Weekend in Review

I'm going to start with Thursday even though that's not technically the weekend.

My mom, the younger three girls and I went to Peach's and Brownie's performance at a local theater (Matt was at a conference or you know he would've been there). They've been working for eight weeks on performing in a play about pumpkins, bats, witches, vampires, etc...

We got to see how they warm up and what games they play before they rehearse. There was even audience participation. And then the show began!

We enjoyed watching them work so hard to remember their lines and then perform in the play. The girls posed with their teachers after the play was over. Then we went out for frozen yogurt/sorrbet. Yum!

On Friday Auntie come to town. The older four girls went with my mom to pick her up while Matt and I bought some furniture for the girls' rooms. There is a store that reopened under new owners and they had too good of a deal on dressers (that were absolutely perfect for what we needed), a bunk set, mattresses and a new over-sized chair for our den. When we have 2 girls in each room (minus the nursery) we have to make as much room as possible. So bunks and skinny dressers it is! When Auntie got to town we all went to Chili's and the older two girls went to a Halloween party.

On Saturday we went to our cousin's 3rd birthday party. The girls were in the midst of having fun when Matt and I had to leave for my friend's wedding. She was getting married a couple hours away from our house, and it was very nice to have a quiet two hours to talk (or just enjoy the quiet)! It really was a beautiful ceremony and the bride looked just as gorgeous as always. I've known Erin almost 10 years--we met in college when we were in education classes studying to be English teachers. When we were grad students in our 5th year and student-teaching we actually got to be roomies. She and our other roomate at the time threw me my first baby shower the night before I moved out of that house and into Matt's. Wish you and Mitch all the best, Erin!!!

I meant to get a picture of the two of us all dressed up before the wedding, but I didn't get that done. There's practically no pictures of just the two of us, especially when we're dressed up. So even though we look tired and my hair and make up look worn, we had to get a picture. 

Sunday was rather calm around here.I got to have breakfast with my sister (it lasted about 4 hours)  and then it was time for the trunk or treat. But with all the excitement from the weekend we had some tired babies. So instead of all of us going to the trunk or treat, the older three girls and Matt went without the other three of us. The little girls slept instead and I got a couple projects accomplished. Matt also took them to their Nutcracker rehearsal and got home just in time to eat pizza and spend more time with Auntie.

And of course you've already seen how our Halloween went. Auntie left Tuesday and is back home now! We miss her bunches, and we are excited for Christmas when we'll get to see her again.
