Happy Halloween!!!

We had a fun filled day for Halloween. Emily was suppose to be a mummy but my lack of sewing ability sent me to the store at the last minute for a new costume and she was thrilled with it. So, Emily was a leopard cat and Amanda was a fairy. The wild one was a witch and Meg was a princess for about 2 seconds. We went trick-or-treating with cousins and friends and believe it or not, it was rather warm but still lots of fun.

Pumpkin Patch

We were finally able to get to the pumpkin patch and it was a beautiful day. It is really starting to look and feel like fall (a few days have even felt like winter). We did the annual all you can carry for $20 and that got us 8 pumpkins. We never seem to find the time to carve them but hopefully this year we will get it done.

Abby

She started off so cute and adorable we couldn't say no to bringing her home. She was just a ball of sweet lovable fur. Now, still cute and adorable but also a challenge. You forget how much work a puppy is, they are really like having another child. Abby is no exception. When she decides she wants to get up she whines and barks until someone lets her out, this is usually between 3am-6am. And becareful if you get up in the night, she will think it is time to get up. She has also learned to jump the fence leaving us to worry everytime we put her in the yard. Even with the challenges we still love her and are glad to have her. The girls expecially enjoy her and she loves everything about them. She plays more than Meg ever did and has more energy than any of us. She is 10 months old now and every so often I can see signs that she is learning but I wonder if she will ever fully learn how to behave. Enjoy some updated pictures of the crazy pup!!

Just for the record.....I have never allowed animals on the furniture but keeping Abby off the sofa is a full time job. Like I said, maybe someday she will learn and until then, we keep enforcing the rules.

Pretty Amanda!

Amanda was going to a friends house for a playdate and just too cute!! I had to capture the moment and share.

Drive In Movies!!!

I am a bit slow in posting lately. A few weeks ago we decided to take our kids to the Drive-In movies. Our area just opened a brand new place that is wonderful and lots of fun. If you are local, check it out!!! It was fun for the girls and a great way to share some of our childhood memories.

We put the girls in their pj's so they could sleep in the van after the first movie. You get a double feature each night!! It was a family outing and a date night all in the same activity, and not very expensive either.
