Hello Cyberworld!
Since my last post, two things have happened to our family...Sierra's birthday and Halloween!

Princess's birthday was great this year. It was Prince's turn for the big party this year, so Princess got the small party. While the party itself was small, it was still a lot of fun! The theme was Princess and the Frog. Not only did we watch the movie, the girls had their fingernails painted and got their hair put into braids.

In addition to her party, the day of Princess's party was her last soccer game of the fall season. She did great! She scored two goals and made 4 almost goals as well. Princess is turning into quite the little soccer player!

The holidays have officially started, with the start being Halloween. This year, the whole family got into the mood with all of us dressing up. Prince was a frontiersman, although if you ask him, he was a pioneer, and what a handsome one he was! Princess dressed up as a black and white bunny. She sure was cute! Brian and I dressed up in a couple costume, we went as punks.

We started are Halloween weekend with the kids at school. They each had a class party. Then on Saturday, our neighborhood threw a carnival for all of our kids. It was a lot of fun, even if the rain did force the party inside one of the vacant houses. We ran the cake walk booth. All of the kids had a lot of fun, and so did I!
Then, later on that night, Brian and I took turns taking the kids trick or treating. We had a great time watching our kids go from house to house, and also seeing all the other kids' in their costumes while we passed out candy at our house.
Because October 31st was on a Sunday this year, most everyone celebrated on the 30th, so we actually got to celebrate two different nights. On Sunday night, we decided to have a bonfire in our driveway. We had a lot of fun with our friends that stopped by.

All he wanted to do was cut the pumpkin pieces into small diced pieces. |

It was really cold and wet, so he decided to take off his mohawk to wear a beanie |

Over all, our kickoff to the holidays was wonderful, and we are really looking forward to the Thanksgiving holiday!
