I just like this pic.

Back on Oct. 11th my wonderful friend, Michelle and I took our older girls to Dutch Wonderland one last time before the regular season ended. She was given free tickets and was nice enough to give 2 of them to us. So all four of us got in for free. It was the last day of the regular season so it was very busy! We were there for about 4 hrs. and I think we got on about 10 rides. It was great being there and not sweating while standing in line. (usually we go over the summer when it is 90 degrees and humid.) We picked a great day...it was cool and sunny. A perfect fall day! We had lots of fun. Thank you Michelle and Andrea for including us!!

Halloween

As many of you know, Halloween was on Sat. Oct. 31st. At our house, Halloween is an exciting 'holiday.' The girls love to help carve and paint pumpkins. They love putting the window cling stickers all over the door/windows. They love scarecrows, trick or treating and anything scary! We took many walks the weeks before Halloween just to see the decorations people had out.

We went trick or treating this year 2 nights. On Friday we went to Lancaster since it was supposed to rain on Sat. And we ended up going again on Sat, eventhough it was raining. It was still a fun night. Kayli invited her friend Jessie, from school. And Andrea and her family also came along. It started out pretty crappy weather wise but eventually it stopped raining and we did make it to tons of houses. I am happy to say Laney even walked around from 6-8 w/ no fuss! That is good for a 3 y/o, esp. a 3y/o that whines and screams about everything!!!!!! Needless to say, now we have so much candy in this house. I need it gone soon...those little kit-kats and dark chocolate bars are my weakness!! I am such a fat terd :)

Fall Festival

On Sat. we went to the Fall Festival at Stauffer's. We have gone every year since Kayli was 2 and it is really fun. Not to mention, super cheap. Besides the Hayride, which is only 1$/person. Everything is free. Unless you want to paint your pumpkins...then you have to pay for them.

I was very impressed this year. Laney did not scream one time on the hayride. Last year she cried almost the entire time. She likes nothing off of the ground, especially when it moves! haha Like always we had tons of fun. I love watching my girls have fun and smile. It makes me so happy!!!

Halloween costumes, the prequel

My mom was extremely kind and bought the girls their Halloween costumes this year (among many, many, many other things). As you can see, Laney wanted to be Strawberry Shortcake and Kayli, Supergirl. I wanted to try them on to make sure they fit before Halloween. And to my suprise both costumes fit them perfectly. Yah!! Thank you mom (nanny) for the costumes!! We love you :)

holding her new sparkle crocs nanny bought too!

Day of Play

Yesterday we went to the annual 'A Day in the Park' at Springettsbury Park. It was rainy and wet but we decided to check it out anyways. I am glad we did because it wasnt crowded or hot. And the girls loved it, eventhough they ended up soaked after the first 'bouncy thing' they went on.

It was also a chance for Matt and I to see just exactly how different our girls are. Kayli went on everything. No fear! Laney was so cautious, careful and apprehensive. When she first got her sock wet (since they had to take their shoes off to get on the 'stuff') she freaked out. She started crying and trying to take her socks off while asking me to "get her out of here." But it didnt last long...Kayli stepped up and got her to move along and not worry about it! Suprisingly, Laney listened to Kayli and never said another word about how wet her clothes/feet were. Yay!

Another thing that made me very happy was to see how Kayli is always trying to help Laney any way she can. She cheer'd her on and tried helping her climb the walls of the obstacle course. She even told the 2 boys that came in behind them to "be patient because my baby sister is really slow and you cant hurt her or push her aside!" She is just the sweetest thing. No matter how much she and Laney argue I know they truely adore each other. I am so grateful for my 2 beautiful, goofy girls. And I am proud to be their mamma!!

I took a lot of pics. yesterday. But I forgot my camera...had to use my cell phone. Please excuse some of the pics. they arent the best quality.
