A Few More Halloween Pics

Nashville Cousins

Our cousins from Nashville and Oma and Grumps spent 5 days with us and somehow I managed to only take pictures of one event...the zoo...and I only took a handful there.  Lately I've been taking fewer pictures.  I LOVE, LOVE my camera...but sometimes the amount of effort it takes to upload pictures has kept me from shooting.  I'm on the computer enough and I don't want another reason to get on the computer...but then I flip back through my pics and always wish I had more. Good thing Jenna and Oma were around to document all the fun we had together - parks, soccer, backyard adventures, science! Fun times.  

This picture makes me laugh. It's like Maggie is a little tiger cub.

Who knew feeding goats could be so fun?

Halloween 2010

Somehow Carly managed to go trick or treating 3 times between Friday and Sunday. Maggie would have been right by Carly's side if she hadn't been side tracked by a yucky sinus infection. Luckily, she had already trick or treated 2 times before Halloween night - so, I don't think she realized that she missed anything.  Below are some pics from Boo at the Zoo. These pictures need to be cropped/red eye reduced/etc...sorry! I want them to be posted before Christmas!

Maggie LOVED the eeky freaky dance party. She would have danced all night if we hadn't lured her away with candy.

The girls outfits coordinated really nicely this year.  I wish I had taken the time to get some better pictures.  I'll close with Carly's signature pose.

October



Where did October go? It seems like this month just started yesterday. Here's some pics of what we were up to the first 3 weeks of this month. Below was a group of friends who came over one Friday afternoon to watch the local highschool homecoming parade. The parade was a huge hit mainly because the amount of candy that was thrown from the floats.

We had a day off from school and decided to check out a farm about an hour away from Columbia. The farm adventure began with a tractor ride, corn maze, pumpkin patch, and then ended with a very unique playground.

I don't know what to call this playground item...it felt like a blob...it was like walking on a big bubble. You wanted to jump - but it was like that feeling in the elevator when you jump and your feet never leave the ground. We all gave it a try - even the moms.

Cow train! We all rode - even the moms.  The driver was pretending that we were on a tube in the lake - he was doing way too many figure eights and circles! The girls loved it! Our day ended with this cow train.

Walkin With Granny

Maggie has loves to take off her shoes when we are outside, but often gets stuck on rough ground. Here comes Granny to the rescue!

And then, ofcourse, Carly needed to try that mode of transportation.

Fall Dresses

We love our new cute fall dresses that Oma made!

A New Do

Carly and I have a battle every morning with her hair. It loves to tangle during the night. She claims it's torture for me to brush her hair. When you have to be at school at 7:30, every minute in the morning is precious time. We both decided that some of her hair had to go. At first she was hesitant, but when she was at the salon, she decided to take off more than I expected. We are both much happier. This is how she left the salon...it's called a spider web.

Ofcourse, we couldn't have a photo shoot without this pose.
