Staying Busy

Life is busy, but good. We are getting ready to go to Nebraska for Thanksgiving. My mom has a countdown until we get there. I am loving the cooler weather (although it was still so hot last week that the girls went swimming twice!). We love walking to the mailbox, going to the park, and baking. I am grateful that my girls love the little things in life, and that I get to enjoy them with them.

Our Princesses

Have you met our princesses?


Sami LOVED Halloween this year! Except for the scary costumes that showed up on our door. Then she kept saying "monsters no scary, monsters no scary." We assured her that monsters wouldn't hurt her. So did Grandma Carol, who called to see how the girls were doing just when Sami was needing to be reassured. She took Grandma's word for it. 

She did so good saying "trick-or-treat" to everyone and then a "thank you." After the ward trunk-or-treat, she said "I love Halloween! It's so cool!" 

Janie was a fairy princess. We just threw together a costume from her dress up. (All costumes came from yard sales, of course☺.) She had a break down just before we left for the party. I thought I would have to bring her home early, but she pulled through. These two pictures were taken seconds apart. 

I love that she kept her princess hat on the whole night, in the car, at the party, for the games. She was so tired for the trunk-or-treating that at one point she just fell down. As for the trunk-or-treating, she just walked up to people and started taking candy. It was kind of funny.



These cute little girlies are best buddies. They go to nursery together and love each other. The girls love nursery and their little girlfriends are mostly why. Everytime we mention church, Sami starts listing off all people she loves: Rachel, Sidney, Kaari, Ella, Elise, Harris (the most beloved nursery leader), and Mason (he's a boy but they love him too ☺). 



We loved Halloween this year. I can easily say it was our funnest ever! Hope you had a great one too.
