Thanksgiving Part 1

Today I am thankful for a flexible job that allows me to work from home when needed. Because of this, I was able to attend the girls' Thanksgiving lunch at school, twice!  I spent the first hour with Connor's class...messy 1 year olds.  And the second with the CRAZY 3 & 4 year olds...Taylor's class made special hats for the occassion.  Anyone remember when I dressed up like a Pilgrim in preschool??

Warning! The following pictures are not attractive!

This is what happens when you take a tired baby & a crazy preschooler shopping....

One falls asleep in the cart.

The other walks around with a shopping bag on her head. 

Arkalalah and Halloween

I realize in the previous post I said 'tomorrow I would update', guess I lied.  I'll stay away from words and just get some more of those pics uploaded....

Uncharacteristically, Taylor wanted us to all sit on this bench instead of riding the horses.  I have to admit, I was kind of disappointed.

Connor & Papa...she was constantly trying to dive off his shoulders.  She thought that was hilarious; I did not.

Connor & my Aunt Becky (with Grandma in the background).  Both girls had lots of fun with Aunt Becky...just like I always did.

Halloween!  It was impossible to get a good picture of both of them at once.  Connor wouldn't wear her wings while we were at home either.

October - the fantasy month....

Maybe it's because I'm incredibly busy at work right now, or I'm just slowly losing my mind....but October flew by.  Which is a shame, because it's one of my favorite months.  The weather was great, leaves changed and it seems like we were busy every weekend.  Let's recap:

October 2nd - Taylor's Princess Party Weekend

October 8-9

We went to the pumpkin patch as a family, and didn't take any pictures.  During the week though,Taylor and I went back to the pumpkin patch with her class at school for a fieldtrip. 
October 16/17
Maple Leaf Weekend/Andy's Class Reunion
Miss Nora's 1st Birthday Party

Nora's mommy makes cakes.T could not wait to dig into these superb cupcakes.

Miss Nora!

Nora & Connor playing with Nora's new shopping cart.

October 23

We carved our pumpkins

Connor, that rag was to clean off the pumpkins, not to eat.

October 24

The Travelling Wagners came through town, and we all got together for a family dinner.  Taylor & Kaleb were able to play with each other....and they were sooooooo excited.

Anya was not thrilled with the idea of picture taking. 

October 30-31

 Arkalalah Saturday
Started at the 'Pancake Feeder', as Taylor called it.  Moved on to the carnival, then a 2.5 hour long parade.  TWO AND A HALF HOURS of a parade.  Taylor was happy that she got to see lots of trombones.

OH!  My battery is almost done on my laptop.  So, I'll finish up the pictures of Arkalalah and Halloween tomorrow. Good night!
