October 2014

 These are slightly out of order, but oh well. We painted our pumpkins from the pumpkin patch!

 Starting our Trick or Treating trek at the house across the street from Grandma Heit's. The girls love the ghosts in the tree and comment on them regularly. We started out in lighter jackets and soon put on winter coats because it got cold super fast when the sun went down.

 More trick or treating. I told the girls to look scared. Chelsea is the only one who heard/paid any attention.

 At the ward Halloween party.

 And now we jump back to the beginning of the month. Abby and Brie both had birthdays! Abby turned three and wanted a ladybug cake, and Brie turned five and wanted a strawberry cake.

 Auntie Jennifer also has an October birthday, so we combined all into one party. Jennifer also hosted a magic show for all of us.

 Some of the tricks were little science demonstrations or mathematic demonstrations. She did a good job!

 A pumpkin bag of candy for everyone!

 Our kids all love suckers.

 They were all interested in seeing what Jennifer got.

 A cute ladybug just like the one on her cake. She gave it a big hug, but I didn't get a picture of it. It was really sweet.

 Blowing out candles. And hiding.

 Objecting about something.

 All the party people

 During the Hostfest Grandma Kelly housed some relatives and their friend. The girls do still stay the night there on Thursdays, and with all the extra company, the girls got to sleep in the family room. Chelsea was being especially goofy this night.

 Back to Halloween. Chelsea was "Autumn Fairy"

 Brie was "Tippy Tumbelina," a Lalaloopsy character.

 Abby wanted to be Hello Kitty again, but this was the closest thing we could find. It just a black kitty, but we called it "Black Hello Kitty."

 Abby wasn't in the mood to have her picture taken. At all. I was trying to get them all to stand up and pose by the wall. The bigs were up for it, but not Abby. So this is what we got.

 Abby's mood didn't improve at the ward party. Even cupcakes didn't thrill her very much.
