Halloween!

The girls started off Halloween week with a playgroup Halloween party!

Here are the older kids at the Halloween playgroup.

More of the older kids, being very cute!

We had a fun Halloween! Ellie got a little cold so we headed home really early. It was lots of fun!

Me and My Girls

Today we went to the Autumn Fest at Avondale Lake. Ellie and I got our faces painted.

When we got home Daddy took a picture of Meggie and I. My girls are so cute!

Even More Soccer!

We had another soccer game today. It was at 12:30 and by then most of the kiddos were kind of tired and hungry. So, it ended up being a short game. It was also the official picture day. I got behind the photographer and took my own pictures (the bad, cheap Mommy I am).

Meanwhile, Meggie was kind of sharing her snacks with Daddy.

She is suck a joker!

Another Soccer Day

We had an early soccer game this morning. The kids had a great time!

After the game we went to Mellow Mushroom for pizza. It is our favorite pizza place, yummy!

We had a really great morning at the soccer field, what a fun little family!!

Ellie with the 'tude

Ellie is very three and very full of attitude. It can be really cute and fun or really cute and frustrating. Either way, it is great to see her personality develop.

Ellie's school is right by my office so I take her and pick her up from school. Sometimes on the way home from work I need a little decompression time but it was kind of hard to decompress with Ellie talking non-stop (and, I mean non-stop) all the way home. Chris, being the genius he is, put a bunch of movies on her iPod so while she watches the movies she listens with headphones. It is wonderful, one of the many reasons I love him....such great problem solving!

Here is Ellie with her headphones, all ready for the ride home.

And, showing me a little of that attitude!

Ellie's cute little pony tail! We need to get her hair cut, it is getting super long!

And, stealing a drink of my soda. She seems to love soda, just like her parents!

The Soccer Star

Ellie and her playgroup friends started soccer today. It was really cute and fun. They were all a little overwhelmed by the crowds and noise but ended up having a good time.

Yep, this is pretty much what the game was like....

She had a fun time and is looking forward to it next week. Yay, soccer!
