I've been a little behind on my blog, so since I'm behind, I'll go back a month ago...to Halloween! Abby was a witch and Kate was a cat. Abby's birthday party was also on Hallween. She had a costume party...it was a BUSY day! We were all very tired by the end of the night. Not many houses around our house have their porch lights on, so we normally go to a neighborhood by my parents house. There is one house in particular that Michael LOVES to go to. They hand out King Size candy bars every year. Michael looks forward to that house. I get a big kick out of it because the guy that lives there is stuck in the early 90's...it cracks me up! I hope that your Halloween...and Thanksgiving were a blast!

Pumpkin Patch
Every since Abby was a year old we have taken her to Neumeier's Nursery for their annual pumpkin patch celebration and we have carried on the tradition with Kate. It is absolutely beautiful in the fall. There are pumpkins, mums, and other beautiful plants everywhere! I always come home with pumpkins and mums that Abby has picked out. I do NOT have a green thumb, I have a brown thumb! I always have such good intentions, saying that I am going to water the mums or ferns or whatever plant I bring home. I always water them really good for about a week and then the next thing I know...the plant is dead. So, once again, this year I brought home 2 beautiful mums, yellow and white. I know when Michael saw me carrying those things he was thinking that I might as well throw my money out the window!
I got some really good pictures. My favorites are the ones where they are walking under this trelace! I hope that everyone is having a wonderful October! Abby's 6th birthday is this Tuesday! My baby is growing up :(

Kate's First Day at Mother's Day Out
Last week was such a LONGGGG week! It is really crazy trying to get 3 girls dressed, hair done, teeth brushed, beds made, and breakfast ate before 7:25. But..we did it! We have been very fortunate to have my mother-in-law watch both girls while Michael and I are at work. Her parents are not doing very good, health wise, so she is not able to watch Kate anymore. So...I had to find daycare for Kate. Having to do this after the school year had already started was very stressful and scarey. After calling a couple of people, who watch some of my friends kids, I called Goddard. That is where Abby went to Mother's Day Out and LOVED it! I thought it was a long shot because they would be full, but thought I would give it a try. They have a Mother's Day Out (MDO) program for Kates's age that meets any, or all, days of the week. They also offer before and after school care, for working mothers and fathers. They had ONE spot left. I went and visited with the director and teacher, and Kate and I got to see her classroom. I just love Goddard! I feel totally safe leaving her there knowing that she is going to be taken care of and loved on! If you are ever in need of a place to put your kids, I would recommend them. Now...let me say this...Kate suffers from extreme seperation anxiety. I was really nervous about leaving her because I KNEW she was going to cry. Here are a few pictures before we left the house on her first day of school!
Watching Micky Mouse...she loves HIM!
