This is Halloween: Part 1

These are pics from the Ward Trunk or Treat.  Someone please tell my kids to stop being so cute! 

Our little butterfly!

And our bug catcher!

Their friend Nora was also a butterfly so they made quite a trio (and WON the costume contest!)

OK, seriously how adorable is he?  I could not stop laughing at this kid all night.  So funny.  Lots of people thought he was supposed to be a scout, especially when he was without his net.   And mostly all night he ran around pointing at things. 

I loved watching Adella run around with these little wings on!  I wish I would have taken a video!

We had a hard time getting good pictures because they were very on the go that night.  So we took them out another day - more pics to come!

Hard Hats Required

Breakfast is a dangerous job

AZ State Fair

I was really excited to take Charlie and Adella to the fair, Adam didn't necessarily share my enthusiasm but I just knew they would love it!   While they did enjoy looking at the animals, I was disappointed in the selection of animals to see.  I guess I'm more used to small county fairs that only go on a few days so all the animals are there the whole time.   So while we did see some cows, goats, sheep and pigs, the only small animals were pigeons!  I was so hoping to show them some bunnies and chickens, but there were none! Sad!   

But actually what they liked best were the animatronic animals in the ice age exhibit.  They LOVED these life size animals that moved just a bit.   We walked around at least twice and they loved seeing them, pointing at them and then waving bye bye as soon as we moved to the next one.

Park Play

Um, yes I am very far behind on my blog - but as you can see from my last post I have a good excuse!   Yes I've been extremely tired and also extremely sick.  I made the mistake last week of going off my zofran because I didn't feel like it was helping.  Well apparantly it was at least helping a little because all week I could barely stomach eating, and when I did eat it didn't stay.  I lost 3 lbs and decided that I guess I better start taking it again!  I definitely feel 'better' though I still feel sick all day long, at least its not so bad that I can't eat at least a little.

So anyway, time to catch up a bit!

We are loving the fall weather and spending time at the park - well up until last week when I couldn't hardly do a thing!

We headed to Mesa one day for a park play date with the cousins.  Charlie and Adella still aren't too sure how to play around a lot of other kids, but they did enjoy playing in the sand!
