Halloween and Weekend Stuff

Hope you all enjoyed your Friday Night (Halloween). The Girls had a good time, especially Megan (she didn't want to stop). The twins did good, they walked for a while and eventually did about ten houses, before I finally said they had enough candy. Our Friends (Mark and Cristy) came over again this year to watch the kids trick or treat. Also, Uncle Bob came over for the weekend and he ended up coming half way through (trick or treating), because I assured him traffic would be light on Friday. Well apparently I was wrong. Sorry Bob! Overall, the entire night was a good time.

Saturday, we all went shopping at Great Lakes Crossing for x-mas outfits for pictures as thanksgiving and x-mas are only three weeks apart this year. So we need to get the pictures early. Then Saturday night was a neighbors son's 1st birthday party which was a good time.

Sunday was lazy as we basically just played with the kids, did some chores, played some Wii (video games) and watch some TV.

That is about it. Below are some pictures from Friday.

Megan's Loot

Carving Out Some Fun!

We spent the evening tonight carving our pumpkins. Megan had a blast and Annalyse and Meredith were intrigued for about 10 minutes. The twins didn't mind playing with the scoops but one quick touch of the "guts" was enough for them.

Fall Fun

We had a nice weekend, the weather could have been a little better but we had good company. My parents and my sister came for a visit this weekend. On Saturday, Megan went and listened to stories at the "Old Stone School" by our house. The kids were supposed to dress up as their favorite superhero or storybook character so Megan dressed up as "Fancy Nancy," she looked pretty cute!:) Then we were off to take some fall pictures, they turned out pretty well, always intresting to get the three kids looking good. Saturday night we went to dinner and then to the "Zoo Boo." The Zoo Boo is always a fun time looking at all the kids in costumes and seeing the "pumpkin animals." Sunday we layed back and played in the leaves and took some pictures of the girls in their Halloween costumes, as the actual day turns out to be quite hectic. Thanks for a great weekend! We had a great weekend and the girls enjoyed spending time with you - Grammy, Papa, and Auntie Annette!

More Photoshop

Beautiful Nights

Here are some pictures from Thursday night. The weather here has been beautiful.

Weekend Happenings

It was a nice weekend here in Detroit, a little chilly but nice and sunny. On Saturday, we went to visit Uncle Bob in Ann Arbor. A few months ago, he let Megan borrow a cd of children's nature songs. Megan (and Mike and I we must admit) has gotten quite fond of the music and knows most of the songs by heart. The singer Joe Reilly was having a concert at Uncle Bob's work Saturday afternoon, so went there for a fun time. It was a beautiful fall day. Megan enjoyed herself, she stood up with the other kids and sang and danced the whole time. The twins also enjoyed themselves, they ate pretzels and animal crackers through the whole entire thing - at least it kept them entertained.




Today, we did some projects around the house and took out the Halloween decorations. We tried to get some fall pictures of the girls as well.
