Halloween

This was the best Halloween yet, the girls had so much fun.

We started the day decorating bird houses for Habitat for Humanity. Then we made candy necklaces. We went to a Halloween party at the girls school put on by the Cub Scouts then went trick or treating.

 

 Fire Dog (Devan) And Tooth Fairy (Ryleigh) 

Devan won first place in the costume party at the school! Go Devy Doo

Nothing like a summer treat.

The girls thought I was crazy when they asked for a bite of sherbet and I gave them the whole container.

They only had a little bit but really enjoyed eating it this way. 

Pre K

The girls are starting Pre K on Monday! I am excited for them but a little sad at the same time. They will be riding the bus from my sister in laws house to the "big school" The pre k program is in the elementary school! They will be riding the same bus as all the other kids. I told them not to worry I would come to school and make sure they found their classroom. I promised them I would be waiting for them when the bus got to school and my little Ryleigh said "Mom you don't have to come to the school, I can find our classroom." :( I was so sad but happy at the same time that she felt like a big enough girl to do it on her own. Luckily Devan is more then happy to have me there or else I would really have a hard time.

To the fair we go

We go yearly to the Windsor fair with the girls. And like a lot of things it gets more fun every year. 

This year one of their favorite things was the horse pulls. They loved seeing the horses. 

They went on a couple rides and played a few games and of course came home with a new stuffed animal... a dog. Ryleigh named her Benji and Devan named hers Cody. 

So excited to go play 

Ryleigh wanted her picture taken in front of the ponies.

On the bears with Daddy.

They rode this one all by themselves! Uncle bud and I were terrified of this same ride when we were kids. lol 

The girls feeding the goats.

An awesome day

Ryleigh and Devan were invited to celebrate their friends Kaylee and Aleah's birthday. We had an awesome time. Kaylee and Aleah are twins that were in Devans class last year. They are moving on to kindergarten this year and the girls are going to miss them. The party was on an island, we took a lobster boat out. On the island were private beaches wild horses and tons of fun. It was the girls first boat ride and they loved it. If I were 4 again this would have been a day I dreamed about. Happy Birthday Kaylee and Aleah and thanks to your mom and aunt Pam for the awesome party.

Obsessed would be an understatement

The girls are head over heals for Toy Story, this started about a year and a half ago. Everything they own is Toy story and were thrilled when they found out Toy Story 3 was coming out. 

Last year they were Woody and Jessie from Toy Story for halloween. 

You rarely ever see the girls with out a Toy Story Character in hand. 

Devan told me the other day "you know mom if you could buy me a slinky dog I could stop making sparky be slinky". 

Their x mas list... all Toy Story and nothing else. There are days I put the make believe to an end and make them be Ryleigh and Devan. Living with a space ranger and cowboy is too much at times. However it is nothing like Jessie... this was fine until Ryleigh found out just how Jessie really acts. It has been down hill from there. 

The funny thing is, I still remember when the first Toy Story came out. I was 10 or 11 and loved it. I was not nearly obsessed as my girls but I thought it was cute.

I have been wanting to get a pic of the girls with ALL their Toy Story toys but until then here are a few pics. 

At the movies, there was a huge Hamm in the theater.

The insisted that Jessie and Rex needed to be in their picture with the bride, at my cousin Adams wedding. 

Annie and the girls. 

All packed and ready to go to aunt Karen for the day while Mommy is at work. Rex's head is sticking out because her bag is stuffed full of other characters. 

Devan has been begging me to get her awful Toy Story cowboy boots at Walmart. She wants them because they say Andy's on the bottom. I say no way Daddy says why not... we will see what happens there.
