Halloween

Happy Halloween!

We've had a busy day. Both girls had parties at their schools and then we went to Trick or Trunk at our church. Trick or Trunk is where we line cars up in the parking lot and everyone decorates like we would decorate our porches. Then the kids go down the line doing their trick or treating. Here are some pictures of the girls and some of the cars. Ava was Peter Pan and Ella was Tinkerbelle. I think a fun time was had by all. We also went to a pumpkin patch and to Ava's fall festival at her school last weekend. And finally, we had a pretty cool full moon and it made a really spooky picture. I thought it was appropriate to add.

Ava's 6th B-Day

It was a low-key evening at home with the nuclear family. Ava has been looking forward to her birthday for quite a while (since the last one, I think). Everything she sees on TV is something she wants for her birthday. I suppose that will start again tomorrow.

We had a nice dinner with cake and presents.

The checkers were a big hit. Ava is quite a competitor--and she wasn't too happy that daddy didn't let her win (I guess she comes by the competitiveness honestly :-).

She loved all of her gifts. We set them all aside to play with one per evening for the next week or so.

Ava Looses a Tooth

Ava lost her first baby tooth tonight. It is possibly the world's smallest tooth, but she is very proud and excited. It fell out naturally (without thread or doorknob assistance) while she was taking a bedtime sip of water. She obviously didn't stay in bed after that.


PS For any of ya'll wondering, our kids do wear clothes sometimes. Mainly when they go out in public. But once they get home we can't seem to keep them on. We've kinda given up so needless to say, when we need to catch a priceless moment, it usually means sens the shirt.
