Halloween

They were so excited for Halloween this year.  All three wanted to be "pink princesses".  We gently suggested other costumes (or even different colors) but they wouldn't have it any other way.

We had a big group of kids trick or treating.  They were chanting "we want candy", while they waited for the adults to get ready.  I remember seeing big smiles on all their little faces.

These pictures make me laugh.. 

The princess pose... with the hats that wouldn't stay....

C wanted a crown.  Love that she wanted to be different!

It was a lot of fun!  Then we all got sick and had to take antibiotics.  =)

This past weekend, Vanessa invited us to a family picnic.  The weather was perfect!  Again,  my camera settings were off and I didn't pay any attention.  Owell.... live and learn....

They are best friends.  All three of them!

Pumpkins

We let the girls' pick out their pumpkins at a church near by.  One of the dials on my camera moved and I didn't notice.  I keep thinking we'll hit up one of the big pumpkin patches or the Dallas Arboretum and then I'll get my picture..... Owell, these will have to do...

While Scarlett was at school, the twins and I went on adventure.  They took turns being the leader and at one point they walked side by side so that they could each lead together.

Come on, mom!

 

 

 

 

Port A in October

 Scarlett's always asking if we could go to the beach again.  We figured it was a good time since she had 2 days off of school and cooler temps were coming.  We actually only had one day of warm swimming weather but they didn't mind.  Scarlett didn't mind that I forgot her suitcase at home either.  oops!

Making pies.

Looking for treasures.

They love everything about the beach.  The water,  mud,  and sun is all right with them.

Then,  the front came and we spent the day at the aquarium and eating fresh seafood. The next day we hit the beach before driving home.  It was pretty cool out but the girls still got wet and had fun playing.

They run around so much.  It's great exercise!

Making a birthday cake.

I'm glad that I've got these candid pictures of the kids playing, imagining, and concentrating.  When they're grown up, they can look back at these pictures of their cute little selves.  I'm pretty sure they won't remember these trips later on.

Remembering: 2008, Baptism, Colombia and Family.

We've started to prepare for C & M's baptism.  We really did wait a lot longer with the twins than with Scarlett.  I found myself looking back at old pictures from Scarlett's baptism.

It took place in beautiful Colombia.

The church.

Baptism.

The celebration.

                                                                    

                                                We need to go back.  Take the twins too.

Just a cute little girl with her dog.
