Happy Halloween!
What a fun, crazy, busy Halloween! :) As soon as we got home, we got our costumes on, and took the obligatory pics. We then hopped in the car, and headed across town to trick-or-treat at our old neighbors' house. They miss the girls greatly, and look forward to seeing them in costume every year.
After that stop, we headed to the Frye's house for mummy dogs, mummy pizzas, a pumpkin veggie tray, and apple cider. Yum! The kids were so excited they could barely eat, but we managed to get some real food in them before meeting up with the Harms family too, and hitting the streets.
The Three Amigas..."Daphne," "Wicked Witch," and "Dorothy." :)
*THE* most haunted house in the neighborhood! The pics just don't do it justice. Creepy!!!
By the time we had hiked from the Fryes' to our house, (the halfway point before looping back), cousin Keira had showed up for a quick snuggle and a chocolate bar for her Daddy. :)
We made sure we hit up every house on the way back up the hill that we had missed on the way down. By that time, we had been trick-or-treating for TWO hours, and the girls had quite the stash of candy to sift and sort, and celebrate. Another successful Halloween!

Cousin Keira visit
While Dan and Lacey were vacationing for Dan's 30th birthday, cousin Keira came to stay with us for the weekend. As luck would have it, she came down with an awful cold just before her arrival, though it didn't seem to affect her ability to play and have fun with the girls. :) It did, however, affect her ability to sleep through the night, which in turn, affected my ability to function like a normal human being.
By the end of the weekend, I was so exhausted I could hardly stand. So fun, but definitely a reminder why Brian and I are *done* with the baby phase, and perfectly happy with our *two* children! I truly have no idea how any mother cares for 3 or more on a daily basis. My hat's off to them!!!!
Somehow, in my sleep deprived haze, we made it to Camryn's friend's birthday party at the pumpkin patch! It was a beautiful sunny day, and while C and her friends ran around like crazies, Aubs and Keira and I ate a leisurely picnic lunch, dug for potatoes, went pumpkin bowling, and just generally enjoyed the sites.
We hope Keira can come back and stay again sometime. We enjoyed having her!!!

Family Portrait
Aubrey's drawings have really taken off lately, and it is fun to see her decisions represented in the details. Below is her latest "family portrait." She deliberately and painstakingly colored each and every polka dot on our dresses, and chose appropriate colors of crayon for our hair (apparently my hair is black?) Funny enough, she decided Brian was playing "hide and go seek," and "popped his head out from behind the tree so he could be in the picture too." I think this one's a keeper...
