First Snow of the year!

The kids had a blast playing in the snow and making snow men in the front yard! The snow was completely melted in two days, but they still had fun while it lasted!

Halloween was a Blast!

We had a blast with Trunk or Treat. Then Olivia went trick or treating with friends! The twins, Quinn and I covered the neighborhood. They made quite a hall with the candy and we managed to make a new friend too. Can it get any better!

School Halloween Parade!

Quinn loves to go watch the parade. I thought this year he would want to be in the parade with Olivia, but he just wanted to watch!


Olivia was a witch!

Amanda was Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz!

Elina was a cheerleader!

Quinn was a dinosaur!

Annual Pumpkin Carving Party!

So this year I was so busy helping all four kids clean and carve their pumpkins that I wasn't able to get pictures of everyone carving. All the cousins were there and it was a wild time! Amanda picked out a huge pumpkin this year and my arm was bruised from my wrist to elbow from cleaning it out. It was worth it though they had a blast. Next year no picking big pumpkins!


Quinn wanted Thomas the Train!

Amanda chose a spider!

Elina wanted a banshee!

Olivia chose the Haunted House!

Twins Friend Party!

The second party was a pool party with friends!

So as my sister loves to point out I am behind again and need to update the blog. So here goes. Amanda and Elina turned 6 in October and were lucky enough to get two birthday parties. One with the family where they made Haunted Gingerbread Houses.
