Field Trip

Anna's preschool class went on a field trip today and we took both girls. Amazingly, it cleared up for the trip and although we had our rain jackets on, when we were out and about at the orchard it didn't rain.

This picture is great. I snapped it when Emma-Grace was being shy because a stranger was talking to her.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved pumpkins tonight. Both girls got into it. Anna wanted her pumpkin to be scary and Emma-Grace's to be nice. So here we go...

Pretty nice and pretty scary!

Brushing Teeth and Hop Scotch Lessons

Anna was trying out for the hop-scotch olympics and teaching Emma-Grace.

Emma-Grace's favorite past time is brushing her teeth. Watch how fast she runs when we tell her she can brush her teeth.

And just a cute pic of EG!

Pumpkin Picking and Photographer Mommy

We went to Blake's Orchard again this weekend to find the perfect pumpkin. As soon as we pulled into the Orchard, Emma-Grace immediately started yelling "bopple, bopple, bopple!" which is baby-ean for "apple". Ken jumped out of the car and picked both girls an apple to eat while we looked for the perfect pumpkin.

Anna found hers first.

Emma-Grace found hers shortly after. She can't say pumpkin, but I knew she found the one she wanted because it was the only one she sat on... Good thing it wasn't rotten or semi-squished. Since it was the only one she sat on, we got it for her.

Daddy and the girls...

Emma-Grace fell asleep in the car... tired baby! Hi old lady in the background of my picture! Hope you like being memorialized on my blog!

After indulging in donuts and cider slushies, we rounded out our healthy morning by going to McDonald's for lunch, a request that Anna made yesterday.

After we got home, it was too nice to stay inside so I played photographer. Anna was all about it, but Emma-Grace wasn't. I did manage to snap a few of them together. Something that I was not successful at at the pumpkin patch.

We had a fun filled day and were pretty much outside from the time we got to the orchard, around 9:30 am until 5:30 when we came in for dinner. After we got home from the orchard and McDonald's our neighbors came over for a few hours of kick ball and soccer, of which Anna did participate in for a little bit, then played house with her friend. Needless to say, during dinner when I told Anna that she had to eat all her fruit and salad before she could get dessert, she told me that she was too tired to eat her food and too tired to eat dessert. I asked her if she just wanted to go to bed, and she said yes. A bath, a book and 30 mins later, both girls were in bed asleep. The only nap Emma-Grace had was the 30 min car ride between the orchard and McDonald's... poor babies! However, the 7:30 pm bed time is what has allowed me to download both cameras, edit the pics and post them all in one night, a process that usually takes 5-7 days.

Zoo Boo

We went to the Zoo Boo again this year, for the third year in a row. We will definitely make it a tradition. It is a "Merry not Scary" Halloween Event. Anyway, we went on Friday, and as you may remember Friday was horrible outside. All day it was windy, rainy and cold. I was determined to go to the Zoo Boo, mainly because I already bought the tickets, and I hate to waste money. Our tickets were for 6:00 pm... and wouldn't you know it, it totally cleared up, the wind and rain went away and it was a really pleasant evening... an hour and a half later as we were leaving, the rain and wind started and I am pretty sure the temperature dropped about 10 degrees. So I sure am glad we went. Even better, it was pretty empty because I think most people ditched on the event thinking that it would be horrible outside... their loss our gain! It was empty and we had a great time.

The only thing is, is that when it was time to go to the Zoo Boo, I couldn't find Anna and Emma-Grace anywhere... all I could find to go with me was a cute little pink leopard and Daphne from Scooby Do. I ended up taking them since I couldn't find my girls anywhere.

Daphne sure did love the pink leopard.

We planned for our parent group to go with us, but only one friend came. We had fun anyway!

Lots of Sister Love

I guess I am on a blog kick... that is ok because I do have a lot to catch up on and I love looking at my girls when I am on lunch break at work.

Super Model Anna

Sister Love! Love Birds

Say What?!?!

More Sister Love!

Too Much Sister Love!!! Cutie Tootie!

The other night I was taking pictures of Anna and she kept closing her eyes in anticipation of the camera flash. I told her to keep her eyes open for the picture. So she did...

Fishy Face!

I love this picture of Anna making Emma-Grace laugh. Yes, the background is all of Anna's princess dresses hanging up and yes, Emma-Grace is wearing fairy wings.

Again, with the box... seriously, Christmas is going to be empty boxes.

I love this face. Too bad the picture is a little blurry.

Sister Love!

Blakes Orchard

A few weekends ago we went to Blakes Apple Orchard which was a lot of fun. I highly recommend it.

Of course we had to eat our fill of apples that we were not charged for... we started off with us helping Emma-Grace eat her apple.
Super model Anna.

Picture break from eating... see what Emma-Grace is doing? That is the sign for eat.

Ken helping Emma-Grace eat.

Anna eating.

Emma-Grace still eating.

Different apple... Emma-Grace still eating.

The ladies... Emma-Grace is bummed that there isn't food in her mouth.

Ken lifting Anna up to get the apples.

Emma-Grace still eating.

We just all came to the conclusion, that Emma-Grace could hold her own apple. She agreed with that plan. Look at how serious she is taking this. Notice the square stance and face expression. Eating is serious business.

Anna's turn to help Daddy reach up high. She is really strong.

Oh, here is a cute picture of Emma-Grace still eating apples.

Emma-Grace eating raspberries.

Emma-Grace eating again.

Pretty girl in the raspberry patch!

Remnants of a doughnut on her face. I didn't grab the camera fast enough to get a picture of the process.

Anna!The ride home... tired.
