HALLOWEEN

This year, we decided to go to a church's fall party
in a nearby town. It was nice. They had lots of games,
a bump-n-jump, food, prizes, a petting zoo, a
coloring contest, and a costume contest.
We stayed way to late and were super tired...
but we had fun!!

Meet Dorothy (with Toto) and Cinderella.

ART MUSEUM

Julie took a field trip to the art museum
with her art teacher, Grandma Kay.


She loved the Monet.

And the scuptures.

And, of corse, the ballerina.

SLEEPOVER

Julie's friend Erin came over for her first sleepover.
Her mom made matching pajamas for all the girls to wear.
We watched a movie, ate popcorn, played, and had a long long night!

AUTUMN FUN

We were ALL about the beautiful leaves this autumn.

We hid in them.

Played in them.

Played in them.

And played in them!

Oh, and we also collected some to glue on our picture window.
When the sun shone through them...they were gorgeous!

SOCCER STAR

Julie is a natural born athlete!
We thought we'd give soccer a go this fall.
She loved it and did so well!
She scored 5 out of the 6 goals her first game.

She was scoring 12-15 goals by the end of the
season AND acting as goalie.
What a hoot!

JULIE'S 6th BIRTHDAY/ PARTY

Oh man, did we have a party!
Julie had in her mind that she wanted this to be the
biggest, best party she's ever had. So we did our best!

We had 21 kids attend her Garden Themed Party.
We had planned an elaborate scene outside, only to
wake up to pouring rain. Plan B: inside.

We potted plants, dug for worms, had a
water relay race, and ate ate ate.
It all worked out okay and (as you can see)
everyone had GREAT time!
Happy Birthday Punkin'

BEAUTY APPOINTMENT

Both of the girls went to the salon to get their haircut.

It was Elly's FIRST haircut. Don't worry, we left plenty of curl!
