Halloween

These are pictures of Paige while we are eating dinner before we got them ready for trick or treating. We tried so hard to keep her up. She is actually eating while her eyes are closed and her head is nodding back and forth. Finally we gave up and when we tried to move her to the couch is when she decided to get up.


Now we are on our way trick or treating. Alex took this picture that is why it is so blurry. Trick or Treating is done differently here in Wisconsin. There is a set day and time for trick or treating. The city we live in (Oshkosh) does trick or treat on Halloween but it is from 5-7 PM. It is not even dark yet. Some cities had theirs this past weekend. Kind of weird to me. We always trick or treated on Halloween as soon as it got dark.

Pumpkin Decorating at Alex's work

Alex's work had a pumpkin decorating party last weekend. The girls got to dress up and they had lots of treats and pumpkins the decorate. Any excuse to wear their costumes they are all for it.

Emma's School Halloween Party

Today Emma got to dress up for her preschool Halloween party. Of course she thought it was so fun to get to dress up as Belle from Beauty and the Beast and act like a princess at school.

New Ultrasound Picture

I had another ultrasound yesterday since they couldn't see the spine very well the last time. It amazes me how much you can see with the new 3D ultrasound. Here is the clearest picture. Some of the other ones he had his hands and the cord in front of his face.

Benefit for Troy Wendt

As you may or may not know one of my best friends, Heather Wendt's son Troy was diagnosed with Leukemia a few months ago. He is doing so well right now and has been such a strong little guy. There are a few different benefits to help Troy with his medical bills and if you can make it to them or help the Wendt family in anyway that would be great.

Cat in the Hat & Spiderman

We went to the grand opening of the new

Toys R 'Us and Babies R' Us on Saturday.

They were giving away a lot of free stuff

and had lots of characters there. Dora

was supposed to be there but got called

away and my girls were pretty upset.They

liked Spiderman the best. Emma said she

wished she could have webs shoot out of her

hands like him.

Ice Cream Sundae

Paige enjoyed her ice cream sundae a lot.

This face speaks for itself.

Emma's Preschool Field Trip to The Pumpkin Farm

Emma's Preschool had a field trip on Tuesday to The Little Farmer

which is a large farm with a huge pumpkin patch and apple orchard.

The kids learned about bees and how they help the apple blossoms turn into

apples. They got to go on a hay ride to the pumpkin patch and got to

each pick a pumpkin off the vine. They learned the proper way to

pick an apple. They had so much fun. They also have a huge play area with

a hay pyramid, bikes, straw teepees and a goat petting area.

Our whole family went on the field trip with Emma.

She loved the bus ride there and getting to sit by

her friends. We are going to this same pumpkin patch this

weekend with some friends so I will probably have more

pictures after that.
