Snack time! They had lots of special treats today.

Lining up to go trick-or-treating. They went to the other classrooms and then to the offices in the building.

Trick-or-treating!

We had so much fun today, it was so much fun seeing her at school with her friends. I think I had just as much fun as Kenzie did today!

Carving Pumpkins

It was a beautiful day today so we decided to carve our pumpkins outside. Here is Hannah cleaning out her pumpkin.
Kenzie cleaning hers! Notice the look of disgust on her face.

After carving pumpkins we went for a little walk and Kenzie rode her tricycle

Hopefully this nice weather will stick around for Halloween.

A visit with Max

Max has changed looks already and it's only been 2 weeks since he was born! (not sure why this picture uploaded like this!)

We went to see Max on Wednesday, Kenzie was so excited that she finally got to hold him. Although she also made it clear that she didn't want a baby at home. She told Megan that she already had one!
Hannah wasn't to sure about Max but she kept saying baby!

I think Hannah thought it was weird that the doll was moving haha!
