Both girls and mom were sick twice - we had just cleared up the first round of sickies and then it hit again - luckily the second round was better, but still NOT fun. Dad was lucky enough to escape the cooties, but he had to put up with all of us!
We did manage to make it to the pumpkin patch one Saturday morning. The girls had a great time riding the merry go round (Em loved it, Allie screamed the whole time!) and the choo choo train! Then we were off to pick out the perfect pumpkins. Em weighed as much as her I think and Allie's was the size of an apple - okay, MAYBE a grapefruit! After the patch we stopped for a tasty meal of quesadillas and tacos as well as much need margaritas for mom and dad!!
Don't they look HAPPY???
Halloween seemed to sneak up on us this year - luckily we were prepared with costumes weeks ahead of time - and NOBODY changed their minds on what they wanted to be - the only glitch was the weather! Em's school has a parade on campus every year, so Jim brought them over and we got them dressed and took them to the parade. The girls weren't too sure about having to be around so many strangers, but Allie jumped right in and Em hung back a bit. Once they realized that they were both getting treats, they warmed up to the whole concept! We ran into Em's friend Mahika and her Mom so we were able to snap a picture of all 3 girls!
Allie as Minnie Mouse
Em as Cinderella
Mahika as a Bee, Allie as Minnie and Em as Cinderella
That evening we went trick or treating with our cousin Madi, who was a cute Devil - it was cut a bit short, due to the downpour that we got stuck in!
