 |
| Lilly's style! |
 |
| Wendy loves to climb trees! |
 |
| And hates posing for pictures. |
 |
| Wendy's been working on perfecting her cartwheel. |
 |
| And we just had to visit the "spider house"! They added a huge skeleton this year which the girls loved! |
 |
| Wendy's school opened for in person classes so she opted to go. These were her 2nd round of back to school pictures. |
 |
| Every morning before I drop her off, I have to fill out a survey and get the "green screen" in order for her to be admitted to school. |
 |
| And there she is waiting to get her temperature checked with her mask on! She has loved in-person school and hasn't complained about wearing a mask once! |
 |
| When I got home to take Lilly to preschool, she was ready to go in this perfectly pink outfit. |
 |
| Trying out some different hair styles. |
 |
| Wendy has also been working on perfecting her split. She's so close! |
 |
| Enjoying a bike ride with daddy. |
 |
| Her "lean in" position for going fast. |
 |
| Church also started up again. It looks a little bizarre with every other row empty and all the faces masked but it's a strange indication of normalcy. |
 |
| Waiting in line to pick up Wendy from school and Lilly wanted to dance in the sunroof. |
 |
| The elementary school students were very entertained! |
 |
| Even though Wendy loves her big-girl bike, she and Lilly still fight over this tricycle! |
 |
| After waiting in line to drop Wendy off for a couple days, Wendy told me she wanted to try walking in to school. We live too far away from the school to walk to it but I parked a little ways away from the school and we enjoyed a nice casual stroll in. |
 |
| We have been trying different restaurants around town once a week and this one was nice and empty for Lilly to stroll around while we waited for our food. |
 |
| Capturing the cuteness! |
 |
| Dessert was enjoyed by all! |
 |
| Wendy was being sweet one day and made Lilly a snack. |
 |
| Birthday parties are still a thing! This was a princess themed party and there were fun balloons to play with. |
 |
| Lilly with her drink of choice. |
 |
| Elsa came! |
 |
| She danced with the kiddos. |
 |
| And painted faces. |
 |
| Lilly's "Elsa" pose. |
 |
| Wendy's turn to get her face painted. |
 |
| There was an opening in Elsa's chair so Wendy decided to get her face painted twice. |
 |
| Some private time with Elsa. |
 |
| Divas! |
 |
| All together now! |
 |
| Wendy's doodling at church. |
 |
| Finding new play grounds. |
 |
| Finding Lilly in different sleeping positions. |
 |
| Saying "bye" to daddy before school. |
 |
| I pin recipes year round to try at different times and it was time to try some Halloween recipes! Pumpkin spiced toffee roll out cookies, chocolate roll out cookies and pumpkin spiced donuts. |
 |
| I'm really trying to work on my icing skills. |
 |
 |
| Lining up the plates to deliver the treats to friends and neighbors! |
 |
| On top of the cookies and donuts, I made "grave yard" brownies, vanilla "mummy macs", and caramel apple macaroons. It was three days well spent but I was ready to hang my apron when all was said and done! |
 |
| Our neighbors are so sweet to the girls. Once I delivered their cookies, one of them gave them a Halloween present! Inside were these light up pumpkin wands. The girls had a dance party. |
 |
| Bubble baths are still the best! |
 |
| We can't have fall without a pumpkin patch visit! |
 |
| The kiddos made sure to take pictures with alll the signs! |
 |
| Riding in the barrel train. |
 |
| Holding hands on the hay ride. |
 |
| We held hands too :) |
 |
| Feeding the goats. |
 |
| Entering the corn maze! |
 |
| Lilly wasn't quite tall enough. |
 |
| PJ got in on the fun too. |
 |
| Wendy on her first horse! |
 |
| She loved it! |
 |
| Jumping on the giant bounce pillow. |
 |
| And of course pictures with pumpkins! |
 |
| While waiting for Wendy to get out of dance, Lilly decided to hide/play in the floorboard of the passenger seat. |
 |
| Parenthood summed up! Lilly was explaining her game to PJ and PJ was blissfully unaware and napping. |
 |
| All the loot from Lilly's preschool Halloween party! |
 |
| Checking out the Goodwill. Lilly had the time of her life trying out the different "antique" furniture. |
 |
| And playing with the toys. |
 |
| We made sure to get our glow in the dark nails! |
 |
| And finally... Halloween! Lilly as Elsa. |
 |
| Wendy as Tiana. |
 |
| Their "I'm ready for trick or treating" picture! |
 |
| All the princesses with their Prince Charming. |
 |
| The closest I'll ever be to being a Disney Princess. |
 |
| The neighbors were so generous and clever in finding ways to hand out candy. From tables set up in drive ways to candy chutes, the girls got so much candy it wouldn't fit in their little pumpkins! |
 |
| Running around the cul-de-sac to all the different tables. |
 |
| Picking up candy bags off the blankets. |
 |
| And visiting another creepy giant skeleton with light up eyes and sound effects! Happy Halloween! |
