Halloween 2011

The girls both dressed up as smurfette this year.  They had a smurf nose as well but it was too big and we had no way for it to stay on their nose!!  They had fun no less!!  They got a lot of compliments!!

YMCA trick-or-treat

The YMCA had a free trick or treat event tonight. Luckily the girls and I got there 10 min early (to when the doors were to open) so we went ahead and walked in and boy, am I glad we did for within 10 min after we got there, it was PACKED!!!  They had some fun games for the kids, no candy just little trinkets.  Mike and Jason from the Nadas played a few songs from their new kids CD.  It was a fun night. We also ran into Haydn's friend from preschool, Lili and her brother Tate.

Haydn's class party

I helped with Haydn's Halloween party today. I didn't get a lot of pictures because I was manning the pin the nose on the pumpkin.

ghost cookies

I saw this snack on another blog I check and thought it would be fun to do with the girls today. Haydn helped me till the end, usually it is the other way around!!  Now our ghosts didn't turn out as "pretty" as the pictures but I think ours were created with more love!! 

 this is what the girls LOVE to eat in any given moment of the day! Yes, they both had some today for an afternoon snack along with ghost cookies!!  A jar can be gone in one day!

tired girl

this is how I found Haydn last night when I went to check on her before heading to bed. She was sleeping at the foot of her bed!!  One tired little girl!!

fudge balls

This weekend was Covered Bridge Days. Today we headed down to Winterset to walk around the square for awhile.The girls didn't even want to watch the parade. They  just wanted to get out to Great Grandpa's to collect "fudge balls" is what Haydn calls them .....aka hedge balls.  The girls enjoyed riding in the mule as well.

by Hannah Little

Once apon a time there was three peguins and a giraffe and two relly nice little monkey's.  once they all jumped on a boat and they got TRAPED!!  they did not no each other at all. and they got along very well. after 10 hours they got dropped of in the wild. they did not want to be in the wild they wanted to go to the zoo.  where they could make new friends but they saw a boat it had a note on it. it said it was going to the des moines zoo.  they ran they caught it they got on it. they went to the zoo and they lived happily ever after!

the end!
