So it has been awhile since we last updated. There have been lots of fun times over the past 3 weeks. Let's get started!!
~Halloween~
The girls had a blast!!! Sarah went as a butterfly and Emily went as a rooster. Sarah did great. She ran from house to house and was still going strong at 8pm when we headed in for the night. Emily was a little overwhelemed by all there was to see, I think she really just wanted to look at everyone else. Highlights for the night - Sarah and Emily getting light up bracelets from the neighbor (Thanks Mike and Vicki!) - All the compliments Emily got on her costume (thanks Jen) - Emily running up to a baby, yelling "Baby!" and then giving her a kiss - And Sarah growing up, actually walking up to each house saying "Trick or Treating!" and not needing mommy and daddy at her side.
~Finger Painting
With the new additions to the play room we felt the need to add some decorations to the walls. not only are there butterflies on the wall, now there is a finger painting complete by Sarah and Emily. Sarah was completely thrilled with the concept of finger painting, she worked for almost an hour, Emily, not so much. She did participate, just not as much as Sarah.
~Visit to the Kids Museum
Dan has been on vacation all week. We thought it would be fun to take the kids somewhere special while everyone was at home. While the zoo was the original plan, unfortunately the weatherman made it out like that wouldn't be possible (even though the weater men have no real idea what they are talking about). So instead of the zoo, fun was had at Union Terminal at the Kids Museum. They loved it. There was climbing area, kind of like the play lands at McDonalds. We were having a lot of fun until some adult guy yelled at Sarah to get out of his way because his daughter and he were going to go down the slide. They had a fun water area, the kids got to wear raincoats. There was an area specifically for kids under 4. It was so much fun. Emily said her favorite area was the gigantic ball pit, while Sarah said hers was the slide. I think they both actually enjoyed the grocery store and diner most of all though. Can't wait to go again!
There are lots of exciting things to come!! Thanksgiving, Ice Skating at the Beach, Christmas, New Years. The girls are growing up so quick, I dread seeing these days go by.
