Field trips and Pre-Halloween Celebration!

We have been kind of cooped up in this house for the last few weeks. Richard had finals for the last week and a half and we have just been hanging on! BUT, Richard did awesome and got mostly As and a couple of Bs in his classes (this is the hardest trimester, many people say). WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU RICHARD!!! YOU ROCK!

~Things we have been doing- our "regular stuff" with a few "out of the ordinaries"...


Sarah dancing!!!

Rachel took her first fieldtrip in Kindergarten and we went to an local park and walked through their Conservatory and learned all about plants and trees and stuff. I was able to go with her and it was a blast!!!

Leaf rubbings

Mom and Rachel surrounded by tropical plants
(that isn't a flower in my hair, it is on the bush behind us!)

Rachel doing "Leaves, branches, trunk, and roots"
(head, shoulders, knees, and toes)

Beautiful pinecone to take home!

We started looking costumes and this is what the girls decided on.
Sarah the zebra, rachel the good witch and Emma the Butterfly Princess Fairy thingy!


We went down to Richard's school for their trick or treating.

I love my girls!
