Halloween 2012

Halloween started 5 days early for us at a party with our adoption play group friends.  Lizzy was in China camp with a lot of these kiddos
Mavis and a Little Witch


LaoLao and Papa took the girls to another pumpkin patch.  Lizzy picked out this 40 something pound pumpkin and proudly carved it and displayed it on our front step.

On Halloween I was able to be at both girls schools for their parties.  Annie is very happy to see me as she participates in her costume parade.

Annie and her classmates and teachers.

Waiting for her turn in the donut game.

Trying to catch it and take a bite.

That's thinking it through girly!!

Got it!

Sitting with our friends and waiting for the treat from Mrs. Rudy

Busting a move with Katie.

After Annie's party we headed over to Lizzy's school for her party.  Lizzy's classmates let Annie join them for their costume parade.

So proud to be walking with her big sister in the "Big kid parade"

Mummy wrap time.

It looks like Annie is having a little more fun than Lizzy is.

First Trick-or-Treat stop.

Who ya gonna call!

Score!!!  M&Ms

There are not to many Trick-or-Treat pictures because this is how it went.  1) Knock Knock 2) Lizzy and Kate burst forth in a song 3) Annie pushes past them as they sing yelling "Trick-or-Treat Thank you" 4) Annie thrusts her bag at the poor person behind the door trying to figure out what Annie is yelling and why the other two are singing 5) Annie having achieved being treated dashes to the next lawn where she would cry and complain that it was taking to long for Lizzy and Kay-tree-ona to get to her 6) Lizzy and Kate finish their song get treated and say "Thank you"...repeat!

Trick-or-Treating is over when the puppy is to pooped to go anymore.


Lizzy's Big Change

This is how Lizzy started her day (by the way her clothes are inside out because of Red Ribbon Week)

Look at all of that hair!!

Lizzy was excited to go and see Ms. Laura

Braided and ready to be gone...

Snip snip

That look clearly says "Oh crap what did I do!!"

Finishing up the styling.

One happy girl.

Look at how short it is!!

The Twins turn 21!!

K-Marie, Pat and Jessa all share a birthday.  Jessa turned 18 on the same day the twins turned 21.  There was a big party at Chris' house to celebrate.

Birthday Girl Jessa

Birthday folks K-Marie and Pat

Annie had ice cream and her Godfather Uncle Jeff so she was very happy.

2012 Pumpkin Patch

The day got off to a great start with Peebs happy to see Annie and Annie returning the feeling.

There were 2 TeePees set up.  


Trike Chick

How.....are you doing?

And just what does one do inside of a Teepee?  Swing on the rope of course!

Peebs getting some help from her Daddy on the tricycle.

Biker babe

Lizzy was very proud of this rock for some reason and asked me to take this picture.

Annie had a whole bunch of fun running up and

and down this little mound.


The most fun was had by holding Daddy's hands and....

.....jumping off of the top.





Annie was in love with this little pumpkin.  She was almost hit by car on the way back to our car because she was walking backwards making sure her pumpkin wouldn't fall.

The petting zoo had baby bunnies.

Peebs exploring farm animals.

"Hey Mama are you a Llama?"





Annie just loves the John Deer


Papa scored on this wagon.  Annie had a blast pulling this wagon with her  little pumpkin, the donuts and the kettle corn.


Picking out the perfect one.

Taking turns counting and pulling


Now Lizzy will lead.


Me with my little pumpkins.
