Sadie at 13 weeks!

Ren Fest 2010

The Ren Fest is quite the family tradition (Chris's family introduced it to me 12 years ago before we were even dating).  I must say it's even more fun with kids!

Showing off her head sized pretzel!

Amy and I got henna art done on our hands :-) **Note to self-you wash your hands a lot so the design doesn't last long (1 week rather than 4!)  Henna elsewhere next time!**

Love it.

Amy, Chris, Nancy-they look so much alike!

The huge canopy of trees is one of my favorite things about the Ren Fest!

Ella and Hannah REALLY wanted face paint this year

I was SHOCKED Ella wanted to rock climb-she did great!!!

She made it to the top!!

Trick or Treating 2010

Cousins!

Sadie got in on the action but was not a fan of her costume :-(

My little mermaid

See?  Sadie did not want to be a pumpkin.

Ou

We went trick or treating with our small group from church and Chris and Dave held the sleeping babies.  Now I know why they make huge bulky baby costumes-the kids were warm and fell asleep right away!

Our friend works for a lighting company and their house was decked out with black lights, fog machines and more!

Fall Farm Field Trip!

Sadie and I went on Ella's annual fieldtrip to a local Petting Zoo / Farm.  It was a beautiful fall day and we had a great time.  Not sure how Sadie and I would do any of these outings with out the Baby Bjorn carrier.  I'd do a commercial for that thing!

Ella's BFF Sophie

Can you say DRAMA?!!

Preschool Halloween

I got to volunteer for Ella's Halloween Party at school!  Good times!

Circle Time

I got to man a table that all the kids rotated through.  They made haunted houses with stickers and played a counting game where they won creepy spider rings!

Ella's goody bag!  There was a ton of loot!

My contribution to the goody bags-my first attempt at Cookie Pops-they turned out well!

Ella the mermaid and her BFF Sophie, Princess Tiana

18 kids having snack!  Chaos!!
