Early Fall 2013

It is dumping snow today, the first for us this fall.  It has reminded me that winter comes early around here, and I decided I better blog about fall before it disappears.

Miles City has a hay bale decorating contest each year.  The kids were very excited to go check out the creative bales.

We checked out the local pumpkin patch, and Bailey searched high and low for the perfect pumpkin.

Fall soccer was a short season, but Bailey loved it!  She is quite the little soccer player.

And of course Josie is a fantastic spectator.

Our MOPS group had a Harvest Festival, and the girls dressed up as ballerinas. There were fun crafts, games, and treats.

Our church had a Fall Festival fundraiser for the youth group. 

This is Sally the Salamander.  Grandpa Wayne spotted her on the road when he was driving with Bailey. We were visiting Harvey, ND.

Bailey got to keep Sally for the day, and she was actually a pretty cool creature.  We let her go that evening so she could find a good place to hibernate before the snow came that night.

Bailey traced leaves and painted a pumpkin at Grandma and Grandpa's house. I was very impressed.

Mom and Bailey decorated some Halloween cookies.  Yum!

Bailey made this vampire pumpkin which was my favorite of the day.

Woohoo for sisters!

That is our fall so far.  Halloween is in a couple of day, and I am sure I will remember to take some pictures of that.  Probably. Most likely. Let's hope.

Our little Josiepants is a trip. She makes each day an adventure. Here are a few things she has been up to lately.

 

Glamour Shots

I am not really sure what to say about these pictures.  Bailey is very into makeovers and playing with the make-up she got for her birthday.  She also loves to dress up in her "ballet" outfit and dance.  She put the two together and insisted I take some pictures while she posed.  I don't know if they are scary or pretty.  Let's all keep in mind that I am not in any way a photographer and I was using my phone for the photos. 

How did I miss these??

I was looking back through the pictures from Bailey's birthday weekend, and I found a couple of photos that somehow got left out of the blog.  Better late than never.

Dad got Bailey her own tackle box with an assortment of lures.

Kimber was the willing recipient of a makeover and manicure courtesy of Bailey. She got the make-up and polish for her birthday.
