The Longest's

We had so much fun this year at Halloween. We went to the zoo for Zoo goes Boo. On Halloween night the girls were so good. We had friends come over to go trick or treating with us and we had a lot of fun! The pictures are out of order, and there are a lot of them, but it was hard to pick just a few when we had soooo much fun!! Candy time after trick or treating Matt and I even dressed up this year! Out trick or treating through the neighborhood My little princesses The pumpkins! Gretchen helping mommy with candy bags for the trick or treaters!

My girls, Nora and Gretchen, are the light in my life! They bring me so much happiness everyday. Now I am not saying that it has always been easy, Gretchen graced us with colic that started when she was 2 weeks old and ended when she was 8 weeks old, she only wanted mommy and never wanted daddy, that gets very tiring after awhile! Now she is such a joy to be around. Her smile is contagious! Nora is my stubborn 3 1/2 year old. Matt says she gets her stubborness from her mommy...maybe that's true:)! She is trying to branch out on her own and be little miss independent. I think when they named it the terrible 2's they haden't met my 3 year old yet...2 was easy compared to 3!! Nevertheless, I LOVE my girls!! They are the greatest! Here are some pictures of them loving each other!!

I set this diaper box by the door to throw out, and the next thing I knew my kiddos were playing with it like it was their favorite toy! Once Gretchen was in it she WOULD NOT get out! She sat in it for probably 30 minutes watching a tv show! Everytime we asked her if she wanted out, she shook her head NO! Crazy girls!

We have made it a tradition in our house to go to Anderson and Girls every year with the girls. It is so much fun and they have a lot for the kids to do. We pick out our pumpkins while we are there too. Usually we go out and pick them ourselves, but this year it was too cold and muddy for us to do that, so we bought ones that were already picked. Even though it was cold we still had a blast! Feeding time Staring down the goats! Gretchen's turn to feed them! My crazy family! Crazy boat driver! Nora picked out her pumpkin right away It took Gretchen awhile to figure out which one she wanted
