A Little bit of Randomness...

It has been a few weeks since I have updated the blog and thought today I might just update with a few random things occurring around here. We always have a really busy end of fall season with 4 out of 5 birthdays occurring within 3 weeks of each other. Last night we went and celebrated Mike's birthday. I was able to get a picture of some really great daddy's with their girls. I am partial to the one on the right!


A couple of weeks ago, when we had one of our first big frosts on the ground in the morning, Rachel woke up very excited. She wanted to go outside before the big girls went to school. She ran outside with her new umbrella, not sure why, and looked at the ground and said, "Hey mom, God put frosting on the grass".

I thought to myself, did she really say frosting? And then she reaches down and tried to taste it. I was cracking up!

Halloween 2009

Ok, so this is what I am doing with my extra hour tonight! Yeah, editing pictures and blogging.

We had a fun couple of days with Halloween activities. Starting with the girls' birthday costume party and rounding it out tonight with trick or treating and a fun "afterglow" at the Conkey's. For those outside of MI, tonight was a chilly one and some of the kids only made it around the big block. But, we still managed to pull in more candy than I would like to have hanging around my house (if you know what I mean for all of you M&M lovers out there).

Here are a few photos of our fun.

We were able to watch the girls in their Halloween parade at school. Notice, Morgan is wearing a different costume than what she would wear Halloween night. This is a long story about what is "acceptable" in 2nd and 3rd grade.

We have a 6 year tradition now of trick or treating with our friends in our subdivision. It has been fun watching the kids get older and more independent with trick or treating.




Pumpkin carving is always interesting. I think we did a little better with our faces this year than last.
