Catching Up! September and Part of October

 Chelsea's School pictures came back. SO CUTE!!!

 Brie started dance! She's so happy to have her chance to go to class and dance. She does really well, too!

I had all three girls with Q-tip ears, but I promised Chelsea I wouldn't post it. She's starting to get embarrassed by the pictures of her that I put on the blog and on Facebook. Sigh. Oh well. I didn't make any promises to Brie!

 We made a visit to Berry Acres Pumpkin Patch on the coldest day of the season. It was fun, but so chilly!

I like this sandbox full of corn instead of sand.

 Chelsea has her arms up like the hay bale people.

 Abby in the corn.

 Abby not too happy that I put her down and then backed away from her. She didn't mind the spider at all.

 Abby wasn't too happy about being in the train. So she cried for a picture and then we took her out.

 Abby and Brie had birthdays! They each had their own cake this year. Not that they really cared either way, hehe.

 Ready to eat dinner!

 I dyed half of a white cake purple and tried to swirl the white and purple. It sort of worked.

 Decorating pumpkins!

 Auntie Jennifer also had a birthday in October. We made her some marshmallow pops shaped like lego guy heads. The girls and I had lots of fun making them.

 Beth planned a party for Jennifer that was supposed to be a surprise party. But there really aren't such things as surprises in our family. But it was lots of fun anyway! We played laser tag. The pics on Jennifer's camera came out better than mine. But I took a picture of the scores.

 The whole gang at Planet Pizza after shooting each other with lasers.

 Then we went back to Auntie Beth's house for some gifts and cake and ice cream. The house was decorated up nicely.

 

 The rest of these are all mixed up because I just pulled them from my phone. We got a new play area set up at the mall. There's no food or drink allowed, no shoes, and no strollers. Yes that is our stroller in the play area. And yes, a mall guy made a special trip from who knows where to come over and tell us to get our stroller out of there. But the kids liked sitting on the different animals.

 We stopped at Target during Jennifer's birthday celebration and couldn't resist trying these fun hats out.

 Brie and Abby had a friend party as well. They all dressed up in princess dresses (except Sadie, who didn't care for the dress options apparently) and played and got their nails done.

Abby is helping Grandma Kelly fold all the washrags. I'm actually pretty impressed with how well she did. For a two-year-old anyway. :)
