Halloween

I don't know why, but I feel the need to make Halloween costumes. I turned Malaya's old strawberry costume into a ladybug for Jolie. And I made Malaya a cupcake. She looked adorable and was such a trooper! She ran, sat, jumped and even went down a slide in that thing. Before trick-or-treating we had a neighborhood party. The kids had so much fun! Then everyone went out to get candy. Jolie and I waited and waited for the 43 kids in our neighborhood to visit, but we only got 2 knocks on the door (and 1 was Malaya). It turns out that everyone stopped at their own houses along the way, and since we are at the end of the neighborhood, no one made it to us. Needless to say, we have a LOT of candy left over.

Getting ready for Halloween

Malaya is just not afraid of anything. Not even a hairy caterpillar.

We all had ice cream. Even Jolie got to chew on a spoon.

Malaya chose this small green pumpkin...for a second. And then she dropped it and continued to run all over the pumpkin patch.

Malaya tried to kiss this baby cow. She loves all kinds of babies!

Just some new pictures

Jolie sits! She is sitting a whole month earlier than Malaya did. It's probably because her squishy belly holds her up :)

We were making apple crisp together and Jolie just thought that this apple ring was delicious.

Hmmmm, somebody found the barrettes! Who knew she had enough hair to hold them all!

Cousin time

Penn, Janet, Eliana, and Little Penn made an impromptu trip down to PA one weekend. The kids had so much fun together, but the time went by so fast!

Swinging Fun

The girls had fun swinging on warm fall days. Even Jolie liked it and she's not nearly as adventurous as Malaya.
