Perfect Fall Day

It is a BEAUTIFUL Fall day here today, it is 72 but feels A LOT warmer. The girls and I headed to a park in Clive that we have been to once before. What a PERFECT day to play outside. I believe tomorrow is to be as nice!

Haydn and I headed to our small neighborhood playground this afternoon. It is going to be a beautiful weekend here, weather wise. Will be in the 70's!! YEA!

Trick-or-Treating

Boy, it was cold and rainy tonight for trick-or-treating. I took the girls out tonight. I think they had more fun once we got home and was able to hand candy out. Haydn's costume was PERFECT this year, it kept her warm!!

Hannah's first School Halloween Party

I helped with Hannah's class party this afternoon. It was alot of fun. They got into their costumes and then paraded around the other Kindergarten classes that were all sitting out in the hall. Once they got back to the room we had 4 stations set up for them to move around to. I tried to get a good group picture of them (always one that isn't looking at the camera). Also in the picture is the student teacher, Ms Thompson.

Pumpkins

Hannah's finished product (yellow eyes, brown nose, white mouth)

Haydn's finished product

these are the BIG ones

Hannah decided to paint her pumpkin this year instead of carving it. Haydn followed suit. I had bought two REALLY big pumpkins at the Amish Grocery Store in Redding. I have always wanted big ones and this year got them. I also bought two small ones. The big ones would take a month of Sundays to carve. Haydn painted hers multi colored. Hannah painted a face on hers.

Miss Blue Eyes

the girls had fun playing in the neighbors leaves tonight. Hannah was alittle more photogenic than Haydn was.

another one is gone..

Hannah lost her 2nd tooth this morning. It has been loose for over a week. This morning she was really working on it. She had her hand held mirror and could see the hole from the back and also on one side. I told her that it had to be gone before lunch or she would swallow it while eating. She actually pulled it herself! She looks so different without the two bottom teeth!!

cookie decorators in the making...

Haydn's is a "pile" of choc chips/marshmellows

Hannah did "P" for her fav color purple

taste testing

frosting mouth

with the unexpected snow we had this morning. We decided to bake sugar cookies. The girls were VERY creative with the decorating. Haydn ate almost as much frosting as she put on her cookies. We will see how much lunch they actually eat. It was something fun to do this morning!

Beggars Bash

We stayed in Mt Ayr for the beggars bash last night. Was a perfect night for it. Hannah was a clown and Haydn was a monkey. They got more candy to add to what we still have from Beaverdale parade.
