Elyse & Felicity and the Great Pumpkin

The night before Halloween we carved our very first pumpkins! Grandma and Daddy did the carving, but we had so much fun digging out the guts and playing with all of the pumpkin's gooey insides!

Mommy even had enough energy to help a little:Felicity: Grandma, this is so cool! We should carve pumpkins every day!

Elyse: I figure that pumpkin muffins are very yummy so the pumpkin itself should be good too. Right? I'll just take a little taste to find out...hmmm...I think I'll stick to the muffins!

Felicity: I'm telling you the truth Grandma. I just saw Elyse take a bite of the gooey guts. Can you believe she did that? Disgusting!

Our finished pumpkins light up our front steps with a sparkly glow and are all ready for Halloween. We are excited to do it again next year!

Happy Halloween!

Boo at the Zoo

Hello! We apologize for the blogging absence while our mommy has been recovering from surgery. She's doing well, resting (although Daddy says she is BAD at resting!), and we've had so much fun hanging out with our Grandmas.Last weekend we went to BOO at the ZOO at the National Zoo. We had fun collecting goodies, seeing the animals, and flitting around as Monarch butterflies:

Elyse: I was sad to hear that Mommy had to stay home in bed. It was a big BOO-HOO for me before we left:

But then I got to put on my new fancy shoes and all was right with the world:

We sure are lucky that we had our Grandma to take care of us. We didn't miss a minute of fun!

A Big Day!

Today our Mommy is having surgery to hopefully fix the headaches she's had for 11 years! Please pray that all goes well and that she returns to us safe and sound (with a speedy recovery!). When she's better, we'll continue blogging about our silly adventures and giggles...until then, you can know we're having lots of fun with our Grandma!

Fabulous Fall Festival

Last weekend Grandpa was in town for a quick visit and we had a great adventure going to the one of the best Fall festivals in all of the DC metro area.Here we are trying out our new wagon for the first time. It was the perfect set of wheels for the farm:

Wow, look over there! It's the Farmer of Cox Farms! Wait a minute...that's just Grandpa!

We got to eat yummy apples. This was the first time we ate our apples without having them cut up. We are getting so big!

Mmmmm!! An apple in one hand and a sippy cup full of apple cider in the other! You just can't go wrong!

Elyse: This fall festival stuff is just too much to handle. The fun is EVERYWHERE! Let's just take a little breather before the fun quotient just blows my mind!

Grandpa, you are one silly guy! Just keep those laughs coming!

At one point, we lost Grandpa. But then we found him. Lucky for us!

Fancy finding our Wizard of Oz friends here! Everyone together now: "We're off to see the Wizard, the Wonderful Wizard of Oz!"

There were GIGANTIC slides all over the farm and we went down almost all of them with Grandpa and Mommy. Weeeee!

We chased Grandpa through a long corn maze...but made it out alive!

We enjoyed a long, silly, and entertaining hayride:

We ate a special junk food lunch of hot dogs and french fries (we like hot dogs, much to our Mom's horror and dismay!):

And we danced the afternoon away to good ol' West Virginian Mountain music. What a great way to ring in the fall!

Dizzy with Daddy

Here we are, just hanging out, bored before Daddy gets home from work:When he comes home, we get ready for bed... and let the silliness begin!

Silly girlies everywhere! Watch out people, here comes the maniac red-head!

We are always so happy when Daddy gets home from a LONG day at work to play with us!!
