We then went to ValPLAYso and the girls had a blast!  It is an awesome playground!

Side note…I have an excellent shot of my mother actually going down the slide that I chose not to post.  You are welcome, Cind.  Smile

Catching up…Halloween!

While Daddy was celebrating Reformation Day in Wittenberg, Germany, we celebrated the secular holiday of Halloween here in Virginia!  We revitalized last year’s costume and added a new sidekick to bring to you….Little Miss Muffet and her Spider!

Off to another house!

OK, I’ll let you take my picture

Mom!  Another house!  Cara LOVED trick-or-treating!  She would run up each driveway shouting “Ick O Treeeeeee!”  She then would very carefully select her treats and place them in her bucket.  One house gave out pre-packed baggies of candy bars and Cara did not like that at all.  I had to open the baggie so she could take each piece out and put it in her bucket!

All tired out.  Cara walked the whole way around our circle (half a mile), but had a blast!

Oh dear…

It appears to be hereditary…I don’t think she’s ever seen me do this…
