Fun, fun, fun!

A note from mom: It has been non-stop fun around here and I am afraid it is only going to get more hectic! Cool weather is slowly coming around but with it comes lots of things to do (hence the lack of blog posts!). Looking forward to more holidays and quality time with friends and family. Grandma and Papa Coleman visited a couple of weeks ago and we were able to play and have Halloween with them. Can't wait for them to come back. The time always goes so quickly! We hope everyone has had a wonderful fall so far. Looking forward to all the fun coming up. Hopefully the camera will be handy to capture all of those moments!

Trick-or-Treat

Whew! We made it though Halloween! We have been partying fools here--a playgroup party at the park, trick or treating at the retirement villas and two parties and trick or treating on Sunday night. We logged some time in our costumes--my shoulders were beat by Sunday night! I, of course was a garbage truck because I live and die for the Waste Management truck and Campbell was a fairy princess. Mom and I have been working on the garbage truck for a couple of weeks. Not too bad for a couple of boxes and spray paint! I LOVED being a garbage truck and parked it in the garage so I can still look at it everyday. I will probably be it again next year. :) We had a great time getting candy and being with our friends. Such a fun time of year!

Doing a craft

Off we go!

Some of the daddos Sunday night (our dad is in the blond wig--he was DOG the bounty hunter)

The mommas on Sunday night

Some of us kiddos on Halloween. There were over 60 people trick or treating! Everyone dressed up-even the parents. What a fun group!

The carving

I did my first pumpkin carve this year. I don't know why mom and dad never did this before with me...the gunk and the seeds and the pumpkin smell was SO fun! Why would anyone not want to do this with an impatient, strong willed child? :) I on the other hand was a star student. Mom helped me draw on my face, I watched ever so patiently as daddo cut, I assisted with the scooping of the guts and then lit it up with my pumpkin flashlight so perfectly. Now the debut of my masterpiece...

Treasure

Look what was in our kitchen after nap? The pumpkin fairy dropped it off! I explored this fun thing for about 30 minutes. Mom said it was a great babysitter!

Happy 85!

Papa Maurice (mom's grandpa) turned 85 in October so we went to Phoenix to help him celebrate. We had lunch, balloons and a cake to complete the party--carrot cake for the adults--purple, gooey, sprinkly cupcakes for the kids. What a way to celebrate 85! Happy b-day Papa Maurice!!

New talent

Are you looking for some new talent to join your band? Well Coleman and I just may fit the bill. Daddo brought us back a couple of harmonicas from his last business trip--what a treat! We figured these things out in a snap and we have been making music ever since.
