Halloween 2011

Lydia was the perfect Little Red Riding Hood

Megan and Emily were super heros. I made Emily and Megan's costume.

So seriously of the 10+ pictures we took of all three of them together this is the best pose we got. LOL.

This is before we left for trick or treating, Lydia was a little cranky. But that left as soon as we got to the mall and started getting candy from almost every store.

The funny part is none of the girls would let us even touch their buckets. Lydia's bucket got to be about 3/4 of her weight but she still didn't want any help carrying it. Emily and Megan responded the same way even though they we so tired they were dragging th

eir buckets on the floor. :)

We had dry ice apple cider when we got home. Everyone was very excited. We had a hard time keeping their hands out of it.

Halloween was definitely a success.

I thought it was time to update the blog.

So here is the deal...

Megan recently turned 4. She started preschool in August. She is doing really well and loves it. Megan loves painting. She is always bringing home heaps of paintings.

Emily is working on becoming a three year old (in Dec), sentences potty training, you know the usual and doing great. Her favorite thing to do lately is to find her stuffed animal horse and rides it hopping around the house with a sword. She chases out all the monsters... :)

Lydia is walking and talking a little, her favorite words are lets doe! (lets go). She starts nursery in January. (No I am not counting down) She is a total cutie. She loves making funny faces.

Ken is doing well in school we are hoping to apply for pharmacy school. Hopefully he will start next fall if all goes well.

I am doing various hobbies. I started a small blog. happeninhobbies.blogspot.com. It is fun I post my projects that I am working on.

So that is the update. Happy Thanksgiving.

Isn't she a charmer!

Swimming at Eagle State

A couple of weeks ago we all went to the Eagle State Park to go swimming and see what else they have there. Aunt Kate was in town and came with us. It was great to have here there with us to help wrangle the kids, and the girls really loved having their aunt there with them. We had a lot of fun swimming in the river and having a picknic. This will probably have to become a family tradition.
