Happy Halloween

Here's a sneak peak of their Halloween costumes. We had a Halloween party today for the moms club.



Eva crawled under the table than stood up but was stuck so was screaming. I decided to first take a picture than save her.


Ella wearing mommy's spider headband. She was preoccupied with eating so didn't tear it off her head.





The slide was a hit, but she would land on her face each time. It was the funniest thing ever. What a mean mommy!



G&G worked really hard to get Eva to do SO BIG! It worked but it sure is a stuggle to get both arms way up high. Too cute!




We had never been to these caves before, it was amazing and beautiful!


On our way into the caves.

Ella in her underpants (as she would say) and my hat. What a combo. :o)

We had so much fun with G&G Lindahl here and Uncle Grant. We kept busy; Monday G&G and Grant watched the girls while we went house hunting and ran a few errands by ourself. (Thanks- we really appreciated that)! Tuesday we went to Hocking Hills, its so beautiful out here because of all the leaves changing colors. We only went to 1 cave and hiked around for awhile and than had a picnic. We then went to a pumpkin patch/farm after that. We had a great time, the weather was beautiful so that helped. Wednesday we looked at more houses, this time we all went because G&G wanted to see some of the houses too. It was fun! Still unsure where we will be in a couple months. Evan has been referred for 2 jobs in Colorado Springs, so we are praying something comes out of those 2 jobs. That would be awesome! If not Columbus may be our home for a few years. As long as we have a house to call home it may feel like home to us. Thursday Evan had to go back to work and I spent the entire day shopping with a girlfriend. It was sooo much fun! Friday G&G left so they could travel home and have 1 day to relax before going back to school. We thank them so much for visiting and for everything you did for all of us while you were here. Friday I had to work but not the overnight shift because we had a friend from college visit. So he stayed the night and on Saturday him and Evan went to the OSU football game. They had fun! I was also happy I didn't have to go. :o) I worked the overnight on Saturday night and Sunday we cleaned up a little and went to the park. The weather has been perfect, so trying to take advantage of it. Not liking the fact that it gets dark so early and daylight savings time has not yet happened. :o( We hope everyone has a safe and Happy Halloween.

Visitors Arrived

We are so happy to have G&G Lindahl and Uncle Grant here. They arrived Saturday afternoon. The marathon was Sunday and they all did great! Evan finished in 2 hours and 18 minutes and Grant and Mark finished in 2 hours and 38 minutes. Uncle David and Aunt Becky also came up for the weekend to visit so it was nice to see them again. We have all been pretty tired so the weekend was pretty uneventful just visited. Today Evan and I went house hunting and to lunch while the girls spent the afternoon with G&G and Grant. They all had a great time, so did we! Peace and Quiet;o) We haven't found the perfect one yet, still searching, although Evan has been applying for more jobs out of state so unsure if we will take that leap yet or soon. Great to get ideas when it happens because it better be soon. We actually found a great home for Madi BUT now I don't know if I can give her away. Ella just loves her soooo much, she even reads to her and makes her lie down. :o)

We have lots of plans for the week so lets hope it doesn't go too quickly!

G&G Lindahl are coming!

Playing in the leaves!

Or just eating them :o)



The Reds postseason game!


Last week the girls and I went out to my friend Jenna's house. She just bought a new horse and she let Ella ride with her. It's like a petting zoo out there, she has 2 other ponies, kitties, and puppies. So it keeps Ella and Eva busy!


The girls both playing with the puppy!

In 3 days G&G Lindahl will arrive and plan to stay for a week. We are so excited! We are lots of plans! Most involve the fall activities around Columbus. Evan and I both are taking some work of too spend time with them.

It seems like we don't have time for much these days. I feel as if the weekends are spent working and the weeks are spent catching up with housework. Kind of boring for the girls so I am trying to figure another system out. I am also planning on not working as much, only Friday overnight on the weekend so at least we feel as if we have a weekend. Evan and I got some alone time last week, we went to a Reds game. It was great to get away from the girls, kind of scary leaving the city but they did just fine. The game was exciting since it was a post season game but the most boring game ever and we lost so we're out of the playoffs. Evan had Monday off so we did some shopping and spent time at Easton walking around and enjoying the 85 degree weather. I'm pretty sure it's October and the weather is still hot like summer. I'm sick of it! I suppose since I'm complaining next week it will snow! Well I hope everyone has a great weekend. Wish Evan, Grand, and Mark luck in the half-marathon, I think they'll need it. :o) They all should have trained a little harder.

Eva's ears pierced

Eva was tired so didn't have any smiles but I think she enjoyed riding on the pony.

I got stuck underneath the table!

You can see my ears!



So we finally got Eva's ears pierced and she looks adorable! Although it was bad timing because she came down with a bad cold the same evening. I felt awful! Of course it was also this weekend when I was working so daddy had to care for her. It was a little rough for him, he is starting to realize just how hard it is to be home with them. We had time to go to one moms luncheon last week and went to the park thats about it. The weather went from burning to freezing so we stayed indoors because it was too cold last week. This weekend when I was home we moved around the bedrooms a little. Since we only have 2 bedrooms we have been sharing with Eva and she has not been sleeping well so we put Ella in with us and Eva in her own room so she will learn to sleep all night long. I definitely need a good night of sleep after working 2 overnights on the weekends. I just can't catch up! We have put a hold on looking at houses only because our real estate agents husband had a heart attack. We really like her and are in no hurry to buy so we are just waiting until he gets better. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of G&G Lindahl and Uncle Grant in 11 days. Ella and I are counting down the days. Evan, Grant, and his dad are running the half-marathon here in Columbus on Oct. 17th. Wish them luck!
