Halloween

Our Halloween started on Thursday with Abby's school Halloween party! She dressed up as a princess and she got glitter in her hair and we gave her rosy red cheeks....

and of course she got some princess nails, they are press-on nails she was so cute about them she didn't really get that they were fake and not wet so she sat on the couch waiting for them to dry! And of course what princess in Utah is complete without a cape! This is Abby's Class and Teacher they let the parents come and they sang for us.

This is them performing.

On Friday Elizabeth had her Halloween Party and parade of costumes. This is at her parade through the school.

This is at her party while playing bingo!
After Elizabeth's party we went over to Josh's office to trick or treat with the girls in the office.

If you're wondering what the heck Josh is wearing it is his costume for work he dressed up in one of his Philippine shirts and said he was a Philippine!

Here are the girls with the girls in the office.

That night was our ward's Trunk or Treat where we decorate our trunks and pass out candy to the kids. I worked all week on this one and it's a dragon if you are wondering. Josh kept calling it a alligator all night just to get me mad! And Josh agreed (not happily may I add) to be the knight that fights the dragon!

Here is the full costume of Josh He would only put it on for the picture!

I was a very busy week but very fun. Josh took the girls out on Saturday night in the rain to go around our neighborhood. They had so much fun!

Abby's Pre-School Field Trip

Abby's Pre-School Class went to Hee Haw Farm. Abby was soo excited to go on a big girl field trip, just like her sister!!! The whole time there she kept saying, "I can't wait to tell sister about this." On the field trip she got to pick a pumpkin out of the pumpkin patch.

They all got a treat at the picnic area.

They saw the animals and then took pictures as animals.

This is a picture of all of the Pre-School Classes. There are two classes her age and then one with the smaller kids. So if you're thinking my kid is a giant she is but not so much with kids in there that are a year or so younger.

We went through a corn maze and then about half way in we got lost and went back out through the way we got in!!

These two are the twins next door from us and she loves them!!! So we hung out with them!
All in all it was a fun afternoon. Abby felt like a big girl on her big girl field trip and she can't wait until her next one!!

1st Grade Pictures

Elizabeth's 1st Grade pictures. There were no fights that morning...which lets face it is a miracle when making a decision on what to wear....no whining no crying she got ready and practiced her smile and I think it turned out cute...of course I'm the mom so what am I going to say!

The World According To Abby...

The other day it was just Abby and I at home and I was getting ready for the day. I was in the bathroom drying my hair and after I was done with my towel I dropped it on the floor. (I wasn't going to leave it there I was going to pick it up but before I could do it...)
Abby said, "Mom, you don't just leave your towel on the ground you need to hang it up!"
I said, "Well you always leave your towel on the ground." (Why I'm arguing with a 4 year old is beyond me)
Abby said (in a way only Abby can pull off without getting smacked), "Mooommm, I'm a kid I don't know any better!!!"
While trying not to laugh I tried to explain to her if she knows enough to tell me not to do it then she knows better....I honestly don't think I got through to her!
