Pictures..... Pictures... & More Pictures

I have just lots of pictures to share today :) 

The Sunday before Halloween, the little girls wore their Jelly the Pug Halloween dresses to church and had to take their picture with John Wesley afterwards! Except, this week, they didn't cooperate very well! Ha! 

We absolutely love the Jelly the Pug brand! It reminds me of Matilda Jane, but the price tag is a bit friendlier when dressing three girls! And, we find it on Zulily a ton! Check out this dress for Christmas! 

After church, the girls played dress up, and Elsa took a nap. 

And then we headed to football for our Sunday night family dinner. 

On Mondays we have speech therapy, and I try my best to keep the girls entertained. Honestly, they're ready to play, and they're all over the place, but it's also a waiting room, and we need to do our best to stay still and quite. So, the iPad often comes to the rescue. 

I made DJ's video student's Monster cookies for Halloween. You can find the recipe on Momfessionals blog. 

The girls celebrated their 50th day of school with a sock hop last Thursday. Poodle skirts, root beer floats, and dancing for the win! 

After school on Thursday, we went to the gym, and then I took the girls to have ice cream for dinner. It was warm, they had cleaned the house and were so helpful on Sunday, and DJ was at football meetings. So, ice cream for dinner was the perfect treat! I had a protein shake from the gym :) 

Friday was Bedlam day at school. In Oklahoma, Bedlam is when OU and OSU play each other. It's a huge rivalry game. Our teachers lounge was decorated, we had a potluck, and TU had a game Friday night. So, we did what any football family would do. We dressed in Blue and supported our own team! 

Reign Cane! 

After school, we ran a quick errand, came home to put on some layers, and headed to football! Addy was happy to see her big cousin Max!

And look who we spotted on the field! 

Just, DJ doing his job :) 

And Saturday, we slept late, the girls played, I ran some errands sans kiddos, and then I came home to watch football with DJ. Addy Pearl crawled up and fell asleep! Nap time snuggles are the best! 

Trick or Treat!

So, Halloween feels like it was forever ago. Yes. Already. But, we had fun, and I wanted to make sure I got our pictures up on the blog. 

Last Monday, Megan was complaining because our pumpkin carving attempt a few weeks ago had failed. We had bought our pumpkins, set them outside, and then a huge rainstorm came through and two of our pumpkins rotted. So, we were only to carve one pumpkin. And in Megan's little mind, she didn't get to carve her pumpkin, and she begged, and begged, and begged. But we were so busy. Finally on Monday, I knew that even though our calendar was swamped, we needed to come through and pick up two more pumpkins so Megan and Gretchen could carve theirs. I went to stores, and came up empty handed, but DJ skipped his Monday night radio show and came to the rescue with two new pumpkins! 

So after dinner, they set to work carving pumpkins. 

And all was happy in our home again :) 

Of course by this time, Addy's little pumpkin had wilted, so it was looking less than steller compared to our two new pumpkins! 

We always let the girls draw the faces, and then DJ cuts them out. 

On Halloween night, I picked up a jack-o-lantern pizza from Papa Murphys and invited our neighbors over for dinner! 

We curled Gretchen's hair for her costume, and then after dinner we were off. 

Skye and Captain America were ready for trick-or-treating! 

I love that we're at the age, where our kiddos can go and run, but that we're still close by :) 

Megan went as Mal. 

And, our little Skye :) She loved her costume so much and told us we needed to just call her Skye from now on! 

And Belle. 

Unfortunately it was cold on Halloween night, so we had to break out layers and coats. 

Happy Halloween from our girls!
