Happy Birthday, baby girl!

On her birthday, she:   
ate cake,
(mostly frosting),
got messy,
enjoyed her decorations,
 opened presents,
hugged her new doll,
played with a set of spoons forever, 
tried to keep her new toys away from her brothers,
 and went to bed a 1 year old girl! 

Happy Birthday Hailey, it's been an amazing year and I hope you had a special day!!!

Halloween 2012

Halloween in Des Moines is always busy! There is lots to do around this holiday. 
First I got to help out in Ethan's class for his "fall party"- lets call it what it is people, when you let the kids wear their costumes and make spider treats and witch crafts, I think you can safely call it a Halloween party. But anyway.

His class, all dressed up! (Ethan's trying to make a hook with his hand :)
Me and my big kindergartener!
Ethan winning the candy corn game I was in charge of.
Chase's preschool had a trick-or-treat party as well.
Hailey as a zebra! I got a really cute one of all 3 and Chase deleted it off my phone : (
Ethan was a pirate and Chase was Bumblebee the Transformer...at his school one he wanted to wear his Spiderman costume instead.
And of course we carved pumpkins! Ethan helped me do the guy with the glasses, and Chase helped Eric do the scary one. 
Trick-or-treating on Beggar's Night! Here in Des Moines the kids go out the night before Halloween and it's called Beggar's Night. Gotta love Iowa!
