Halloween

Carving the Pumpkin

Halloween Night

Maylee was a fairy (except we left her wings at home when she traveled in her car seat).

Kaleah was a cupcake.

They went trick-or-treating at the houses next to us and then we went to the local high school.  They had a trick-or-treat event where you go to the different classroom doors.  It was nice because it was lit and warm.

 Kaleah stood by herself for about 12 seconds!

 At our neighbor's house...

 Another Proud Mommy-Who-Is-A-Kindergarten-Teacher Moment

Sandy gave Maylee stickers and Maylee sorted them (pumpkins on left hand, ones that say "boo" on the right hand).  Then she held up her hands to Sandy and said, "Which hand has the most?" (Sandy picked correctly.)  Then she said "Which hand has the fewest?"  Yeah!  So many kindergartners mix up most and fewest.  I'm glad my daughter knows and applies the correct term.

Kaleah giggles every time she picks up the hula-hoop and drops it back on the floor.

October Snapshots

Bon Jovi Concert

Maylee REALLY wanted to go to the Bon Jovi concert. She even wrote "I love Bon Jovi" in my birthday card.  Unfortunately, it would be too late for her on a school night.  When we are in the car, she either requests "princess songs" or "Bon Jovi."  We took videos of some of his songs for her to watch.

She walks along furniture or by pushing this toy around....

 Once again, she crawled to the bathroom floor...

 Two sisters playing in the yard on a fall day...

Hunting Camp 2013

We went up to hunting camp for three weekends in a row.  Papa filled his elk tag.

Outside Time

 Trying to help...

 We had moose in our camp...

Maylee's fort...some of the sticks are from my old one

 My old fort...(after 22+ years)

Pumpkin Time

Around the Campfire

Can you say smores?

Hunting Excursions

 In the Camper

Both girls are in frog jammies...

For some reason, she likes to kiss all the peek-a-boo animals in this book (but doesn't kiss other books)...

 This is why I lay and read in bed while she naps.  Once she wakes, she is ready to move...

Maylee was so tired after hunting that she couldn't finish her dinner.

She just sank down to the cushion and fell asleep...

Bath time...they really needed it after four days of camping.

I had to be creative and used the largest plastic tote in our camper.
