From Last Week to Halloween

It has been well over a week since I have posted anything. We have been so busy it is unreal! The last post I wrote was the night before Liv's school pumpkin patch. She was so excited that night and even more so the morning of. I took her to school that day and they were setting it all up when we got there. It was so darn cute! Liv had a great day and got to ride the blue choo-choo train and brought home a pumpkin of her own.
We have also been to Oklahoma since the last post. My sister-in-law, Emmy, is having the first boy in the family this December (and when I mean 1st boy...there are currently 6 girls on my side and 8 on Terry's side) and her baby shower was this past Saturday. We had a great time getting to visit and spend time with everyone and the shower was lots of fun! She got lots of great stuff...so weird seeing all the blue and the camo in actual green and not pink!
This week started off busy with Liv's dance class she has first thing on Monday morning. She did great and is getting the routine down that she will be performing at Christmas time and also her big recital at UNT this next May. The week continued to be busy with everything from Liv's school to work and to shopping for Halloween decorations. This is Zoe after a day of shopping!



Then the really busy day...Friday...Halloween! But what a fun day it was! We ran a few errands that day and I actually got the girls down for a GOOD nap! A 2 hour nap! I was thrilled! Terry left the house early to go get the car set up at the church for Trunk or Treat. That left me to get both girls in their costumes and out the door in a timely fashion. It all went relatively smooth. Liv was a princess and Zoe was a bumble bee.





They were adorable and both had alot of fun! We got to the church about 6:15 and didn't get home til about 9:40. Here is a pic of the girls the morning after....looking a bit tired after a night of "trunk or treating"....

What a great night it was though..long....but awesome! Liv had more fun passing out the candy than she did walking around and getting it and Zoe had more fun eating it! Almost as fast as she got it! I just knew that she was going to be sick but she wasn't...just a little more hyper than normal! We saw lots of friends there! Liv was very excited to see Grace and Catherine! She loved seeing Maylee and of course her teacher, Ms. Kristina and Baby Benjamin! Zoe saw her teachers, Ms. Connie and Ms. Michelle and waved at them and didn't shed one tear! She loves them but is still going through the attachment stage so when she sees them she always assumes we are leaving her!
Anyways...we had a terrific Halloween and now I am totally excited that Christmas is near! That is my favorite time of year and I will soon have my tree and decorations put up!
