The Sleepover

The girls finally got to have their very first "official" sleepover. They invited over their best friends who are also twins - Madison (R) and Morgan (L). Maddox thought this sleepover was great. He was obsessed with Morgan and followed her all night. He couldn't understand why she would not cooperate with him when he called her name, or why he couldn't be a part of all the big girl games! Here is a photo of the next morning...Maiki was in a "mood" after the evening of no sleep and getting up WAY too early, so she wouldn't stand for the photo.

The twins' little sister Olivia came over the next morning to play for a while. Maddox gave up his obsession with Morgan and turned his affections toward the smaller one. :) Above, he ponders what he can do to make her love him...

Here, he rubs her back and gives her a little smooch. Unfortunately in photos, you can't see how she reacted. She squirmed uncomfortably trying to get away from him. Oh, that boy is going to be trouble!!! Never thought I would have to have the inappropriate touching talk at age two!

Halloween Fun...


Well, after a little mishap or two with getting everyone together, Halloween ended up being a great time for all. We met elise, Ruthann, and my mom and dad for dinner at Buffalo Bob's in downtown Lawrence. Evidently, we missed the bulletin about the start time, however, because by the time we were done, everyone was out of candy and the Halloweeners were thinning out.

So, we said goodbye and hit a local neighborhood for some more loot before heading home. The girls and I watched Amityville Horror, which is not quite as scary these days, I have to admit. They both pooped out pretty early, but we all had a really good evening. I'm sure the next dental bills will show it!

PUMPKIN CARVING!!

Okay, so the first few were a little botched, but we soon figured out which parts to actually cut out, and which parts to leave. I love this time of year... pumpkin patch, the farm tour, pumpkins galore and chilly weather (good for big fat-hiding sweaters!!) The girls, as usual, have been having a lot of fun with picking costumes, going to parties, and carving pumpkins. Here are a few of our creations. Maddox wasn't too sure about the slimy gunk, but he did like the knives. Keeping him out of them was next to impossible.

Everyone is looking forward to the festivities tomorrow night!!

Mrs. Williams Class Party Fun!

Makena's class party was also exciting with mummy wrapping, ghouls, cupcakes and all! My beautiful bride of darkness was one of the cutest of them all I must say! Her best friends Madison and Morgan were chosen to be wrapped in the mummy contest.

Maiki's Class Party for Halloween

First party at the new school! Maiki's class with Ms. Ross set up centers for "graveyard making", skeleton making, mask making, etc. The kiddos had a blast and I'm sure there will be repercussions later from all of the sugar!
