Pre-Halloween

We got a little pre-Halloween action in this week with family night at the pumpkin patch, a school carnival and a "grown-ups" Halloween party.  I actually tried to take good pictures at the pumpkin patch-to no avail. My kids don't listen to me about anything else, so I don't know why I would think that telling them to look at the camera or to smile would be any different. Hope you all are having a wonderful Autumn as well.

And........ The Halloween Party- Mostly couples from church but Tahi and Kaiza came up from OC and we had so much fun.

Pretty In Pink

M is 5! We had a Pink Princess Tea Party with 10 other 5 year old girls-all dressed in pink. So cute. I will have it known that I don't like pink. I've never been able to pull it off. I also think I just never liked being told what I was "supposed" to like, or do for that matter. So I grew up kind of anti-pink I guess you could say, and anti-all things girly in general. But my M. Oh my M. She would wear only pink every day if she could. So it was all pink for her birthday. Pink Jello, pink decor and pink mac n'cheese. The Mac, you will see, looked disgusting but the girls loved it. My sister Jenn surprised M by bringing her friend Cinderella to the party. A good time was had by all.
