Ummm...Hello November!

I'm sure that October passed by in the blink of an eye. Let's review shall we?

Sickness was a dominant theme in our household. Hubby was the weak link that brought in it and it systematically took down Pookie, Bear and then myself. All of us, except for Pookie still have some form of sickness.

Surprise trip to Disneyland over Bear's birthday was a definite highlight of October and possibly our life as a little family. We did the whole princess dinner, 5 days at the park and a trip to the San Diego zoo. It was our first ever 'just us' family vacation and it was amazing. The girls were troopers, patiently waiting 1 1/2 hours to see the princesses...I could go on, but the girls tell the stories so much better. Suffice it to say, they were the perfect age for the magic of Disney. To see their excitement at meeting all the princesses and the wonder of It's a small World...I'm so thankful we did it.

The classic Disney picture!


We had Bear's 4th birthday when we got back and a visit from Hubby's Mom...it was great to spend a week together!

My baby girl..who is not so much a baby anymore!


Halloween was right after my M-I-L left. We dressed up as a farmer family for our church event, Hubby was a scarecrow, I was a farm girl, Pookie a cowgirl and Bear a donkey (her choice and so cute!)

Crazy family!


Phew...that was October....that was exhausting!

Ohhh yey! Glad to hear your trip to disneyland was great! Your girls do seem the perfect age for it! Were hopping to take the choir to Disney Land after Christmas as we are right around that location!! Cute family pic too of your costume. I must say the scarecrow is a big change from last year's costume! hahaha

Cakes - It took 2 years of saving and another 6 months from now to pay it off...but it was so worth it!

Mel- It would be great if the African Children's Choir could go! It was amazing!
