Trip to Vegas!

We went to Vegas for the weekend! All of us-including Sam and Dia and dogs.  We gave the girls prizes every hour or so on the way down (if they were good).  One of the prizes was vampire teeth.

 We pretty much lived in the pool as much as possible.  Chrystal came to soak up some sun too.

 Amooh and Grandpa got the girls Halloween PJs.

 We went to the Fall Harvest Festival in Southern Highlands.  It was even better this year because we met up with the Allens.

 We had a Halloween treat party.

It was so much fun.  Very hard to leave the sun and the fam.

SLIDIN

Maissie had soccer practice at a little park.  The kids loved it because of the playground.  Jens showed Mac how to slide down the slide on his belly.  He thought it was the bestest thing ever.  It was so much fun to watch them giggle together.

Jens' field trip to the Fire Station

Jens' preschool went on a field trip to the fire station.  They had a really cute program with puppets and talked about fire safety.  

Classic

MJ made this super cute apple at school.  She wanted me to take a picture of it, and of course Jens wanted to be in the picture too. MJ wasn't so hot on the idea.

cardboard pumpkin

We got this box when we got bagels at Einstiens.  We thought it would be a great pumpkin.  So we painted it, and each person (minus Mac) colored a side.

A lil dirt doesn't hurt

The kids have been really great about hanging out while we have to take care of stuff at the house.  They seem to esp love anything that will make them dirty.
