The girls had a great Halloween!
I had to do 99% of the work by myself today though as the guys were all suffering from............ "The Man Cold"! I'm sure all you women out there have heard of this, lol, but Jesse has a sinus infection, Brandon had some sort of throat infection and Ted, at least I can give him some break is having knee problems which he will probably have to have surgery for in a week or so, but this will be the 5th surgery on that knee so what's up with that? He ought to be able to deal with it better don't ya think????? (I'm really just kidding honey!) Check out this video though, it's so funny! (you'll have to scroll down the bottom of the page to shut off my music)
We started our day off by having a Halloween chorus/ballet recital. The girls were soooooo darn cute too! 







We iced and decorated sugar cookies when we got home. They all were eating the icing before I even handed out the cookies. I love this look on Hannah!




We carved pumpkins.


My little Cinderella's already to go Trick or Treating! 

The girls saw a family (that lives in this house) taking a picture of their little girl in this spot and just assumed that's what you're suppose to do, sit and get your picture taken there. (Hailey was pooped out by this point sitting in the stroller)
Checking out all their "loot" when we got home.

Hot, hot, hot!
It's been so hot here still but I'm not going to complain because I know some of y'all are having blizzards like our son who lives in Denver. So, with it so hot out still (in the 90's) we went to the beach with Dawn and her kiddo's from A Family We Will Grow.
Hailey & Lize are best buds!

All our kiddo's today. Luke was out numbered. (someday he'll enjoy this) His mom was down visiting Dawn from Wisconsin and they are waiting for their referral for a little girl from China.

Moms Club Halloween Party
Yesterday the girls had our Moms Club Halloween Party which I was in charge of again this year, I think I'll let someone else do it next year though. It's a huge party for our group every year but the girls had so much fun! I rented one of the shelters at our local park and it was a beautiful 83 degrees out.
Last year I got Jesse to cook for me, and then this year Brandon helped. That way it gives the parents free time to chase kids and socialize. Thank you Bubba, you did a great job!!!!!!

The girls had face painting done.


The girls all decided on Cinderella costumes this year. And yes, I did sew them.


The kids all waiting to go "Trick or Trunk".

It's always so much fun!


By the end of the day, Hailey was one tired little girl.

A fun day out!
The girls and I went with a friend of ours and her kids to our favorite outlet mall for some Halloween craft fun. The girls made Halloween bats, played on the playground there then we went and shopped at the mall. It was a great day for all.



The girls love to throw pennies into the fountain, but I think Taylor is wanting to keep hers! I made these dresses for the girls but they are so big. I'm trying to move the girls up a size from 18-24 month stuff to 2T but it's just huge on them.
I have no idea what Taylor is looking at.

Daddy's Birthday & The Pumpkin Patch
Ted's birthday was yesterday so we decided to take a picnic and cookout then go to the Pumpkin Patch!
The girls had fun with their bubble guns.


They LOVE to sing Happy Birthday.
It started getting colder out so I changed the girls into jeans with a sweater, we went and did the pumpkin patch, played on the playground then rode the Halloween train which I didn't get pictures of, but we froze to death. I was thinking what a horrible mom I was to only have sandals on the girls but it has been in the mid 90's here so I was unprepared for the cold. When we got into the truck to leave at 8:00 I checked the external temp. outside and it was........... 71! We Floridians are such whoosies! I'm not kidding there were people there in winter coats, too funny, and the northeners are at the beach!

We made the birthday boy stand with the girls.



Trying to find the perfect pumpkin!

Fort Myers Beach and Taylor's cleft appt.
We went to the beach, again, with Dawn and her girls from A Family We Will Grow and as usual the girls had a blast! (and yes for all you northerners, it's still in the 90's here with the gulf temps at 89 degrees, eat your hearts out!)
My bathing beauties!
Ohhhhh, how I love these little faces!


All five girls!


We also went to Orlando for a check up on Taylor's palate and her surgery is schedule December 14 with us going up the 11th for her pre op. The Dr. will put in artificial skin this time up in her palate to hopefully make sure there is enough skin for it not to rip open again. We also went to a big outlet mall.
Then we hit IKEA, I'm sure every one is glad when we leave, the girls think it's just one big playground!
