Happy Halloween!!!!

As you can see by the first few pics of the night, they didn't like those hoods of theirs, so we opted for Dora hats instead!!! We had a cow (Emma), a Shark (Krew Kircher) and an Ella-phant!!! By the end of the evening, the girls really struggled to get up any stairs (literally falling over everything, I think people thought they were special!!) carrying those buckets (and yes we emptied them to lighten the load!!). It was kinda hard to watch towards the end!!! Daddy kept asking, "Are we happy or tired?" First we started with both happy, than one happy and one tired, and we quit when both were "tired daddy." Our favorite give-away this year is a house that gave away cans of pop. We didn't know what it was they handed out until Ella came down the driveway, stopping in the middle to pull it out saying, "I don't like beer!!" It was a super fun time and thanks for having us Kircher's!!

Oh, ya gotta love a pile of leaves!!!!

Happy Birthday A.C.E.!!!!

The girls and I went out with Aunt Carrie on her birthday for some fun at the Dinosaur Museum and park!!

Happy Birthday Cousin Abby!!

The girls, A.C.E., and I all went to Cousin Abby's swimming birthday party!!

Fun Times

The girls learned how to ride their bikes down the ramp and fun times with daddy!!

Halloween Friends

Earlier this month, we decorated for Halloween and met some of our new friends!! We have Charlie, the Ghost, and The Witch (cleverly named!!). Charlie came from the first name that popped into my head when they asked, "who's that mommy?" And the witch is a morning and afternoon staple...."Goodbye Witch"......"Hi Witch" pulling in and out of the driveway each day!!

Once again, sorry!

Haven't been too good at taking pics, so haven't been too good at posting!! The girls are talking like crazy and it scares me a bit when I realize I'm having a conversation with my child!! Ella is quite a messy, chatty, silly, likes to sing, loud little girl these days! Emma is very clean, tidy, wants to be mommy, bossy little one these days! Emma has quite the attitude and walks around with a little swagger to her (watch out, she's only 2!!) and Ella gets her feelings hurt pretty easy!!! I use the phrase "that's a big girl or that's not being a big girl" quite often, so Ella gets upset with me when she thinks I don't think she's a big girl!! They are big into talking about feelings (as I ask them daily if they are happy or grumpy when I pick them up) and will often just blurt out they are happy, or ask me if I'm mad when they get into trouble, or tell me the other is sad and their happy, etc!! Boy, can you tell what I do for a living!! We like to sing songs on the way home from daycare and this is the best part of the day for all of us!! Their version of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star is quite adorable!!

"Tinkel, tinkel, ital, ar, tinkel, tinkel, ital ar, up, up wud so high, tinkel, tinkel, ital, ar!!"

"Rarrrrrrrrr"

Boy are we gearing up for Halloween! The girls really get into masks and scaring you!! The last pic is them scaring eachother!!
