Trick or Treat

Jake and I took the girls for some good old trick or treating tonight and they had so much fun. I loved watching them run door to door laughing. Talia did such great job keeping up but them pooped out after a while and sat in the wagon enjoying the candy she got.

Talia needed to take a picture of us :)

My three beautiful butterflies.

Pumpkin carving

Daddy was able to carve pumpkins with the girls thank goodness. Jake has been working so much that I thought he might miss this. Jessica and Kaelyn were so excited and Talia was making faces for Jake depicting what she wanted her pumpkin to look like...Of course Talia wanted a "Sca-wee face". The girls are getting so big and I cherish every moment that they give me.

Trunk or Treat

Today was CC2's Trunk or Treat and Halloween party, so the girls and I went to have some Halloween fun. Jake had to work late so I recruited my one and only "man-ny" Joe to come and help me with the girls. I can ALWAYS count on him to help me with the girls and they definatly enjoy him around. He was able to stay and help me chase the girls around and help them with the games and trunk or treating. I haven't been doing well with the pregnancy and my stress levels are high and the doctor tried to put me on bed rest...hahaha if you know me that was NOT an option.

The girls got sooooo much candy.Talia was just the most happiest butterfly in the world, she went from car to car and had the biggest smile on her face. Kaelyn kept booking it from car to car and when I would call her back so she could wait for her sisters she would go back to the cars she had already went to to come back to us, very smart little girl. And little Miss Jessica was a big help with Talia holding her had and making sure her sister got candy too.Talia kinda got a little bit of makeup on Joe's nose :)

My 3 butterfly girls. Love that they are holding hands :)

They were told not to get up off the bedroom floor while I was doing Jessica's makeup...I knew if I let them roam the house that they makeup would be everywhere.

My crazy mom

Every year for Halloween my mom and her co-workers dress up and they are so funny. This year they are Gothic chics. The kids at her school think it's the greatest thing ever. She said that one kid was like I wish my mom dressed up. When my mom walked out of the office I just started to laugh at her. She is crazy with what she does and every year is great. Her friend Lisa has a spunky attitude and was wearing a short mini skirt with fish net stockings and all of them had their lip pierced and multipule earrings....The girls loved it and were excited to see my mom dressed up.

A&P class

Another semester but different class! This semester I am taking A&P and it has been fun so far. I have learned so much over the last few months and my brain hurts. We are studying the muscles of the cat right now and yes it is stinky in the class room but thank goodness I'm almost done. Thank goodness for my parents watching the kids because without them I would not be able to do this.
I'm 31 weeks in this picture and I hate to admit the spot on my shirt is cat juice...yes ewwwww I scrubbed it with soap after I saw that hahaha This normally doesn't happen but due to the big belly I bump into everything...yuck!

Thunder

Today while the kids and I were sitting in the parking lot waiting for school to start it started to rain and then we would hear the loud thunder. The kids eyes got big and Talia kept saying "Scawee mommie" and that comment caused a chain of "I'm scared" coming from the girls mouths. A story my mom came to mind of when I was a little kid and living in Chicago we would hear the thunder all the time. My mom use to tell us that my babcia was in heaven bowling and that every time you would hear the loud crash of the thunder it was her getting a strike. It helped us get over the fear and I don't think I ever was scared of thunder after that story. My mom use to sit us on the outside step of our back door and we would listen for the thunder and cheer because our grandmother was winning :)

After I told the girls the story they seemed more excited to hear the noise and I even got Talia to cheer.

Prayer before bedtime

Jake is so good with getting the girls together to do prayer at bedtime. Tonight Talia was the one who said prayer and I just love listening to her cute little voice. She still calls Heavenly Father "Harry Potter" when she prays and it always puts a smile on my face. Since I really have a hard time with kneeling or sitting for that matter I stood by the door to listen to prayer and I had to take this picture.
