and danced....

then she needed a break,

so did the rest of the girls.

Cha Cha turns 3!

Last weekend we had Cha Cha's birthday party! There were ballons...


and then the girls decorated wands and tiaras...

and then they danced!

Hallow'een

A spooky night, it's Hallow'een. And here we are, ready to go out and claim some pirate booty. We are:

Lucy from Narnia
A ballerina
A PIRATE Ballerina (with Eskimo party boots, not sure why)
A Red M&M
and finally..an Owl!

Trip Two to the Patch

After church and naps we took trip two to the Pumpkin Patch. It's less than a week before the big day, and we had to find the best pumpkin in town. Here's a good candidate -- nice size but a little warty. But you can tell it's my first time to pick out pumpkins, and I'm having so much fun that next year, I want a pumpkin patch in my backyard! (Daddy, please make a mental note)

Bouncy Castles!

Charlotte has never really liked bouncy castles much, but yesterday she wanted to play in one for the first time.

She had a great time playing in the big, pink, princess castle!

She even braved it with bigger kids jumping around too.

And then she was done.

Party time!

After the pumpkin patch in the morning, we went to a birthday party for my cousin's daughter, Dylanie. The kids loved playing with all the toys their cousins had.

Here is Janie and her cousin Derryk.

Charlotte was a big fan of the Little Einstien's globe.

Which of course meant, Janie had to play with it too!

More pumpkins!

Cute picture of Janie with the pumpkins...

Cute picture of Cha Cha with the pumpkins...

And no chance of a good picture with both kids....

Janie and the pumpkins

Janie was there to help with the pumpkins too...

She seemed to like the straw more than the pumpkins.

Charlotte's first job

Yesterday the girls and I went to volunteer at the church pumpkin patch. Charlotte was a great helper!
She put out the small pumpkins...

Organized the pumpkins...

and looked very cute while walking around the patch!

Hello?

I'm not sure what it is about phones, but all kids and babies seem to be drawn to them!

I have a feeling we'll see this image a lot in her teen years.

Family Photos

My grandmother and her husband came to visit the other night. We thought it would be nice to have a picture of them with the great-grandkids....here is how it went:

Janie's new playroom

The other day we found Janie in the kitchen cabinets. With as often as she goes over to them, I think she is convinced that it is her new play room.

Cha Cha has a new favorite book - this is one of Brian's books from when he was her age.

Say Cheese!

Rainy Days

It has been very rainy here in Texas lately and Cha Cha has enjoyed wearing her rain boots and rain coat.

She also enjoys hugging on Janie...

I just don't know if Janie enjoys it as much as Charlotte does.

Sooo cute

Janie is pretty cute stuff!
