October seems to be the busiest month for children's activites.  There are so many halloween parties and harvest festivals there is no way we could fit them all in.  This past Sunday MOMS club had their Halloween party at our house.  I did learn that I will never again be able to host a Halloween party if I plan on making the girls costumes.  I was so stressed out and busy forthe past 2 weeks.  Now that it is over I feel liberated.  Ahhhhh.  This morning I too the girls in costume to the Americana where there was a kids band plaing and there were some halloween activities.  We have come home and both girls are zonked out.  I love sitting here listiening to them sleep.  I can also hear the wind blowing outside for the first time this year.  I love fall it is my favorite time of the year.  I hope that it contiinues to cool down in the next few weeks. 


The Halloween party was a success. I think it was the most people that we have ever had in our house at the same time.  Joe was a super great husband and picked up three straw bails for a photo opp in our back yard.  This is my favorite picture of the day.



I realized about a week ago that I was not going to be able to make Olivia a bunny costume as I had planned.  I found this winnie the pooh costume at the disney store last week on sale.  I think it was perfect!



Joe was a super dad at the party and took care of the girls so I could help run the party.  Olivia was pretty good but Audrey was not so happy sharing all of her toys with so many children.  She had several time outs over the course of the party.  There were many tears shed and she was sad snow white that day. 




Audrey was a very pretty Snow White.  She loved her costume, the moment she put it on, I was so pleased.  My hard work had paid off and she looked perfect!
