hats off to you: we made pilgrim hats to prepare for thanksgiving. Pretty easy, but we had fun getting messy with the frosting and then of course, eating them. Last year we made turkey cookies. I guess it is just one of those things I hope to continue doing with the girls (and Bobby, too) each year.
this picture represents our family in a "nut shell"....
is this ariel or dr. evil?
livi, the little mermaid...
tricks and treats: we had a nice evening on friday. This was the first year Livi really understood how to "trick or treat". We visited all the grandmas and friends before hitting the houses. Sophia spent some time with grandma Pam and grandpa Mike, while we went door to door for candy. Bobby and I loved seeing the pure joy on Livia's face each time she walked away from each house with candy. This is what Halloween is all about!
almost halloween: we finally carved our pumpkins today. Livi helped trace, while Bobby and I cleaned out the insides and carved. Sophia watched in her chair and kept an eye on her big sister. We had a nice afternoon and Livi always keeps up laughing...
kutie katie: our friend, katie, visited us on sunday. Katie moved away to Rochester a few years back to take a better job, and I still miss her lots! It is always nice to see her and catch up on things . She looks so "kute" with Sophia (matching colors and smiles). I hope we get to see her again real soon. 
great weekend: we (the withers gang) had a nice weekend! We visited A-Maze-N Farmyard on Saturday. Livi had a pony ride...
Held some of the animals....
Then we were off to Nelson's Farm in Litchfield.
We had a nice time but we cut the trip short, since we were almost carried away by the ladybugs (or were they asian lady beetles? who cares...they were awful!)
Going to the cheap theater (aka: the state theater) to see Wall-E. 
too funny: 
white wedding: yesterday was my sister's, stephanie, wedding. I had a great time!
