Happy Halloween!

Yay for Halloween! I was originally going to make the girls' costumes out of cardboard, but it's a good thing that I didn't because I don't think the cardboard would have lasted through all FOUR Halloween events that they got to wear their costumes to. What spoiled kids I have.

So here they are, Cookie Monster and his cookies :-)This was taken in front of our homemade scarecrow, but we took it before trick-or-treating and I think the girls didn't want to pose for a picture, they just wanted to go get their candy. The scarecrow looked even better before the windstorm that we had a few days after we put him up.

Softball Season

David plays softball every year in Longmont. Twice this year, once in the summer league and once in the Fall league, David's team won first place! The kids really like to go watch Daddy play softball, and even Elijah stands by the fence and claps. I think David likes hearing "Go Daddy! Yay Daddy!" from the stands. Now that softball is over for the year, David and Jason are talking about when they are going to go snowboarding.

Sorry the pictures are so dark. He played at night for this game, and David's not home right now to edit the pictures for me, but these were my two favorite pictures of him playing so I decided to post them anyway.

Field Trip to the Firehouse

The Tuesday before Halloween the girls went to the Firehouse for preschool. For some unknown reason, Katie got TERRIFIED when we got inside the big garage with the firetrucks. So I guess it's a good thing that I tagged along or someone else would have had to hold her while she screamed "I want to go home!"


Before we went to the firetrucks, "Fireman Hector" gave us a tour of where the firemen hang out between emergencies. Apparently the bathroom was the coolest thing ever. I guess I wouldn't mind having a bathroom with a shower that's larger than one entire bathroom in our house. Then came the firetrucks. Here you can see how happy Katie was to be there. Mrs. Shiela, the preschool teacher, decided to try on a fireman's outfit. They said that everything all together weighs 70 plus pounds.It was a long morning and this is the best we could do at getting a picture of all the kids in front of the firetruck.
