Happy Thanksgiving from the Pilgrims!! (not sure why Sydney made a boy hat at preschool instead of a girl one, but we'll just have to use our imaginations here....)
Ever since daylight savings time started a few weeks ago we have playing indoors after dinner. We hadn't played with the easy bake oven for ever so we pulled it out and three nights in a row the girls begged to bake something with the oven. It was a lot of fun until the third night when Sydney broke out in a rash around her mouth after just tasting the tiniest bit of brownie mix batter. I looked at the package and sure it enough it said "may contain traces of peanuts." Who puts peanuts in easy bake oven mixes, c'mon!! So that night I had to tell Sydney she couldn't eat the brownies she was about to make. She was so sad. Then Lindsey, sweet as can be, said "Sydney, if you can't have the brownies, I won't eat them either." Then Daddy came up with the idea to have huge ice cream sundaes instead. He pulled out every thing of chocolate sauce and sprinkles we had. Soon Sydney was smiling again!!
Happy Halloween (only 5 days late!!) Lindsey went as Cinderella this year and Sydney went as Uniqua from the Backyardigans. We went with some of our neighbors and made it all around the two neighborhoods by our house this year which means LOTS of candy. I thought for sure Sydney would get tired but she kept up the whole time.
Above are Lindsey, Sydney and Colin getting ready to go out trick or treating. Below are Lindsey and Sydney with the neighbors, Teagan, Colin and Josh and we can't forget the cutest trick or treater, Amelia. Isn't she adorable!!!
We went to our favorite pumpkin patch, the 101 Market in Otsego, and got our pumpkins again this year. The girls had fun digging the guts out. David helped Lindsey with hers and I helped Sydney. David was done with his and Lindseys by the time I even had Sydney's eyes done. I guess the power tools he used helped, although it made quite the mess! We had pieces of pumpkin all over the kitchen!!
