CPC Fall Festival 2007

Last night was the annual Fall Festival at church, and the girls had a blast!!! We dressed them up as a Buffalo Bills player (or former player as the case may be --Doug Flutie) and a Bills cheerleader (Abbie was also a cheerleader for her 2nd Fall Festival (in TN)). There were lots of games, treats, activities, etc. for the kiddos to do. Inadvertently, the only pic of Kate of the night...

maybe my friends have more

Carving Pumpkins with Daddy

After our bout with the SLOPPY joes (see next post),

the girls and Ed worked on their pumpkins for

the Fall Festival at church. They had a great time

digging out all the insides and getting them ready for

Daddy to do the actual carving part. I put what in where???
"Or should I put it back in the pumpkin"

(which is what Daddy found her doing)
"I am coloring Elmo on mine"
This is fun!!!

(who actually looks like a monster)
The pair finished and ready to go...

we call them SLOPPY joes

Saturday night, we had sloppy joes, which as you can tell,

with 2 little girls live up to the sloppy part.

The girls really do EAT them, but why would you

call them sloppy if you can't have fun with them too... I hear it is good for the skin...
I LOVE SLOPPY JOES
HELP!!! I am messy!!!

Briley's Pumpkin Patch, without pumpkins

A couple Saturdays ago (the last Saturday I wasn't at Sylvan),

Abbie's soccer game was near the pumpkin patch,

and since the weather has not made it seem like fall,

we hoped seeing pumpkins would, so we went up

the road to Briley's Pumpkin Patch. Besides the

pumpkin patch, which we did not actually visit,

they have a HUGE sand play area, a great playground,

animals, and a lot of other fun stuff. Kate on the playground
My cute duck and sheep...
The cow says "moo"
At least I am taller than Abbie's shadow!!!
I don't care how big, I am I want to look at the pumpin!!

We went to the fire station!!!

A couple weeks ago we went to the fire station for

our annual trip during fire prevention week.

Abbie and I were able to go last year as well

(even though Kate was sick) and Abbie has

talked about it ever since. Abbie, her friend, Megan, and the fireman on the truck
Kate (and her ever-present baby) on the truck
Megan and Abbie IN the truck
After the fire station, we went to the park...

here is Kate headed up the stairs
and Abbie in a cage!!!

Uncle Ray, Auntie Tara, and Arreil visit

A couple weekends ago, Ed's brother, Raymond,

his wife, Tara, and daughter Arreil (and Tara's neice, Sarah)

came for a visit on their way to Myrtle Beach, SC.

We had not seen them since we were up north last August,

and Kate and Arreil were both babies. It was a lot of fun

to have them here and Arreil, who is 2 months younger

than Kate, and Kate enjoyed playing together.

They will have a lot of fun playing next summer,

when we are hoping to get back up north.

YUMMY YOGURT

The other day, I got some yogurt on sale and Kate

decided that was what she wanted for lunch...

well, I guess I failed to mention to her that it is supposed

to go INTO the mouth, because as you can see, she made quite a mess...

These pictures were actually taken 2 different days!!!yogurt baby
is this how you eat it??
I LOVE a mess!!!
yogurt and doritos...YUMMY
I think I will drink it...
Look what I did!!!
Mommy cleaned me up :(
I like being messy!!!

NEWSFLASH....

ABBIE HAS A MESSY FACE!!!!

As I mentioned in a previous post, my sweet Abbie

does NOT like to be messy, but I was able to catch her

with a messy face on not one, but TWO occassions... Playing with her "friends" in the playroom
Eating lunch (doritos, I think)

Just because she is cute...

These are just a couple pics of Kate that I snapped one day...

I just think she looks so cute!!!" Aren't I a cutie?"
"What are you looking at"
