Happy Halloween

Big surprise, I dressed up the girls as M&M's for Halloween this year.  Cropsey Women's Club had a pumpkin party earlier this week.  They had games and prizes and cupcakes.  Audrey warmed up after 30 minutes and then really enjoyed the musical dots (like musical chairs, except they are just circles on the floor and everyone wins).  Then tonight, despite the rain, we went to a few houses for trick-or-treating.  Audrey was flabbergasted that she got to pick candy from the huge bowls- she didn't believe she got to keep it and thus wouldn't let go of any candy!

Busy weekend

We had a very busy weekend. Gma and Gpa came down with a bunch of trees to plant- which Gpa and Brian planted. Then Brian and I went on a date! Woo-hoo, first time out alone since our anniversary in January (and that was lunch). Sunday we went to celebrate nephews Luke and Tyler getting baptised. They rented a bouncy house and Audrey had a blast. Then stopped at my parents' friends house to dig up some more little trees that are growing wild and this morning Gma and Gpa planted those. Should have quite the forest in 20 years ;)

Brian and Audrey carved a pumpkin.

5 weeks old

With a rainy Saturday and a cold and windy Sunday, we had to get creative this weekend to stay busy. So we busted open the chest with some of my old things in it and had ourselves a tea party.

Smiling!

Audrey had her check-up on Monday. She weighs 23lbs (59th percentile) and is only 26th percentile for height. She is doing great with sleeping in her own bed. Soon we will start potty training. Evelyn is still doing great- becoming a little chunker. She is sleeping a little longer at night - about 4 hours!

Gma and Gpa Taylor stopped by with a cookie for the girls - she devoured it!

Evelyn smiling - such a small action, but makes my day!
