Trick-or-Treat Take 1

Sammie was a midnight fairy

My little pink dinosaur

Making scary faces!

Sammie was such a good big sister helping Erin with all of the stairs.

Our poor wagon gets the most mileage during trick-or-treat!

The girls were looking forward to trick-or-treat all week. This is the first year Erin really understood what was going on and would walk up to a house on her own. Her face lit up when I first told her what was going to happen and she was excited after each house, showing us what she had gotten. Sammie was trying to collect as many Reese's Cups as she could. I think she almost made it to 10. They are now in practice for Saturday's trick-or-treat in grandma-great's neighborhood!

Sammie's First Dance in Costume

Sammie preformed with the intermediate dance group for the first time Friday night at St. George's Oktoberfest. It was so exciting to help her get dressed in her costume for the first time! I was fighting the tears as I watched her take the dance floor. She's growing up so fast and we are so proud of her! After her performance she ate a quick dinner and then joined some of the members of the senior dance group to dance for fun! Proof that she really does love to dance!

Counting

In 3 different languages: Greek, Spanish, then English!

Harriet

Harriet has been a pain and a joy. The top picture features her in her new e-collar. She received this collar after removing a set of stitches, a set of staples and the plastic e-collar constantly following her spay. It's been 2 days since she's had this collar and her new stitches and one staple. We're hoping that she actually lets this heal now! In the mean time, she's been locked in our room at night so that she doesn't keep up awake crying from the bathroom.

The video although a little dark shows her chasing the mouse cursor on the screen. She even "caught" it a couple of times. Too funny and one of the reasons she's been a joy!

Latest Cake

I was asked to make a cake for a fundraising bake sale at work. I decided to go for a Fall theme and researched online how to make mums. I think they turned out pretty good!

A Sore Throat and a Broken Heart

George and I went to the Brown vs. Bengals game on Sunday. It was the most energetic and fun game we've been to since 2007, even though we lost, in overtime. George compares it to a movie. We may not have liked the ending, but it was entertaining to watch! Since October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the NFL is raising awareness by sporting lots of pink. At the beginning of the game, a new Browns flag was displayed on the field and was held by local breast cancer survivors. They also chose one survivor to take part in the coin toss. Very cool!

Dessert

Everyone's favorite time of the evening!
