Halloween Parades and Parties

This year the boys Halloween Parties and Parades were scheduled at the exact same time. I was really bummed that I wouldn’t be able to make it to both. This is Dylan’s last year at his preschool, and Thade’s last year at his Attendance Center, so I was one grumpy momma. James and I decided for one parent to go to one, and the other parent go to the other. He got to go to Dylan’s and I went to Thade’s.

The boys were ready to go. This was the first day that Thade has been anxious to go to school.

Agnes didn’t want to wear her costume, she wanted to wear her new coat.

I packed along some coffee in my new cup (Thanks Uncle Rob).

It was a chilly 32 F, and we had to park a good 5 blocks away.

Agnes was snug in her stroller though.

0351

She really loves her new coat.

The parade moved quickly and I was lucky to get one picture of Thade.

I was still a little grumpy about missing Dylan’s. He was happy though,

he brought home a ton of candy.

Happy Halloween to all!

Party #1

Get ready for a lot of Agnes pictures. We are celebrating this little gal’s birthday three times this week. We have a family party planned, but as schedules go not everyone can make it, so three parties it is. I’m sure Agnes won’t mind.

Dad was super sweet and had a bouquet of flowers delivered for Agnes. She loved them so much!

0122

He also sent me this beautiful basket filled with Autumn blooms. They smell amazingly good. I love flowers too.

Agnes wasn’t too interested in opening presents.

Two Years Old

It is hard for me to believe that Agnes really is two years old today. The last two years have passed way too quickly. It seemed like only yesterday our little girl, was our little baby.
