Happy Halloween!

The girls has so much fun trick-or-treating tonight. They did last year, but weren't really into it. This year....oh yeah...they knew how to go about getting the candy! After several houses, Molly even got the hang of it. We came up to Brian's parent's house because they get lots of trick-or-treaters. Last year, they had 310 and this year it was only 202!! My mother-in-law starts buying candy at the beginning of October.

Dance Party

Today during both of the girl's dance classes, they put on a little Halloween dance and then had a party. The girls were so excited to wear their costumes "before" Halloween.

During Molly's dance class, the teacher asked them to do a pose that represented what they were dressed up as...not sure what these two poses were, but they were certainly "Molly!"

Jesus Loves Me

Beautiful Rainbows

Macy has really been drawing a lot of rainbows lately. Anytime she can draw, color, or paint, that is what she chooses to draw. Today when I picked her up from Sunday School, the teacher pointed me to this beautiful painting. I know as a parent, we all think our children's drawings are wonderful...but this one just blew me away. It was one of the best pictures I have ever seen her do. I was so proud!

Fall Festival

Every year, my sister-in-law's school has a Fall Festival with lots of games, food, and tons of fun! The girls had so much fun last year that we just couldn't miss it this year. They played all sorts of games. Molly loved the "jumping thing" the best. She got to jump for 4 minutes!!

Then, they wanted to get their face painted. I remember that Molly wouldn't let them do it last year.

The one game that we tried to avoid was the fish bowl toss...which had a prize of a goldfish. We didn't want anymore fish...but we weren't going to tell the girls no either. So, we got the fish. Who do you think carried around those fish? Yes, me and Brian. We kept praying they would jump out! Well...they didn't...until Molly accidentally knocked them over while we were eating. The poor fish were flopping all over the table. Brian's aunt, Mary Jane, quickly grabbed the glass as we put the fish back in and said "I'll go get water!" When she came back, I looked at the glass and thought, that doesn't look right. She had put water in the glass from the ice bucket where the drinks were. Those poor little fish were in shock. I told her that I was pretty sure she had killed them. I was actually very thankful! She rushed off and said she was going to "resuscitate" them. She came back and those stinkin fish were alive and swimming around. I couldn't believe it.

Fun at the Park

After dealing with rain all last week and not being able to play outside, the girls were becoming stir crazy. The weather said it was going to be a beautiful day and what better way to celebrate than play outside at the park. I called some friends and we met at the park. The kids fed the ducks, ate lunch and played hard! They had so much fun together.

Farmer Day at School

Macy's class had "farmer day" at school today and had a little fall party. All of the kids looked so cute dressed with their hats and boots and jeans. Macy didn't have a whole lot to choose from (as she doesn't normally dress like that) but I remembered she had a pair of overalls. Not sure that she will wear them again as they were highwaters on her. Molly didn't have a theme that day of what to wear, I just wanted to put her picture in here because I thought she looked so cute!

Delicious Ribs

Brian has been off this week and has been cooking every day. I certainly am not going to complain about that. Today, he smoked ribs all afternoon. They were absolutely incredible...even Molly loved them. Down to the last bite...literally.
