Pumpkin Carving!

Granddad and Grammy helped us carve a fabulous kitty pumpkin - can't wait to make her glow!

Gooey, gooey pumpkin guts!

Kate's turn to dig

Oh, and do you like my pretty tattoo?

The pretty kitty (thanks Granddad!)

Party tricks

During dinner last night Kate decided to do party tricks. Her version of snoring. :)

Spookley the Square Pumpkin

We made brownies and decorated them like a pumpkin. Since the pan was square, it was a great way to bring "Spookley the Square Pumpkin" to life! And then we ate him.

Hair salon

We turn our backs for a minute these days and the girls are getting fancy. Kate insists that everything she wear have a skirt, including PJ's. Wow. This was a "hair salon" day.

More soccer

Abbers is turning into quite the soccer star! She's having lots of fun (as long as they are winning) and we are loving it as well. Kate wishes she could be on the field, but seems OK with cheering from the sidelines for now.

Soccer debut

First day of soccer practice and a game today. There may have been some scoring in the wrong goal and a few tears, but the "Killer Dragonflies" didn't let it get them down. The opposing team had played together the previous year, so our "never played before in their lives" girls got a little pummeled. But it was still fun...for the parents at least! Ah, the soccer memories...

Warming up

Learning how to work with the ball

Someone was enjoying the sidelines

Cheering section

Good game girls!

First Day of First Grade!

Can't believe we are parents of a big first grader...seems so much older than a Kindergartener. So far, so good! Oh, and someone has developed a fondness for the camera. :)
