Super Scary Halloween

The girls were a Vampire (Riley) and her Vampire Bat (Hailey) this year.  First, Riley drew her design for her cape...she was very specific about a red & green inside and black outside, as you can see from her drawing:

Halloween day the girls had a big parade at school:

Then Trick-or-Treating of course!

And last but certainly not least, we have the professional shots, thanks of course to our friend Jeff Weeks:

The Zombie middle school teacher:

And finally, my favorite!

Last Day of Soccer & Post Soccer Orchard Trip

Saturday was the last day of soccer, and it ended much better than it started!!  The girls improved tremendously and even had one week with absolutely no tears.  That was really the best we could hope for.

 We followed soccer with a great trip to the orchard.  What a beautiful fall weekend!

Hailey biting off more than she can chew.

Serious business.

We capped off the weekend today with a nice pre Tractor Parade brunch with Ethan & Meaghan and then enjoyed a beautiful sunny Tractor Parade!  Unfortunately, I forgot the camera.  At least we had it yesterday!

A Happy Artist

Hailey's Kindergarten teacher emailed me this picture.  The improvements in coloring, writing, and painting for both girls have been huge in the last 6 weeks! Not to mention the math they're figuring out on their own.  They declared to me first thing one Saturday morning, "mommy, we figured out 'minus'! 10+10-2 is 18!"  We're in trouble.

Some decent shots

And then Jeff Weeks took these pictures...
