Happy Halloween!

 We had another fun time trick or treating this year!  
 Emily did a good job at being polite to the neighbors when asking for candy.  When we got back to the house, she wanted to try out ALL of her candy!
Sarah had fun and was a great big sister helping out with Emily.  She really enjoyed handing out candy to the kiddos too!

Costume Parade!

 Each year, there is a Costume Parade at the girls' school.  It's very cute to see all of the kids dressed in their Halloween outfits.  I believe there were the most Rapunzels for the girls and Spidermans for the boys this year.

Perot Museum

 We hadn't been to the Perot Museum in a while, so I decided to take the girls there last week.  They enjoyed it, like always.  We hadn't been in so long I wasn't aware they had Member Mondays which made it a LOT less crowded than when we used to go.  They always enjoy the xylophone!
 Checking out how different places in the world and the environment there would react if there was a climate change...



 The girls had fun!
 The Allen Fire Department came to visit the girls' school.  Emily's teacher sent me a couple of pictures of her experience.  They are so cute!

Pumpkin Patch!

\
 I took the girls to a local church that does a "Pumpkins on the Prairie" event each year, so I wouldn't exactly call it a "pumpkin patch" but close enough.  The girls had a blast, so that's all that matters. Sarah's favorite part was the hay ride and hay maze, while Emily's was the bounce house.

Lemonade Anyone?

 Last weekend, Rusty had a Solar Trade Show in Fredericksburg, so we went with him.  One of Rusty's co-workers had a great idea to have a lemonade stand there to give the girls something to do, and it was a hit!  The girls had a lot of fun with it.  Sarah became a pro at selling the lemonade (it was free and donations went to the Solar Energy Society), and Emily enjoyed sitting with her sister!  
 We went to a little German bakery, and Sarah wanted to have the entire cinnamon roll to herself.  This thing was massive, so we tried to convince her to share with her sister, but she refused.  The little girl ate the entire thing!
 So, Emily shared with me instead.
 We went to the Becker Vineyards, and the girls enjoyed the outdoors for a bit.  It was suppose to rain the entire weekend, but it ended up getting sunny for most of Sunday. 
Rooting on the Cowboys!  The point was to get them playing on TV in the background too, but that wasn't really a success.

Puppet Show!

 The girls had fun presenting their puppet show to me at the library yesterday!

Sarah tried to show Emily they weren't suppose to have their heads showing...
