Turkey Cookies...

We decided to make sugar cookie turkeys this year.... We saw a commercial where they used hand shaped cookies to make into turkeys, and Allie wanted desperately to do this...

After baking the cookies, the decorating began... We got to use my fun new toys from pampered chef...and these little squeeze bottles worked great for the girls!!!

Shannon had fun decorating, but seemed really to enjoy the role of quality control... testing every third candy corn!!

Some of our final products.... I guess they are turkeyesque!

Snow Day... well, almost snow....

The first winter storm arrived, and while it left me a little disappointed, Allie was thrilled. She spent the entire day outside playing in the "snow".... making snow angels, sledding, and trying to gather snow for a snowman....

They played out front til they wore the snow out, then headed out back... ended up making a muddy mess, but it was a great fun day for Allie.

Notice all the pictures of Shannon? Well, she went outside for about 2 minutes and said no more.. too cold.

Whacky Farmer Day

Today was whacky farmer day at school...so Allie wanted to dress up like a whacky farmer....

And Shannon decided she would be a whacky fireman.

Ok. fun times.

Creating Art

Allie spent the day with her grandparents at an OSU game while the rest of us stayed in Mac to work a craft fair.

While the game was a total bust.. Allie had fun and was able to create quite an art piece using only two things: granddads truck and leaves.

A Butterfly and her Ladybug Sister

As Halloween and Reformation Day approached, our house got busy getting ready... this means we carved more pumpkins.. :)

The final products...

And then the day arrives, and our girls got all dressed up... Could they be cuter? I think not... We started the festivities at a party in portland with some friends.... then headed home.

They are off in search of the Jenkin's girls...

The girls are ready to hit the streets for a few houses before heading home to give out treats..

At first, Shannon was not so sure about going up to the door, but after the first person put candy in her bucket, well, she got the idea and was all for it...
Then the real fun began... answering our door and handing out a treat of fruit snacks. ;)

It was a fun day....
