WE WILL SURVIVE!!!!

Some of the decorations on each floor of the Building... they really went all out!


Kaitlyn or should I say Jasmine showing off her candy corn cookie.


Princess Aurora picked a pumpkin sugar cookie and was in high heaven!


Daddy and his princesses.....how cute are they?

Alrighty, our horrible week last week is far behind us now and we are all doing much better - thanks for those who helped out! H1N1 has run its course from everyone so that is great and I am thankful we caught it as early as we did as I know it could have been a ton worse! Brent is back to normal with his allergic reaction and we have made a new family friend in the process so that is always wonderful.

The girls are doing great - they actually had a huge week with friends coming over for dinner and then yesterday they both got out of school early to head down to Daddy's work for their annual Trick or Treat Bash. They got all dressed up and were able to go floor to floor - office to office trick or treating. If it gives you any idea we had to dump the candy in their buckets two times because they got so full! Kaitlyn was Jasmine and Addison was Aurora...they wanted to be something different this time around as opposed to their actual costumes on Halloween.

To top it all off, the girls then were able to have a Daddy-Daughter Date. They changed and hit the season opener to the OKC Thunder with Daddy. They were seriously all smiles all day in anticipation for their fun night! It was really cute.

No big plans over the weekend - just going to trick or treat our hearts out....wonder if their stamina will equal last years 2 and 1/2 hours of ringing doorbells...we shall see!!!! Hope all is well with all of you....Brewer we are thrilled for you guys! LUMUKU....

How do you repair a broken Jack-O-Lantern?

BUY A PUMPKIN-PATCH...Ha, Ha, Ha....



So we finally did it and hit the Pumpkin Patch around here. It was actually a blast as the weather turned gorgeous at a sunny 70 degrees - not to mention that the patch had pony rides, animal petting, games, corn mazes, food and really large tree swings! Probably the best part was the girls playing in the haystacks...Oh and the pumpkin that Addison was certain was for her...check out the photos...too funny!!!

We are going on a Dracula Hunt with G&G H...

So it has been another great week or so as Grandma and Grandpa Hochtritt came to visit from WI. We showed them the girls schools, our favorite parks, the mall, soccer games, gymnastics and numerous other fun adventures!

Probably one of the best parts was this skit that the girls put on one night for all of us...they went on a Dracula Hunt. Seriously, who knows where their little minds come up with such things (actually I think it was from this book I bought at the book fair about a Dracula who is afraid of everything at Halloween and needs his Mommy and Daddy to walk around the house and neighborhood with him). Anywho, the skit was something like this: "We are going on a Dracula Hunt, get your binoculars, get your cape and your fangs....oh no there is a huge swamp - can't go around it or under it, guess we have to go through it - let's put on our rain boots to get through....we did it, let's keep going. Going on a Dracula Hunt...oh no there is a spooky house: should we knock?" It is here where their voices got really quiet and shaky as they both were pretending they were scared...then Addison ducked out of the room while Kaitlyn described how nervous she was to open the door. Then when Kaitlyn opened the door she screamed and ducked and in came Addy with princess wings on pretending to be a bat (We only knew because she kept saying "I a Bat, I a Bat")! Seriously, it was fabulous....I actually did get it on video and I am so thankful!

We are so excited that Grandma and Grandpa were able to come and spend some quality time with us - thank you guys so much for all the cleaning, hanging, laundry, cooking and errands that you ran...it was such a huge help! Our door is always open!
