Happy Halloween a couple weeks later

Here are the girls on Halloween night... we went trunk or treating at Teresa's church, got some candy, went to chik-fil-a for FREE kids meals, and then walked to doug and irma's house for a treat even though they weren't handing out candy!

A couple weeks late!!!

here they are in halloween costumes... isn't ruthie the happiest cheer bear you have ever seen? I think she might of smiled once the whole night!!!

a borrowed crown!!

Here are the girls at the botanical gardens the other day or a week or so ago! Elly m. borrowed olivia's crown. I was thinking something funny the other day because someone called ruthie a little princess... and i just laughed to myself because i think of her more as a queen personality, so not a petite little princess... but more upper royalty in her blood... just ask her farfar in sweden.... with king blood running in the family... your bound to get a queen.

cat nap...

literally! I found ruthie sleeping with rubbah the cat!!! I am glad the only one that woke up was rubbah and not ruthie!!!

portraits in a boat

Here are the girls in the boat at the zoo..i think i have a hundred of these already from the boat at the zoo.

Friends!

I was telling Adrienne just the other day that I am kind of jealous of my children and their already wonderful friends! I mean if you start off as friends from the day you are born, you already have almost as much history as jonathan and i will have!!! What wonderful friendships my children are going to have!

Have you hugged your pumpkin lately?

Here are a few fall photos of the girls... a couple weeks ago.. or closer to a month ago now.. sorry! Anyways.. first photos i have ever had the thought that they might actually look like sisters!! wow...
