Happy Halloween!!

Today was a beautiful fall day. Perfect for raking leaves and then jumping in the leaves! Here are some pictures of our Halloween fun (notice the cute pumpkin pizza JP made)! Isabelle chose to appear as Snow White this evening and had a great time trick-or-treating on her own. At each house she would tell us that she was going to do "this one by myself".

Pumpkin Decorating and Fall Fun

We've had a lot of fun family time in the last several weeks. We stuffed a scarecrow, played in the Apple Fun Corral at our local Eckert's Family Farm, and picked the pumpkins that Isabelle grew in her own garden! Then we used Mr. Potato Head pumpkin kits to decorate the pumpkins. I have to say that I LOVE the kits, they're so much easier (and less messy) than carving the traditional way.

Isabelle's First Field Trip

Isabelle took her first field trip on Friday. Her preschool class went to Eckert's Orchard to learn about and pick apples. I went along as a chaperone. It was intresting being on the other side of a field trip for once.

Sheila's Release Par-tay!

My little sister Darcy has been best friends with Sheila Shahpari since they were in 7th grade. Tonight was her first CD release party. Absolutely fabulous! Here are some pictures. Check her out at sheilashahpari.com.

Fruits of our labor

Isabelle planted pumpkin seeds and they have produced several pumpkins! The moles/rabbits/what-evers have eaten three of them but two have survived and are growing!

Mary Poppins!

We took Isabelle to her first live theater production last night. We saw Mary Poppins. It was amazing! The dancing was great and watching Isabelle was even better! She kept saying, in her Minnie Mouse voice, "How'd she DO that?!?"
Enjoy the pictures!

First Day of School!

Isabelle started preschool today! She did so well and had nothing but good things to say when I picked her up (I took the day off work). Here are some pictures of her first day.






After we dropped her off this morning JP and I went for coffee and felt quite adult!
