Leaves

Ever since the first leaf fell off the tree in our front yard, Erika has been begging to go outside and rake! On Sunday, her wish came true and she and Laurel played in the small amount of leaves that were on the ground.












Levi has mastered the "b", "d", and "m" sounds. He will occasionally through in an "l" sound for good measure. However, if you ask him to say anything that starts with "b", he sounds like a genius! It is handy that his favorite toys so far are balls, books and boats. And a tractor, but he can't say that!





And here is just a cute picture of the kids and their daddy.

Beginning of Holiday Festivities

We had a fun Halloween with absolutely beautiful weather! Every year this holiday is more and more fun because the girls understand it better. They loved going around to the houses and getting the candy. Laurel was a pro at going right for the candy bowl whenever anyone would hold it out to her. Plus, it is always fun to show off your super cute kids to neighbors and friends!
Laurel loved leading Judah around to the different cars at our church's trunk or treat on Saturday night.

Happy Halloween! We have these great Mr. Potato Head type things to decorate the pumpkins with. I love not having to carve a pumpkin!





Daddy painting kitty whiskers and noses on our two cats.

They loved having face paint on! And about 30 seconds after applying the paint, they both rubbed their noses!

Adorable!

This is how we rolled on Halloween night. We started before it was dark and were the first ones out and about, I think. I'm pretty sure we interrupted some people's dinner!


The girls loved walking through the crunchy leaves with Aunt Sarah.

"Can I eat this one?"

Laurel was so excited to have so much candy.
