WANNA SEE SOMETHIN' PRETTY...?

I gave Emmi some makeup to play with...I thought I'd picked out a rather mild colored lipstick....LOL *ack!!* It was so funny when I came back to check on her and her whole face was pinkish! She looks like a little indian. Oh well...she had fun!

So...One day in October Joie was waiting for her ride to school...It was rainy out but not cold, so she took her umbrella out and jumped on the trampoline while waiting! I thought it was cute so

of course I broke out the camera!

And here's the Princess doing what the princess does...

Ember and Joie were in the church service on Oct 25th. It was an "all children service". Emmi dressed up like one of the sheep. (Here she is trying on her sheep costume.) The kids did skits, sang songs (some with sign language), said prayers, and spoke up front. It was very enjoyable! They did a great job.

Singing "Jesus Loves me" with friends--Papa is for moral support!

On Oct 18th we loaded up and headed to Tampa for the weekend to surprise Grandma Karen (Ru's mom) for her 60th birthday...Boy, was she surprised!! Kevin's sister Kim's family came from Maryland too, which was an even bigger surprise for Karen, as they traveled a loooong way just for the weekend! It was great to see everybody. We had fun just spending time--something we don't all get to do together very often... Karen told us many times to how much she appreciated the weekend! Happy Birthday Grandma Karen!

Hiding behind the sofa when she got home from church...and her reaction to the "Surprise!" jumping out from behind the sofa!..lol
