A few evenings ago, after the girls had dinner they were running around the house playing - pretty normal. I had a few things to take care of on the computer, so I was in our dining room and they were going back and forth from the living room to the family room. They were especially good - and particularly quiet - which is always a time for questioning what the heck is going on. After about 10 minutes of silence and scurrying, I heard Erin start yelling "I Party. I Party. Cheers!"
Of course, this made me get up and see what they were up to....
Erin had set up our glass cocktail table in the family room with all of our little chairs around it - like 6 chairs/stools. She then put a stuffed animal (Tiger, Pooh, Curious George, Elmo, another Elmo) on each chair and a bunch of plastic food, cups, plates and misc. items on the table. She made a party!
Evelyn proceeded to drag me upstairs so she could get Pinkie Pie (her pink pony). She ran it downstairs and included her in the party.
It really is amazing to think of how their brains work. They must see us entertain often and knew it is just something you do. But, really it was the cutest thing ever!!
There is a fun place in the area called Jumping Jiggles. They have all kinds of fun kid things. We went a few weeks ago with Jen, Kate & Ally. Just a few months ago Erin would wig out if you moved the teeter totter when she was on it, but she has become much more adventurous and now likes to use it properly.
A few weeks ago Dave's employer (WMS) held an Autumn Festival for all employees families. We had a great time - and the girls just loved it. They went all out with plenty of activities for big kids and little ones. They had a petting zoo, pony rides, games, lunch and tons of free pumpkins!!
There was a really cute little orange piglet and Erin really wanted to catch it. She kept chasing it all around the pen, but just could not get it! What a bummer.
Ev really enjoyed eating cinnamon apple donuts. Something possessed Dave into giving her a whole donut!! I think she might have even eaten the entire thing! She was not as big a fan of the petting zoo and preferred to be held most of the time we were in the pen. Ev is not the biggies animal lover.
We also got to take a fun hay ride and tour of the manufacturing plant where they make the slot machines. That was pretty cool! Since we have one at home the girls know just how to play. Some day we might regret having a slot machine in the house... But, all the kids LOVE it!

We spent Sunday morning at the local Botanical Gardens having photos snapped at us. Got some cute ones - enjoy!!
Today I took E&E to the park and then we had a nice lunch with my parents who have been out of town for a few weeks.
