I've been meaning to share a few fall photos of the family with you all. Here are some we took a few weeks ago at the pumpkin patch. My youngest, who is 5 -- I think she's determined to be a model, she always poses so sweetly for me!
And my oldest who turns 8 this weekend:
And yes we were all in short sleeves after spending the day at the State Fair -- it got up to 90 that day and then promptly dropped into the 50's the next day! That's Fall in Texas -- the trees are so shocked by the sudden change in temperature that they don't get the chance to change, the leaves just fall off in shock, LOL! (just kidding).
Here's my favorite photo of the girls on a ride at the fair:
Love that action shot!
Here's the jack-o-lantern we carved this week:
Hubby did a great job, don't you think? The girls told him what they wanted and he went after it! Of course, the pumpkin had to get "bunny ears"!
And finally, my trick-or-treaters last night:
Princess Jasmin and Double Trouble -- half devil and half angel, LOL! It was a good thing it was back in the 80's yesterday, so they didn't get too cold last night. And yes, those huge bags were filled by the time we got home last night!
Hope you all had a safe & happy Halloween! Hopefully, I'll be back tomorrow with Beate's weekend sketch challenge, if I can break away from unpacking (yes, still!) before the 8th birthday party this weekend. We'll have about 20 kids here at the house -- am I crazy?!! So if you don't hear from me again for a few days, that's why!
OH how adorable are they! So cute!

Your girls are the greatest! I have never heard of Double Trouble...too cute!
Good luck at that birthday party, oh brave one :)

Oh my gosh, adorable costumes!
It took me a minute to realize that was an "actual" Halloween photo; living in Minnesota I tend to associate it with a LOT more clothing!
Growing up; it was always "hmmm what can we add to this coat to make it look like a costume?"
And then of course the Halloween Blizzard of 1991...craziness.
This year, it was so windy here that I fully expected the ghosts and witches to "fly" down the street, poor kids!
