Art Exhibit

We had an art exhibit and sale on Sunday to help the children going to Disney raise money for their trip.  They will need fun hats, candy, ice cream, cookies, mickey accessories and Jasmine clothing while they are in Disney.  Who better to donate to these needy girls than their Nana and Grandma!

 Kaitlyn loved the snow!  This might be her year to ski!

We built a pumpkin snowman!

Trick or Treat at the High School

We went to Trick or Treat night at the High School.  The girls enjoyed walking from classroom to classroom with the different clubs and sports teams handing out candy. 

The girls got to meet up with some friends while we watched the costume contest!

Pumpkin Time - Cut it out!!

 Kaitlyn was especially excited to cut into the big pumpkin. 

 Just love this toothless smile!

 Kaitlyn wanted an angry pumpkin. 

Happy Halloween!

Tea Party for Ryan and Kaitlyn

 Ryan always enjoys his time with bitty baby and the American Girls when he comes to visit.  He's a little mommy when he's at our house.  This weekend, the boys came to visit while Kirstin and Paul went to the PSU game.  Ryan and Kaitlyn took care of the babies all afternoon.  They carried them up and down the steps to put them to bed and then take them to a tea party. The got along very well. 

 The older crew had some arguments about cheating on games of Crazy 8s and UNO.  They are getting to be quite sneaky in their kindergarten and 1st grade years!

Llama Llama Red Pajama and the Nittany Lion!

 Kaitlyn and I went to the library for Llama Llama Red Pajama reading night.  It was an event to have someone reading the same book at the same time across America.  Kaitlyn loves this story, so we went to check it out!  She got to wear her pajamas to the library!

 The Nittany Lion was there with some friends passing out creamery ice cream!

One of our local Newscasters read the book to the group.  Kaitlyn raised her hand to answer a question and won a book to take home!

Rock and Roll Reading Night!

Kaitlyn got to come along for Kelsey's school reading night and join in the dress up fun.  The theme was rock and roll reading.  Kaitlyn dressed up as Hannah Montana!

Kelsey wanted to be Katy Perry.   I refused to spray her hair pink but I think she looks rocking in this outfit...kind of Katy Perry-ish.

Kelsey with Mrs. Shaw!  Check out that great smile! 

Bavarian Octoberfest Excitement!

 Kaitlyn was so excited to win a prize!  Pure Joy at winning a ziploc bag of sponges!  We also won some sauerkraut, and some oatmeal.

Kelsey was too busy texting to notice the excitement.  I think she was writing to Aunt Michelle.

Seven Springs in the Fall Freezing Rain!

 Face Painting, Air Hockey, Ski Ball...these are all still fun in freezing rain!  We went to Seven Springs for an Autumn Fest Weekend Getaway and got caught in freezing rain all weekend!  We still enjoyed good food, fun times indoors and some football!

 Seriously, it's freezing out here!

This is as close as we got to the petting zoo!
