Trick or Treat!


The girls have the cutest halloween kitty-cat shirts this year!
They loved being chickens so much last year (in fact they are still in our living room because they wear them all the time to cluck around the house!) that I thought animals would be fun to do again... They love their monkey suits and they are plenty big to last the rest of the year so they can play dress-up :) Here they are dressed up for their costume parade at school...

Sweet monkey Sophie

Funny monkey Bella

Bella and her little friend Juliette, she talks about Juliette at home all the time! Sophia's little friend Jack ran up and hugged her the other day and his mom said he talks about her constantly, it's pretty cute to see them making friends at school.

Katie took them to the park after their costume parade



Our house all decked out for halloween - spooky!
James worked very hard to make this guy on our front porch, I think he creeped out the trick-or-treaters a lot!

Getting ready to go trick-or-treating! Jame's scary wolf costume actually came in handy that night when the girls were dilly dallying along he would run behind them and growl and they would scream and run. "Run really fast" Bella kept saying :)

The girls did pretty good, Bella said "trick-or-treat" and Sophie would say "thank you", but it was funny to watch them, they would stand next to the bowl of candy for awhile and then casually reach back in to get more candy! Pretty soon their buckets were too full for them to carry :)

We met up with Lylah the scarecrow and they got to go together, it was so warm outside that when we were done trick-or-treating the kids played in the leaves at Lylah and Matthew's house for awhile, how nice is that!


Happy Halloween!

Boo Bash

The costumes seem to get better and better every year, we had a great time at our Halloween Party! Thanks to everybody for making yummy treats and getting into the halloween spirit with creative and fun costumes :)

Pumpkin Patch

This was our third year taking the girls to the Rocky Mountain Pumpkin Ranch in Longmont, and it is getting more fun every year! They love everything about the pumpkin patch!
Shopping for baby pumpkins
Bella looks so tiny next to the giant pumpkins

Of course the bounce house provides endless fun for the girls



They had the cutest little animal train, each car was painted a different animal and the girls wanted to try out each one!



The loved hauling their wagons around and picking out pumpkins to bring home
The cutest thing was once we got these pumpkins home and they got lined up by the door and kissed bye-bye everytime we left the house and lined up and kissed night-night every night before bed, they had so much fun babying those pumpkins!
Bella loves feeding the animals
Finger painting fun after the pumpkin patch

Cowgirls

Lylah gave the girls these hot-pink cowgirl boots and they are just so adorable! The girls were running around the back yard picking "apples" off the tree and laughing!
Little cowgirls, so cute!
