Halloween!

 So pictures from last night.... we had so much fun!  Halloween is a blast.

Genevieve was a beautiful monarch butterfly.

 Audrey was a scary dinosaur.  A T-Rex, specifically.  ROAR!

 There was a very decorated house near us.  The cat was the least scary thing.

Boo!

Fair 2011

 We took the girls to the fair.  We did it the cheapskate way, getting in before 1 for free, feeding us pb&j beforehand and just getting a snack there, and going when the rides weren't working.

We really enjoyed the pettting zoo.  It was fun.

Then things started going downhill.  Watch Genny's expressions.

We let the girls choose a snack.  They went with blue bell.

{I don't think that other stuff is food, mom}

We went and saw the exhibits.  Giant cow here.

Highlight of the trip -- Look at the giant pumpkins!

{Mom, can we go home?}

And Audrey apparently wanted in with the tiger.

Major Tootie

Good stuff.

beauty shop

Yes, she's using a fork for a hairbrush.

Yes, we do have hairbrushes.  I don't know why the fork was used.

No, we're not moving.  Those are kids' clothes I am rearranging.

Scooter Dude

 We've introduced a new furry friend into our house.  His name is Scooter.

He got a new haircut and seems to think he's dapper.

 

He's a yorkie-ish dog.  We're thinking yorkie + at least one other special ingredient.
Daisy is enjoying having a furry friend to play with, at least when he doesn't annoy the crap out of her.

He's pretty sure he's one of the girls.  See him in the row of babies?

Genny's first days

 Genevieve started preschool last week.  All ready.  Cool as a cucumber at home.

not quite so cool at school.  It was a bit intimidating, but she's getting into the swing of things!

Genny's first day of ballet

Very excited!  See those shiny new shoes on her feet?  Got a little story for ya, ags.  Right about 15 minutes before dance class was scheduled to begin, I asked Genevieve to put her dance shoes on.  That she hadn't worn in 2 months.  And guess what?  They didn't fit.  Not even close.

So on the way to class, we made a flying trip by Razzle Dazzle, and they were so nice to fit her and get us out the door quickly, wearing the new shoes.

Did you hear that?  Right, it's my kids' feet growing.

Audrey's First Day of School

 Audrey's first day of school.

 She was feeling sassy at home.

 Ready to go!

Going to school just like sister!

Until we got there...  she did just fine, don't worry.
