found on my phone!

"Look Mom, I'm feeding my kitty!"

This looks like trouble!

We spent a Saturday at Grandma and Grandpa's house crafting. Ben and Kelsey came up from Seattle (Ben went biking with a friend) and we made fall wreaths, I started the girls Halloween costumes and Kelsey did some quilting.

Cousins are so fun to play with!

Annaliese has been fighting a cold for awhile so rest time has meant sleeping...I took this picture to prove to her that she was sucking her thumb!

Grandma made this outfit for Annaliese...it just barely fits Lydia now. I'm not so sure about the hat...

Happy Halloween 2016

We started our Halloween celebrations on Saturday by going to Redeemer Lutheran Church, where Grandma Tara works, for their Trunk-or-Treat event. It rained hard all day long but, thankfully, the rain stopped and the sun came out just in time for the event! Everyone had fun dressing up, eating a few snacks, making a few crafts, and playing a few games! The girls dressed up as The Three Little Pigs...they each wore a pink tutu, pink leggings, and pig ears. The pig noses were optional:) Annaliese had a basket of straw, Haleigh's candy basket was decorated with bricks, and Lydia had a bunch of sticks to complete the costume!

We continued our Halloween festivities on Halloween by hosting a Glow Station with our small group from church. Church provides glow sticks, candy and hot chocolate and encourages people to hand out candy in their neighborhood. There was a great turnout and we all had a good time together!

 The girls were excited to wear their Three Little Pigs costumes again and they came home with a good supply of candy. Annaliese has already asked when we get to do it again!
