Abby's birthday

It is hard to believe that Abby is 7 years. But it is true. For her birthday, we had 2 birthday parties. One party was at Michaels with a bunch of her girlfriends from school. Abby had fun making bracelets there with all her friends from school and a few friends from the neighborhood. Then, we had a party at home in the evening for close family and friends who were not the 1st party. So, she had a big day and got lots of great gifts! Thanks everyone who came and celebrated with us and helped to make her birthday so special.

What's new in November?

This month, we got to watcg Abby in her ballet class. It was neat to see how much she has grown since she first started ballet. She seems to be enjoying it much more this year.

She also had her her Booster funrun at school. It was the school's only fundraiser of the year. She was really excited about it and really wanted to earn that fitness fun pack. Thanks everyone who donated so that she could get that fun pack! I don't know why she wanted that so badly. But that was her goal, and she made it, thank goodness!

The Mermaid and the Not So Smilely Shark

This halloween did not turn out so great. The weather was awful and Carter man was not feeling so wel, as you can tell from his picture. So, we only went to two houses and went back home. I took Abby back out to a few more houses after dinner while Steve stayed home with Carter because she still wanted to go trick or treating. But it was still nasty out, so we only went to a few houses. Better luck next year.

The pumpkin patch and pizza party

We had a lot fun in October. We went to pumpkin patch to find just the right pumpkin. The kids had so much fun running around looking at the different pumpkins and picking them up. We finally found the perfect pumpkin for our pirate pumpkin. Arrggghh!!

Later in the month, we had a pizza party. What messy fun that was!! My lil' "Abby Ray" did such a great job making her pizza and was so helpful to her brother.
