Strike

We took the girls bowling on Fri. in lieu of trick-or-treating.  So, we took dress up for them to wear.

 

Watching in anticipation.

Three cute girls!

Their 1st bowling experience.

They loved it...except when Maria dropped a ball on her toe.

SO happy with herself.

The girls were so crazy, can we say tired.  Who needs bowling when you can spin and roll around on the floor.

Forever friends are the best friends.

His attempt to block my picture of him, and he ordered me to delete it after I took it.

Can you tell Anna is SO tired...at least they both fell asleep on the way home and didn't fully wake when we carried them up to bed.

We have plenty to praise God for; fun with friends!

carving the pumpkins

 Maria wanted her to be scary with mean sharp teeth, Anna's is the typical happy face!

We have plenty to praise God for; two girls willing to get into the guts!

a fall day

We have plenty to praise God for; when daddy takes big sister with him and little sister gets an outing with mom all by herself.

 Playing in the corn box is their favorite!

 The perfect one!

We have plenty to praise God for; seasons to enjoy.

Apple picking

Last week we met for playgroup at Countryside Orchard, just south of Culver.  We brought home a huge bag of apples, and full tummies.  I think both girls had at least two apples apiece while we were there and one on the ride home!  We love going there, it's our 3rd time. 

Anna and her buddy Scotty!

 Bird nest hats the girls made at the library storytime.

 We visited my sister just after her birthday.  Here is Aunt Michele opening Maria's present...

 Anna loves Uncle Jeff; she was teaching him how to properly play this instrument.
