Happy Halloween!

Meet the self-proclaimed "Mr. Conductor" and "Princess"

We sadly missed out on Saturday's Trunk-or-Treat due to an untimely stomach flu, but joined in on the neighborhood Halloween party and stopped by a few houses this evening.  The kids had a great time and were so excited to dress up!  We let them chose their costumes this year, their requests started with a train and butterfly, but Hallie quickly changed her mind and wanted to be a princess and Micah somewhere along the line decided he wanted to be "Mr. Conductor" as he calls himself.

**This has been a frequent nap time occurrence lately, just had to document!**

M and H turn 3

 We celebrated Micah and Hallie's actual birthday at Red Robin.  They loved the balloons, ice cream, and were stunned by the singing.  Neither moved a muscle throughout the whole song. 

My family came to visit over their birthday weekend.  It was rainy and gloomy all weekend, but we managed to have fun with make shift decorations and dance party. 

A day at the zoo with Hallie

Tyson and Micah went away for the weekend and while they were away Hallie and I spent the afternoon at the Point Defiance Zoo. It was fun to let her run the show and let her pick where she wanted to spend her time.  It was still a little chilly so the zoo was virtually empty which made for an incredibly enjoyable afternoon.
