Halloween Party at Edgewood

Nana took us to Edgewood for a Halloween party.  The girls were so excited to dress up

 Merida (from the movie Brave), little flower and the Rock Star

 We decorated pumpkins

 Decorated some cookies - with crazy amounts of frosting

 

Nana and Kaitlyn

 They had a person doing GREAT face painting.  Maddie decided to be a butterfly

 Hailey wanted a spider, but she couldn't do a whole face spider, so she went with tiger?

 Kaitlyn was messing with her hood when we sat down.  She was cracking herself up!

 We stopped back at my parents house to say hello to Papa.  He is somewhere in the picture!

Sleepover

Hailey had her first sleepover at our house after dance class on Friday.  Keri spent the night and Maddie was happy to join in.  Not too sure if Hailey was all that happy about it!

 Watched Casper the friendly ghost

 Got the beds ready - wasn't sure how much sleep they would get.  

Next day - girls are napping - a rare sight in our house -especially both of them at the same time

Another soccer season done

Hailey's soccer season is over.  She played goalie again and she had 2 saves.  She did great! 

Team picture 

This one they were supposed to be showing their tough/mean faces.  It just looks like they are cold!

Gallery shelves

Got the idea from Pinterest that I could build some gallery shelves.

 These 3 boards turned into.....

Finished product.  Pretty happy with the result and pretty proud of myself!

Bea's Birthday and Cordelia's Baptism

We were lucky enough to get to celebrate Bea's 2nd birthday and Cordelia's baptism this past weekend.  There were so many little kids, it was crazy!

 Girls trying to figure out what to do - I think they were not agreeing at the moment

 Leo was so cute with Kaitlyn - he leaned over and gave her a kiss

 Hailey is a little obsessed with Bea.  She keeps telling me she is the cutest thing she has ever seen.  Here she is getting a little overzealous

 Maddie goofing around

 Bea kept saying baby.  She is a sweet little girl

 Maddie posed and said take my picture Mom!

 Papa entertained Kaitlyn for a little while

 The girls

 Time for some cake

 Only picture I managed to get of Cordelia with her Grandma

Little Maeve - she is 2 weeks old and you forget how little they are at that age

Avoiding bedtime

Maddie is trying to avoid bedtime, so she is snuggling up to her dad.

Tailgating and the game

Dad, the girls and Billy the Panther

 Had to have a stop in the Panther jumpy.  There were a couple of other ones, but this one was pretty empty.  Right up the girls alley

Managed to get a family picture in our EIU Blue

Doing a little walk down the runway

Dad said they could get a stuffed animal at the bookstore

Maddie's first game.  She stood on the bleachers and danced.  The girls were quite the hit in their cheerleader outfits.  Unfortunately, we really wore them out with the park, parade, walk through campus, etc.  They only made it through the 1st qtr before they were getting restless.

 Sweet baby Kaitlyn didn't even make it that long.  She was asleep within minutes of sitting down.
