Autumn fun

The leaves are all falling from the trees, and the kids are having a great time playing with the fallen leaves that, in some cases, completely cover the sidewalks.

Here are Marin and Annelie in the neighborhood, having fun sweeping and swishing through the leaves.

Birthday

The twins are 3 today! Last weekend we had their friends Rosie and Shirley over, along with their family. We had a good meal that Greta cooked, a nice cake, and they played with some toys, and overall had a great time.

Today they had a great day, starting with opening some presents in the morning, then moving on to pre-school where they celebrated their birthday with cupcakes. They've been very excited about their birthday, and probably for the first time ever know how old they are!

Twins go trick-or-treating

This Halloween the twins got to go trick-or-treating with their friends from the neighborhood. The twins both dressed as bunnies. Annelie and Marin had a great time on their first Halloween outing, and wound up with a small mountain of candy.

For some reason, I don't find any of these costumes particularly scary.

Happy Halloween

Halloween was quite busy this year. We started off on Sunday night with a party at our house with Jordan's playgroup (still together after 5 years!). Then it was off to Allison's party on Halloween morning and Jordan's in the afternoon. Even though it poured down rain all day, the kids still managed to go out trick-or-treating to at least a few houses with our friends the Giancola's and the Boime's in the evening. Here are our little red Power Ranger and Dorothy in their outfits. (click to see more).

The kids had so much fun at our playgroup Halloween party. They took to our new stage with some instruments and had an impromtu Halloween concert. It was a riot. Allison refused to wear her Dorothy costume and instead created her own. Oy!

Here is Allison and her teachers. Ironically enough, one of her teachers is named Judy Garland!

Here are some more from her party at Lucky Lane.

Jordan's party was really fun. The principal dressed up like Shrek and came in for a visit.

Here's some random ones of the the kids in their costumes before heading out to trick-or-treat.
