Halloween 2009

Despite the weather the girls and I had a great Halloween. We met up with friends in Watertown for some early trick or treating (in hopes to avoid the rain). I think we can consider this year a success, plunty of candy, wind blown but most importantly.... no rain !!!

I asked Hanna to show me her mean face!!!

I then asked them to show me what it would look like if they actually got along today !!!!!!

And this was the one moment today that Miss Kate looked happy.......... she did not want to stand up for the picture because ..... "Mom, I have a cape on, do you want me to FLY AWAY".........

Pumkin Carving

Rescue 911

Saturday afternoon the girls found four abandoned kittens. They rushed home to tell me all about what they found and I instantly knew my weekend plans had changed.... I'd be staying home caring for these little guys because "we can't just leave them out there all alone". (per kate and Hanna)

Here we come to save the day...... oh and don't forget feedings every two hours... :) To be honest, it's going to be difficult dropping these little guys off at the SPCA tomorrow. I have a soft spot for them because in just 24 hours you can see them gain strength and want to interact. My girls have big hearts and they both did a great job helping me care for these little guys.

Bella has cousins

Coocoo got two new puppies, 8 weeks old German Shepards. The one by the cabinet door is Molly, she has a crooked ear that everyone adores and the other cutie is Sydney. Bella's a little over excited when she's around Molly and Sydney so they have not established a bond yet but there will be......

Stacia and Poppi

The girls and I had a great time visiting Stacia, Poppi and Grandma.... I enjoyed listening to Poppi laugh as the girls told him stories.

Happy Birthday Mom!!

No, your eyes have not deceived you.... it does say, "I hope you are not to old".... I love them!!!

Perfect Pics by Ash

Ash had to take pictures for a school assignment and she asked if she could come and take picture of the girls. Of course the girls would never miss out on an opportunity at being the center of attention..... Here are a few pictures that Ash took... great job and perfect pictures.

Open House 2009

Hanna's in 3rd grade !!

Kate's in 1st grade !!

You have to love your little sister

Poor Hanna! she tried to have a mature moment with a friend but Kate has a way of crashing the party.... I love it

Success all around

The girls have had a successful first week at school and gymnastic class.

They both enjoy school and love their teachers. I am amazed at how quickly they blended into this small town school. We have already had a week of homework and I think I cried more than Kate did. They both view school as just a big "social gathering" and believe me, I hear it every morning when we fight over what outfit to wear, what shoes look "stupid" and how they can't get their hair to look right. Mornings in the Sellick house is nothing but pure "FUN".....

Tonight was the first gymnastic class and I think they both did great. Hanna decided to join and I'm shocked at how good she looked considering this was her first class. This year the classes are much smaller so they both get more individual time with the instructor.
