Kitty Kat Prance

The girls had a little dance number that they did for an retirement home this past Saturday with their dance class. They were little kitties and they did the kitty kat prance. They were mad before the performance - I can't remember why. Here are a few shots...

It's time for a haircut...

Last evening, Dan and I were preparing supper in the kitchen and doing some catching up while the kids were doing various things. After seeing new artwork on the kitchen cupboards and then going into the bathroom and seeing marker all over the countertop, we sat down to our meal. Dan looked over at Kylie noticed that she had trimmed her hair during all the hoopla. They had all been very busy!

Here's what we saw:


































Her nice little bangs are pretty much gone. Oh well, they will grow back! :)

Smell my finger...

I have a funny one to tell on Kylie and Levi. I was in the kitchen when I heard Levi yelling for me from the living room. He complained, "Mom, Kylie told me to smell her finger and so I did. She didn't tell me she had just stuck it in her butt right before that! Ewww, that was gross!"

I asked Kylie why she did that and with a smile she sweetly said, "I don't know." Then I had a talk with Levi. I explained that if anyone asks you to smell their finger (or pull their finger) you should politely decline the offer. :)

You just can't make up stuff like this, eh! Real life at the Edblads.

Halloween

This year the kids were a pirate, a cowboy, one ballerina, and Jesse the Cowgirl from Toy Story. All came from our dress up box or from around the house and didn't cost us a dime. Costumes can get so expensive!

We took the kids to a church here in town and did "trunk or treating" first. There were probably 20 cars with their trunks decorated parked in this church parking lot and kids could come and "trunk or treat" there. It was really fun and the kids enjoyed looking at everyone's trunk and nabbing some loot but ... call me a traditionalist because I think the way we used to celebrate Halloween is still the best way. It was still early when we finished there so we took the kids to another town to "trick or treat" door to door.

It was fun for all of us as Dan and I ran into lots of people we knew. Unlike many other Halloweens, the weather was mild and great for being outside! We returned home around 8 pm after getting some pretty full sacks of candy.
