Madi's Birthday

 Madi turned 5 on Sunday!  She wanted a guitar cake and to dress up like a rockstar.

On Saturday afternoon we had some family over for cake and ice cream.

First Snow

We woke up to our first snow this morning.  The girls were SO excited!  It wasnt much and was pretty much gone by noon but there was enough for a couple of tiny snow men.  You can see the cute little guy the girls worked hard on in between them.  When Eric left for work in the morning he stopped to make a tiny one in the front yard without us knowing about it.  Then when he left he called the girls and told them to look out  the window.  They loved it, except i dont think they were convinced Eric made it- not so sure who they thought did it if he didnt! :)  Crazy girls!

Halloween

This past Saturday the girls went to Papa and Gogo's for a fall/costume party.  Madi chose to go as a ladybug and Taylor chose a pirate.  They had a fun night.  They went for dinner, played some games and even did a craft.

 On Sunday afternoon I decided to set up some carnival type games.  The girls had SO much fun.  We bobbed for apples (the kind of bobbing that did not soak the girls!)  Madi thought it was funny to chase around the apple but Taylor very quickly got mad because she couldnt do it!  Even Eric and I got in on the action- yeah, we couldnt catch our apples either!  (Madi thought she better dress up as a flapper for the day- gotta love after Halloween clearance to help fill their dress up box)

 We played a handful of other simple games, but the girls favorite was the toilet paper dress up! 

 Eric did a much better job of wrapping Taylor than I did on Madi.  The girls thought it was pretty funny to be able to wrap up Eric and I too.

After the games Eric helped the girls carve their pumpkin.  What a fun afternoon!
