The girls had a lot of fun going to Amarillo to visit their cousins and friends for halloween. Sara was a ladybug and Sophie was a garden gnome. We went to a balloon festival, a carnival at my aunt's church, then trick or treating. I think they both had the most fun trick or treating. Sophie didn't really know what was going on, but she really liked holding open her bag and getting candy put into it.

Here she is with uncle Avi just before we went trick or treating.


All of her cousins anxiously waiting to leave.

Fun in the Fall

We went to the pumpkin patch this morning with Bubbie and the girls had a lot of fun loading up baskets with the little pumpkins and gourds.






Last night we went to the fair so the girls could see the animals and we could eat lots of junk food. We all had a good time. Sophie really liked petting the sheep and goats.




This one is just a cute picture we got last weekend of the girls watching tv with cousin Tzippy.



Now, after all the fun we've had, Sara appears to be coming down with the flu. She had a fever on Saturday and Sunday, then was fine for two days. Now the fever is back along with a cough and runny nose. She's just been laying on the couch since lunchtime and even took a nap today. Poor girl doesn't feel good at all.

Tea Party

Sara is always wanting to have a "special tea party" for snack. Since they were both dressed cute the other day, I took pictures during our tea party. They love doing this and you can tell Sophie thinks she is big when she drinks out of a "real" cup. Such cuteness.

Blogity Goodness

I haven't really felt like I have much to say lately. Things have been going well. I'm doing good on my medication and have been feeling much better. Day to day life is still hard with two very needy little girls, but it's much easier than it was before I started my medication.

Rosh Hashana was yesterday and the girls had a lot of fun helping mom get things ready for the party she had.

Here they are putting together gift baskets for the guests.

New Website

I have recently signed up to sell Usborne children's books to help me make a little money and have something to do. I have a website for free for the first six months, check it out and order some books if you can. I'm thinking about having a "party" in Amarillo and here sometime for those that can make it, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to. Anyway, here's the website, thanks for looking! http://www.myubam.com/B3727

Worst Movie Ever

OK, so the movie wasn't actually the worst, I even enjoyed it. It was, however, the worst movie going experience I've ever had. We went to see Transformers Saturday night because we had free tickets from KMart. We had to buy tickets early, then go back to the theater to wait in line for nearly an hour to get a seat. Once in the theater, we found good seats and just waited. Of course, we forgot to bring our own snacks, so we spent $25 on our free movie, but that was our own fault. The movie finally started and we watched for 2 1/2 hours. Then, just as it was getting intense and was probably 10-15 minutes from the end, the projector broke. The theater went dark. People were all yelling and wondering what was happening. Then the manager and a police officer came in and gave everyone "rain checks" to see another movie or watch that one again. It was already midnight and we had to pick up Sophie or I would have stayed and demanded my money back. Then I remembered we didn't actually give them money, so I got over it and we went home. We still haven't seen the end of the movie and will be using our rain checks for something else, probably Harry Potter next month. Pete is looking for a copy of it to download so we can at least see the end. We were very irritated that night and disappointed that we sat through that long of a movie only to miss the very end.
