Halloween and the next day


What a fun "holiday" when you have kids! Halloween brings about so much excitement from the little ones. The day was filled with a lot of running around, with the highlight coming from our trip to Cub Foods where they gave out free trick-or-treating baskets. The girls chose to test them out as hats first.



After short naps, in anticipation of the big evening ahead, the girls got into their costumes and set out for the mother load. I can hear my ass and thighs getting bigger already.


We made our way around the neighborhood, visiting with all of the great people who were so excited to see the girls. Watching the girls traverse between the houses was so much fun.
We ended around 7:15 and headed off to Grandma Kim and Grandpa Don's for some yummy tacos. I think that the sugar was beginning to go directly into the veins of the girls and they were a little bonkers. After a couple of hours we called it a night and headed home with two very exhausted little babes.
Saturday morning we were directed to get out of our house by an eager Grandma Kim and Grandpa Don. They offered to come and CLEAN OUR HOUSE since we have had a lot of other things going on lately. Ahhhhh! The sound of angels singing! That is probably the best gift I could have gotten in a long time.
Jay and I packed up the girls to go out for a few hours while the transformation on the house was to begin.
Before nap time we got back home and found our house sparkling more then it was the day we moved in. Oh, what a great feeling!! Grandma Kim and Grandpa Don packed up, most likely to go home and take a nice shower after digging in our dirt for so many hours.
Spent the rest of the evening enjoying the clean house. I must go and drug myself with something to help clear my sinuses. Winter colds have taken hold of Emma and me.
