For Halloween Zoe wanted to be a fairy, and Arleigh wanted to be what ever Zoe was. So we found some fairy wings and made these cute little tulle tutus. I think they turned out super cute.
OK, so I don't actually have any pictures of them trick-or-treating but it was stinkin' cold and we only trick-or-treated for a short amount of time.
In October we carved pumpkins, Of Course! Arleigh didn't actually get the option to carve a pumpkin, but she sure did love coloring her little pumpkin. Poor child, she's so deprived. Zoe got to color and carve a pumpkin. It was a lot of fun.
Waaay back in October we made sugar cookies and decorated them. The girls had a lot of fun.
This year we had a pretty good garden, if I do say so myself. I am amazed at what we were able to grow, considering we only weeded once and that was when the grass got to my knees. My favorite thing we grew was our giant sunflower. It never got weeded and was off at the end of the garden that we weren't to worried about watering. And yet it was huge! I wish I would have gotten a picture of it when it was blooming, it was so awesome. Maybe we can get another one just as big next year.
So, if you haven't notice, I am a little behind on my blog. My goal is to get all caught up in the next couple of weeks. HA! Oh, I mean, totally do-able.
So waaay back in September Ben decided to get chickens. And I have to say I totally prefer the chickens to the goats. We have them fenced into the pasture and they don't even try to get out! I know amazing! And if they do get out, we just have to wait till it gets dark and they go put themselves up for the night. Which is totally Awesome! Unlike the stupid goats that constantly try to get out and when they do get out it takes for ever to catch them and get them back in the pasture. Stupid Goats. Sooo, I prefer the chickens. And so do the girls. Zoe loves them, Arleigh loves them, and I love the fresh eggs. Oh and Ben loves them too.
