Fall Fun!

Saw these in one of those parenting magazines . . . they were fun to make and eat!

Carving pumpkins!


Bella wanted to imitate a picture she saw of a little girl surrounded by all her stuffed animals.

The older girls were on a Harry Potter kick for a while. Ruby was Harry and Lulu was Hermione.

Reading Baby Mouse and The Magic Eye Harry Potter Book. The older girls have to accumulate a certain amount of AR points for school. Ruby has been taking AR tests as she finished each Harry Potter book and has over 100 points. Lulu's teacher promised to take her students out to lunch once they reached 25 points. So Lulu took the AR test for the fourth Harry Potter book, got 28 points and enjoyed a nice lunch from Arby's with her teacher!

Trunk or treat - Lulu was a pioneer girl, Ruby was Luna Lovegood and Bella wore her Fern the Green Fairy costume from last year.





Second round of trick or treating, Lulu decided to be a witch. With a basket :)

Daddy ingeniously made Bella (aka Fern) a broom also (from a back scratcher and ribbons), so she could be like her big sister.

The yummiest HOMEMADE German Chocolate Birthday Cake ever! Made by my sweet husband!

Super-delicious birthday presents!!

I wish I remembered what was going on here . . . Bella got into my mascara somehow and had some fun!
