Life As We Know It

Happy Halloween!!

We have had a great Halloween week! Thursday Brooke had her class party.

Baby Sisters loved preschool too!

Friday we headed to the mall for the Halloween Parade with my Moms of Multiples group. I love my little puppies and Ariel!

Parade kids...

and the Mamarazzi!

Saturday we went to a Halloween party at my friend Christy's house. There were lots of fun games for the kids, like painting pumpkins.

Then on Halloween we went Trick-or-Treating in our neighborhood.

Some fun Halloween things I don't want to forget...

Brooke really wanted me to be a witch and Daddy to be a doggie like baby sisters. I actually did dress up as a witch to go to the Halloween party. David opted not to be a doggie, but a blind referee instead. Somehow I didn't end up with any pictures of us.

Brooke calls Jack-o-Lanterns "Jack-o-Landas".

Keely can say "Trick or Treat", it sounds like "Tee-Tuh-TEE". :)

Preschool Pumpkin Patch

Claire was feeling much better this morning, so I took the twins up to Brooke's preschool for their pumpkin patch/petting zoo day.

Keely is excited to see Brooke. We waited for her outside her classroom.

A quick class picture before heading outside...

Brooke "caught a bubble and put it in her mouth". ;) If you have ever taught young children you know what that means!

Pumpkin patch time! Brooke brought her pumpkin "Jack", who is a girl of course.

Keely and Claire having fun in the patch. Love the Cookie Monster pumpkin!

On to the petting zoo

K & C look on from outside the gate.

Caught all three in a picture near the bunnies.

Fall at the Beach

My mom had this idea of going to the beach in the fall. And what a wonderful idea it was! The weather was great- in the 80's- and pretty much no one was there!

The toughest part was the drive down there and back. It was just me and the girls. It was a loooong drive!

We stayed outside of Port Aransas in a beautiful updated condo.

Check out the view from our patio. :)

Here is pretty much the only picture I took of Claire during the weekend. She was up ALL night Saturday night, not feeling well. Grandpa took her for a drive at 5 am. Thanks Dad! Now that we're home she still has a fever. :(

Brooke ate about a hundred grapes while we were there.

The reason for the getaway was to celebrate my sister Kelly's birthday. Mom & Kelly made a delicious shrimp boil and we enjoyed some brownies after! Yum!
