Slumber Party - Sisters Only!

All last week Brynn was wanting to make little beds on the floor for her and her sister so they could watch a show together before bed. They thought it was the greatest thing! This was the night before our trip to Sedona.

BOO!

The girls have been busy making crafts for Halloween. We made ghosts on this particular day. They really enjoyed it although I think Brooklyn preferred trying to eat hers instead of actually gluing the cotton balls down!

Having a fit because her hands are full of glue and cotton! - she did it to herself! Crazy girl...

She regrouped and now she's hard at work

Wait - just one more taste!

This one is perfect... Brynn just always laughs at her sister because she does the goofiest things - like trying to eat pom poms now!

In the end - we got two very cute ghosts out of it! 

Our Daughter Is Now "Fetching" Things...

Should we be concerned?! I guess as long as she doesn't growl at us, we're ok!

Happy October!

Happy October! Love, Brynn

Here's hoping October brings better weather, better days and lots of pumpkins and FUN!

Fall Is In The Air...

The temperatures are starting to get cooler out here (like 95 degrees or so! Haha) - but the early mornings and nights do feel much better (in the high 70's). Brynn is SO excited about Halloween. Every day we get asked, "is it Halloween night?!" She can't wait! As soon as she saw pumpkins in the store, we had to get them. So - let the Halloween decorating begin!

Painting our pumpkins. We'll tackle the carved ones after we visit the pumpkin patches!

What was I thinking letting Brooklyn go at it?! She was very interested in the paint and every time I looked away, I'd catch her licking her pumpkin. What is her deal?!

Brynn painted hers all blue - of course. At least she did the other half white!

She was having a blast until...

I took her pumpkin away! She started using her hands to wipe off all the paint and then she proceeded to paint herself! I cut her off at that point!

Our finished pumpkins - pretty cute!

Today we went to Home Depot to buy some mums and make our house look festive. Grammy had sent Brynn a watering can she found in the shed and ever since then she's been wanting to water flowers. Here they are using shovels to loosen up the dirt.

This picture just makes me laugh because Brooklyn was all about the dirt. Brynn, on the other hand, did not want to get a speck of dirt on her or her hands and we all know that was impossible with Brooklyn standing right next to her. As they got into it, Brooklyn was not able to keep the dirt in the pot and some was landing on Brynn and getting on her dress. She was very concerned. I guess I'll have to get her a pair of gardening gloves soon! It's so funny how different they are!

They both loved the watering part!

Here's the girl in charge of the dirt!

I love Brynn's face here. She's like, "what are you doing?!"

as Brooklyn pours the dirt on top of the flowers!

Nothing that a little (or a lot) of water couldn't fix! The girls had fun and that's all that matters. - and our house looks nicer too!

I Have A Helper... & a GOOD One!

Brynn loves to help with folding the laundry and she's actually really good at it! Not sure where she got her skills from but she uses the "rolling" technique which I know many people use when traveling to keep the wrinkles away. Maybe she remembers from when Auntie Allison was here last time!
