Happy Halloween

Lexi as a pirate this year - she was sick all week this week, so didn't get to enjoy her Halloween party at school
They dressed alike, just a smaller version for Cole

ARGH Matey!!

My smiling pirates

Full view

Lexi's mean face, and her earrings, they didn't last all night long, but she started out with them atleast!!

We stopped to see the English Family - Elmo and the race car driver.

Lexi being goofy thanks to the English family!!

Bryanna, Lexi and Meg heading to the neighbors -

Bryanna didn't like scary people!!

The pirates and their cowgirl - and her horse!!

They missed each other this week

She is so funny and so cute!!

See my horse everyone - I won it at Fun Central - it only took thousands of tickets that my Daddy bought me!!

The Butterflies finally arrive

Lexi with the first batch of butterflies - we had 17 waiting to arrive - 3 came with the first batch!!
Cole loves them..

Before we let the 3 go...

Flying away - Cole tried to catch it, but wasn't quick enough

Fun at the Carnival

Not quite quick enough on my shutter speek - but a neat picture none the less
