October so far

 We've had a fun month so far... I love the start of the holidays. 

Abigail and Carly signed up to dance at Fremont's half time show.  Abigail loved it.  They practiced for a week before the game.  Carly didn't love it so much... she almost didn't perform, but my sweet neighbor bribed her with some candy.  Why didn't I think of that?!

I've been taking some photography classes, and one of our assignments were to photograph people wearing white.  Carly was a very willing subject, but she kept posing in odd places. 

She wanted to pretend she was about to fall asleep on this bench.

Abigail is always a very willing subject

She's growing up too fast, and looking so old!

Last week we carved/painted pumpkins, ate candy and popcorn, and watched ichabod crane.

Luke was the only one not afraid of the pumpkin guts, so he carved his. 

snuggled up for the movie

Here I am taking photography classes and I take a blurry picture!

The kids had a Halloween carnival at the school last night.  The girls decided at the last minute that they wanted to be witches instead of what they had planned.  Their costumes were too small, because I made them when Ab was 2 1/2, but they were determined.  Hailey's fairy costume was also too small, but by the time we got everyone dressed, we were in danger of being terribly late.  We just went with it last night, but for actual Halloween I told them they had to be something else.  We will see what they all decide.  Luke was a zombie, and he said he loved it so much that he will be that on Halloween also.
