carving pumpkins...

The girls were running all over town with me today... the death of them was 2 hours in Menard's. I promised them that if they were good we would do something special... They were good, or as good as any 3 and 6 year old can be in Menard's for 2 hours. We decided that we should carve pumpkins! We washed and "de-gutted" them before Jed came home.... the girls quickly abandoned Jed and he was left to carve alone! They turned out really cute! Madison wanted a Cubs pumpkin but we were afraid we would be victim of a crime from an unstable fan.... we went with the Bears instead!

the fun has to stop...

When I got in the shower they were clothed and painting nicely, on paper. Not sure what happened.... well yeah I do, they think I am cool and will let them do whatever they want. I asked for it...showers with clothes on, running in the rain. this fun had got to stop!! I am exhausted!! for the record Olivia said that finger painting means you can paint with your fingers...on anything!

our elephant...

I love this little guy... they are always together! Isn't he too cute!

Madison's class..

Madison had her Noah's Ark party at school on Friday... this is the Halloween alternative. They have to come dressed as an animal! I am one of the room moms this year and really enjoying being able to plan the parties and be involved with Madison's class. She is such a doll and learning so much!!

little explorers and the poor dog....

I was working in my office the other day and saw the girls go out on the back deck... I about died when I saw poor Libby trailing behind. They informed me that they were going "exploring". Madison even had a map! How fun to watch them play together and use their ever active imaginations. Libby looks like such an old maid......
