Here are some old pics that didn't quite make it up before Halloween. Some of them are from when we received the pink monster costumes from Grandma Edna. We had alot of fun trying them on. Sarah liked to snuggle up to mommy even more with the soft pink fur dress.

Kristin had both the girls for a mommy-daughter weekend several weeks back. Andy had to go to Laramie for "business" but he brought an old friend from Washington (Sam)and one from Cincinnati (Carl)back with him. It was good to see them both again and catch up over a few bottles of wine. There are some shots of the girls at The Butterfly Pavilion- one of Ellie's favorite places.

More soon on Grandpa's visit last week and funny things girls do.

Pink Monsters for Halloween....

Ellie really enjoyed Halloween this year. She's always been fond of the pumpkins and jack-O-lanterns but previously has been pretty timid around scary costumes and decorations. This year was different, though. Almost every day she would tell us that she wanted to be something different for Halloween- purple monster, witch, scary skeleton, pirate, dog, frog, Mickey Mouse. We finally settled on the pink monsters from her favorite "Mahna Mahna" Muppets skit -see Sept. 17th post below. Grandma Edna did a stellar job making costumes for Ellie, Sarah, and Mom that looked just like the Muppet Monsters. Thanks Grandma E! Ellie got the hang of 'trick-or-treating' after the first house....as soon as she realized that candy was the tasty reward for knocking on the doors. She can't wait for next year.
