Halloween Carnival

Me, Brandon, and the girls' Nanna and Poppa took them to a little Halloween carnival at the hospital yesterday. I'm never sure if things like that are going to turn out to be a total disaster or not, especially since they have been a little sick and had not had a nap.

They had so much fun! They played games like picking ducks out of the pond, but what they really wanted to do was get in the pond! They threw bean bags, but they most enjoyed the limbo game. They ran back and forth under it. Next was the haunted house. It was very tame, no one jumping out or anything. Anna loved it. Emma got a little scared when we got to a lighted bat and pumpkin. Anna wasn't scared at all, until we got to a gurney, I guess she didn't see the foot hanging off of it at first, because when she did she jerked back on my hand and gasped!!

Probably the most fun was the cake walk, which for my girls should be renamed the cake dance!! They giggled and bopped their way around until finally Emma won us a cinnamon apple bread!

Here is a picture of the four of us at the carnival. They took it and printed it for us there and had a table set up to make a frame. We passed on the frame.

Anna Eating a Rib

I got home a little late from work today. The babies had already eaten, so I just went and picked me and Brandon up some ribs. Anna and Emma kept getting on my lap and picking off of my plate. Those of you with kids know - they never want to eat anything as badly as they want to eat what you have. Anna picked up one of my ribs and was helping herself when Brandon took this picture. Thank goodness for photo editors, or you would see me with BBQ sauce on my face!

Emma Loves Her Mittens!

Well, I guess the title says it all. The girls' Nanna bought them some mittens and gloves. I tried to put a pair on Anna and she screamed and ran away. However, Emma loved hers! She kept walking around the house touching everything with her mittens on.

Momma and Daddy Time

I know this is supposed to be the twins' blog, but I'm posting about us anyway. Brandon and I went to Philadelphia this past weekend for the Eagles/Cowboys game. Brandon has always been a big Eagles fan so he was super pumped about the game. I didn't know how much I was going to enjoy it, but it was so exciting! With a game like that, I think you would have to be dead to not have fun. This is a picture of us just outside the stadium. Right behind us is the stage for the Fox NFL pregame show.

It was nice to get away, but we really missed Anna and Emma and are glad to be home.
