If you ask Sophie what she wants to be when she grows up, she says "a bunny!". So it is not surprising that a bunny is what she wanted to be for Halloween. And for the most part she left the ears on while trick or treating. I had every intention of making Meg into a carrot, but believe it or not, I struggled making the costume. Instead, she was (appropriately) a monkey. She loved the costume, twirling around the tail. She was the only monkey with whiskers, making her look a little like a mouse, but if Sophie has whiskers, than Meg has to have whiskers! We had a nice time though, with originally both of us taking the girls out with our neighbors across the street who have kids the same age (after I finished a delivery just in the nick of time!), and then Greg and my dad took them for one more round. They've eaten nothing but candy all day!!!
The house is almost completely done - finally! Just two lights left to hang over the kitchen island, and a little repair work on our shower, and it will be official. Hard to believe it is finally over, but is was so worth it. Everything turned out perfect, and I absolutely love the kitchen. So functional, and places for the kids to do things while I am cooking. I'll post pictures in an upcoming blog when the kitchen lights are finished.
Greg went home last weekend for his 20 year high school reunion, leaving me and the girls behind. Greg went to an all guy high school, so believe it or not, the planned functions were not really female friendly (i.e. an all day excursion to a horse track) so we stayed in St. Louis. Plus, it was Audrey's 3rd birthday party, and the girls really wanted to go. The party started at the Magic House, with all of the kids from Audrey's preschool, and ended back at my sister's. It was a lot of fun, if not a little crazy, with 20 3 year olds. Hopefully we will get home to Kentucky for the holidays without a trip to the horse track!
