3 Minnie Mouses

All 3 of our girls dressed up as Minnie Mouse for Halloween...

We had a great time carving pumpkins together. Ella drew her own face on hers before carving. We had to make a few minor adjustments (she drew an ordinary smiley face).

After Juju carved her pumpkin, she asked "where are his legs?"

Learning centers

We have been setting up a few learning centers around our house. The girls love their new art table. It's fun to see them learning and playing together.

Pumpkin

Here are a few Karis highlights. Her favorite word to say: "pumpkin", her favorite song to sing "10, 000 reasons".

Hurt Man Skit

The other week while I was upstairs, the girls put together their own little skit. They set up all the pillows to make a path and then acted out The Good Samaritan. Here is their script:

E- I am the hurt man walking down the road
J- I am going to help you
E- Thank-you
J- Here's one band-aid. And... here's one more bandaid, and.. here's one more bandaid.
K- cheese, cheese (looking at video camera)
E- Thank-you

Pumpkin Patch

Last week we went on a preschool field trip to the pumpkin patch. The kids did the hay maze, went on a hay ride, picked out a pumpkin, and had hot chocolate and cookies.

Injury of the week...

Last Sunday Ella split her chin and got 5 stitches. She was riding her bike down the hill to the park, lost control, and fell over the handlebars. So, we spent our second Sunday in a row in ER.

Memories from ER: -Ella sang "God is my Shepherd when she realized it was her bedtime (this is our routine at home). She sang quite loud to the crowded waiting room and a lady across from us told her that was her favorite song.

-When the doctor asked her how fast she was going on her bike, Ella answered: "faster than a car".

-At the end of her stitching Ella received a popsicle and asked the doctor if she could have an extra one to take home to Juju. 

Juju eating her popsicle on Monday morning :) (no, they don't always get along this well)

First Supper

Last weekend we moved! Here we are eating our first dinner at our new home (and on our new dining room table!) We moved just down the hill from our townhouse. The house is a perfect space for us. Ella and Juju still share a room and Karis has her own room. The first night she cried for "Ella, Juju", but she has adjusted well :) The big girls run into Karis' room as soon as they are all awake and say "Karis, we're here, were you lonely?" So cute!
