Fun Dressing Up

Ok, so we're not the biggest fans of Halloween, but I've had these two costumes and thought I'd try them on Rebecca...

I was extra careful about not letting her see the giraffe's face while putting this on her. I knew that would only result in tears and screams.

These are the tears and screams I was talking about!

Lillian and Abigail wanted in on the action too ...

This is a size 12-24 month costume. Need I say more?

After this picture was taken, Abigail proceeded to chase after Lillian saying, "The zebra (yes, zebra) is going to get you, Lil-lin! The zebra is going to get you!" They both went running and screaming around the house... too bad you couldn't be here to enjoy :) it with me!

More Leaves

Here is our leaf maze! The girls played with this for a long time! I don't know what gave me the idea for this, but they loved it!

Come on, Rebecca, let's go to Grandma's!

Traffic jam

Awe... so cute!





Guess what? The girls and I bagged all the leaves this weekend! Now what am I going to take pictures of?!




Here's Shirley ready for church this morning. She was just too cute so I had to take a picture. The outfit is from a family from church. That's actually a coat she's wearing and under is a matching dress. She wore the hat the entire time we were at church. Really, too cute.

Playing Outside

Our house in the fall (can you see Rebecca swinging under the tree?!)

There's Becca-Roo! (Daniel calls her Becca-Roo. It's a take off of Buckaroo. Although I think Lillian and Abigail think it's after little Roo from Pooh!)

Cheap entertainment! Thank you, God!

Yup, that would be our Chuckle!

This is Rebecca's favorite place while outside - in the swing.

Rolling down our big hill

Riding down our big hill! They do this quite a bit and have been accident free... so far!

Rebecca has been walking alot lately while pushing something. Now if we can just get her to do it by herself!

Here is Lillian working on her car (By the way, Lillian is our warm child. She is always so hot! That is why she is always seen in cool clothes while her sisters are bundled up! She doesn't get that from me! The girls complain about my cold fingers!)

Daniel has been working on his car for the past 4-ish weeks so that's why Lillian is working on hers. Just like Daddy, you know! It's really been testing my patience not having a car. We haven't really needed to go anywhere, I think it's just knowing that I don't have a car that's been frustrating. If that makes sense! Daniel's car almost has 330,000 miles on it! That's right ! No joke! Go Nissans! I guess he thinks it still has some more life to it... or he just doesn't want to part with it. HA! He's almost done. He's put a LOT of time into it (not money though, which is good and which is why he's been doing it himself!). Now I'm just praying that it will actually work once it's all put back together!

Thanks for stopping by!

A Week in our Home

Where's the snow? We want snow!!

Isn't this the way you're supposed to drive?

Mmmm... nothing like scratchy pumpkin stem!

Look at our fun orange pumpkins!

Giggling girls in the leaves

Orchard Outing with Grandma

My mom came to visit for a couple of days so we took the girls to a nearby orchard. What a fantastic fall day! Perfect really - the weather and the company! The girls had such a fun time (except for when they spotted any pesky bees ... Lillian and Abigail have both been stung this summer so now they are worried about any flying bug).

Here are some pictures of our orchard outing:

Can you find the three cutest pumpkins?

Riding on the hay wagon with Grandma Lucy.

This one's for you, Uncle Mark (both grandpas, too!)!

Queens of the haystack

Showing off their freshly picked (huge) apples!

Rebecca really liked the apples too!

I had my mom take this picture because I thought it was too funny. We went for a hike on a trail and Rebecca kept bending over like this and then she would stay in this position. I think she liked watching my feet.

Posing with pumpkins while eating their apples (notice how Abigail ate her apple).

Bye! See you next time!

Fall Festival

On our way downtown to the Fall Festival. I've discovered that it's so much easier to stack the girls :) rather than push the double monster stroller! They think it's great!

They were giving free rides with this beautiful horse drawn carriage. This picture was actually taken later in the day after we had already had our ride. I had forgotten to bring the camera with so we went back home to get it. Then later I stopped the carriage to get this picture! Abigail and Rebecca didn't want to get in the carriage for the picture (they were ready for naps). When we rode in it they had the top up so it was enclosed. I wish I had the camera initially ... the girls were SO excited! Lillian said it was like Cinderella going to the ball. She crossed her legs during the entire ride! It was really cute!

"Apple Roll"

"Football Toss"

Yes, Lillian did make it! She won a candy bar! :)

Finding coins in sawdust. Lillian found almost $4 worth! At'a girl!

"Hoola Hooping"

(fyi - We got those Crocs free from someone at church and Abigail loves them even though they're two sizes too big! I thought Daniel would like you to know that we didn't actually buy them ... he's not a huge fan! heehee!)

Can't forget about Becca-roo!

The dam on the St. Croix River.

Some more of the dam and the river. The trees are really starting to change colors now. I'll have to post some pictures when they're at their peak.

Thanks for looking!!
