Happy Halloween! And other fall happenings

Friday night was Christine's baby shower. Lois made this adorable banner for it.

Two words: Cupcake Bar. It was terrific!

The expecting mothers who were there, including Christine.

Here's the group. Congratulations, Christine! We love you and we are so excited to meet your little girl!

Allison Morgan gave us these Barbie razor scooters. They were missing the grips, so Chris ordered some new ones online, as well as knee pads and elbow pads. I got helmets for the girls, and since the weather warmed up, we headed outside to test the ride. The girls did really well and they love them. Thanks again, Allison!

Halloween shirts were worn with pride this week!

Both girls have had a great week at school with all the Halloween festivities. Cate and her friends--with their moms--went to Homestead Farm on Monday. Perfect weather, perfect timing, we got there before the big school buses full of kids. It was a beautiful morning! Thanks Lois for giving us a ride, and thank you Wendy for these pictures! (Of course I left my camera at home that morning.)

For Wednesday's class, Cate got to wear her costume to class--she is Bea Spells-a-lot, a Lalaloopsy doll (the one she's holding in her arms, in fact). She was so excited!

On Halloween day, Lizzie was able to wear her costume to school. She is Crumbs Sugar Cookie, another Lalaloopsy doll.

Later that evening, we went to the Myers' house for dinner--delicious! Then we set off for trick-or-treating. We, I mean the girls, got a tone of candy! :D

Hope you had a Happy Halloween!
