Halloween 2011 Bonus



Trick-Or-Treat

Halloween 2011...what a fun night!!! The girls were very excited to dress up as their favorite princesses. Gracie decided right after Halloween last year that she wanted to be Rapunzel & she never changed her mind. She thought that she would make a good Rapunzel because of her long blond hair :) Josie debated for weeks between several princesses but finally decided upon Belle. She was especially excited about her princess shoes as they lit up...so cool!!! Mommy & Daddy joined in on the fun too as Snow White & Grumpy. Halloween was a success in their eyes as we came home with LOTS & LOTS of candy!!! A fun family night for all!!! Happy Halloween :)


Happy Halloween

Princess Greetings from Rapunzel & Belle

Halloween Dance Party



Dance, Dance, Dance


Gracie's Halloween Party



Today Gracie had her Halloween Party at school. She was able to take her costume to school for her class party & the annual parade around school. One of the "perks" of being a room mom is that I got to go to her party & parade...yay!!! I don't know who was more excited me or her :) I helped all the little girls get dressed in their costumes & walked with her whole class through the school parade. So of course, I took pictures along the way :) My favorite picture of the day is the class photo of them all dressed up in their Halloween costumes...so cute!!! At their party they enjoyed carmel apples, candy corn rice cripy treats & apple cider. The party ended with a dance party to some Halloween Classics...the monster mash, the addams family & thriller. What a fun day!?!!?

Chicago Marathon



Today we walked 2 blocks from our house to watch the Chicago Marathon. Our babysitter Liz was running in the marathon so the girls were very excited to cheer her on. Gracie & Mommy made a special sign for her & Gracie proudly held it up the entire time. And when Liz ran by us at mile 9 she stopped for a quick photo with the girls. Thanks Liz :) Mommy may run the marathon next year :)

Dieder Farms


Today we took Papa & Nana to our favorite Pumpkin Patch...Dieder Farms. After a fun-filled day of exploring the pumpkin patch & riding the amusement park rides the girls picked out their favorite pumpkins to take home so we could decorate the backyard. A quick photo with our pumpkins was a must but all Josie wanted to do was sit on her pumpkin :) It made taking a family photo quite interesting!!!
