Happy Halloween!

Tessa was going to be Tinkerbell and Siena was going to be Fancy Nancy for Halloween. I spent hours on Siena's costume, which we didn't bring to UT to visit. We only brought their "pretend Halloween" costumes, (Tessa-fairy; Jairus-Dinosaur and Siena-Carebear) so the real ones wouldn't get lost/damaged. Actually, Siena was super sick on Halloween, poor girl! Good thing my mom's ward had a trunk-or-treat (aka "pretend Halloween") a couple days before! Our sweetest neighbor, "Grandma Honey" asked that the kids come over to trick or treat at her house that night, so at least we have 1 shot of the kids and the 1 house they went trick-or-treating! She even went out and bought these awesome spider toys for the kids! Thanks Grandma Honey, for making it a fun Halloween experience!

Witch Pumpkin

I am so proud of this witch pumpkin Siena ad I made! My mom donated the green pumpkin! Siena provided the pompom hair and witch hat (already in her dress-ups). She also cut the eyes and mouth out where I traced, then helped me tape them all on! I think she did a pretty great job!

of course, Tessa had to have a picture by her too!

Happy Birthday Dad!

My dad wanted to go for Thai on his birthday. Nobody complained! The girls loved it too. Happy birthday dad!

I love this pic of Tess!

Pumpkin Festival

Living in a huge city makes me appreciate smaller towns even more. Especially on holidays and festival days. Pretty sure the Pumpkin Festival in Vegas would have been a nightmare, trying to keep track of these 2, and waiting in ridiculous lines, paying ridiculous prices. We had SO much fun! Definitely worth the 2 1/2 hour drive :)

donuts on a string. They were actually delicious!

pie eating contest- I was proud of Siena for remembering not to use her hands

and shared!

Seating for 4

We went to the craft store with 4 kids. They had those tiny, mini carts. We thought, Oh well, I guess all the kids will have to walk, only the baby will fit. Wrong! All the kids piled in all at once! I don't know how they all found room, but they did and nobody complained!

Garbage Fairies

The self-proclaimed Garbage Fairies! They go around collecting garbage and throwing it away!

Tessa's first haircut

Before

Half-way through

All done!

Tessa got her first haircut today! The before picture doesn't actually show her hair before... but at least I remembered to take a before pic! That's something.... 
Oh yeah, and she's potty trained now!!! Woot woot!
