Reluctant Ballerinas

I've been saying forever "Nah, we won't pay for dance lessons, I can teach them at home" Well, until now I never actually got around to it, so for a first try it went ok. Laurel did ok, I think they liked getting dressed up the most, but after that it was all downhill. Angelinne was crying the whole time and wanted me to hold her. Laurel and I warmed up and stretched and did some piles but that's about as far as we got! They sure looked cute in their ballerina outfits though!

Hello

Hi. I wanted to post something for Set in case he gets a chance to check this. Hi honey, i miss you. Wish you were here, but I hope you're having a good visit with your family. I love you!

Dancing Queen

Angelinne my dancing queen was caught on video this week. She's still a little camera shy. She gets facinated with things like the camera, the sink, the toilet, the phone, etc. So we try to keep control over those things. Her new word last week was "Panda" as a result of all the hype for KungFu Panda that just came out on DVD. I hope y'all enjoy this video, and yes, I would have liked to seen Set dancing too, but he wouldn't let me.

Halloween Fun

We enjoyed a wonderfully Happy Halloween this year. I'm sure it will be one we will remember always! We got to go Trick-or-treating at our favorite people's houses and had a little party at Mom's. Set took the girls around Mom's neighborhood and then Angie and I went to visit a few people we haven't seen in a long time. We had fun and it was fun to dress up. I went as Giselle from Enchanted, Set painted his face just for fun, Laurel was a Flower and Angie was a Teddy Bear. Aedan sneaks in almost all the pictures we take, so he's in this one with us as Spiderman! Boy were those kids happy to get some candy! I tried to sneak away Angie's candy and she would not have it! She wanted to hold a piece in each hand. But luckily her new word for this week in addition to last weeks "bad guys" is "thank you" so she was as charming as ever for all our friends and family who we visited last night.

Tour of the backyard by Ammon

This video is for Dad. Ammon wanted to record some of our playtime in the backyard on Sunday so this is the one I pick to post for you Dad. The weather has been nice all week so we've been enjoying playtime outside. The apples are red and ready to brought in, but we've been so busy with Halloween plans it's hard to get everything done!

Aaaahhhhhh.....

water is oh so refreshing! My little Angelinne is so precious! We get to hang out together while Laurel is at school and she hardly ever surprises me. But when she let me take her picture without insisting on holding the camera I was surprised. She still looks and acts so much like Laurel did at that age I feel like I know just what to expect.

Aedan

My nephew who sits still the longest, and still looks at me (or in this case Laurel) while I take a picture is Aedan. Thanks Laurel for taking this cute picture for me! Angelinne is in the background reaching something on the table there. The kids are getting so revved up for Halloween! We've been putting up decorations and preparing our costumes. It's fun to see then get so excited!
