Halloween 2009! This year, Stella joined us in our trip to the mall because her Momma and Papa are in the hospital enjoying the birth of Stella's new baby brother, Elliot!

Jasmine, Kitty Cat, and Kangaroo (take 2).

The girls all loaded up on tasty candy!
Yummy!
Where did it go, Anna?The End...by the way, if this picture looks familiar, check out the Halloween post from 2 years ago...

We went to Crawford Farms pumpkin patch today with the Tiesman's. The girls had an awesome time: corn maze, petting zoo, stacks of hay, scary tunnel, and picking pumpkins! Then, we all came back to our house and carved our masterpieces!

From left to right: Danna's and Ella's, Zac's, Stella's, Chuck's and Anna's.

Chuck playing with the camera...I forgot my camera for the actual farm part, so I hope Bethany emails me the rest of the pictures soon so I can add them here. ;)

Ella driving Anna around in Nana and Papaw's front yard. She is really moving!

Ella and Anna had a great visit with Nana and Papaw this weekend!

They found a wooly worm.
And followed it around.
Anna wanted to pet it.
And then they followed it some more.
Then, to continue their fascination with bugs, they found a ladybug.
Anna said, "Where! Let me see!"
"Oh, there it is."
Nana drew pretty flowers all over the driveway.
Then, of course, they drove their jeep around the yard.

Finally, Ella helped Nana cook dinner; something she LOVES to do.

Ella twisting Anna up in the swing and then letting go! It looks like a nauseating move to me, but Anna seems to enjoy it.

I just had to document Ella singing in the car. Almost every time we get in, she demands, "I want Daddy's song!" She means "Troublemaker" by Weezer, and I'm not exactly sure why it is "Daddy's song," but we play it and she sings right along, or at least mouths the best she can. She also knows many of the other songs, and does quite well with the high parts in "Greatest Man That Ever Lived," which is good because that means we don't have to suffer through me singing those parts. Anyway, she was only captured on video because I was covert and pretended not to be filming. She refuses to sing or even pretend to sing if she thinks anyone is really paying attention. Enjoy!
