Halloween 2012

The girls were super excited to be able to have their piano lessons in their Super Hero costumes!  

Haemi was just as excited to get to see them in their costumes...

 .....exhibiting their Super Hero strength.

The hour has finally arrived.

Their first stop brought in three pieces of candy each!

Those crazy Crowleys...they turned a wagon into a goolish hearse for the two little ones to travel in.  It even had lights.  Pretty creative....

Tim had the entertainment cart.

Same werewolf, different year...

At the end of the evening, the moms carried the little ones and the big girls hopped in the hearse for the trek home.

Another good Halloween...

See ya' later five!

Quincy wanted a butterfly cake this year made out of pink and red hearts (?????).   I did it... but I'm mixed about how it turned out.

 

 Uncle Mike tuned 25 again this year---for the 24th time. 

 Uncle Dave, Aunt Cathy, and 2/3rds of their girls joined us for awhile.

 What would a birthday be without your best friends with you?

Quincy was totally excited for these two books---these are the last two of the Beezus and Ramona series that she hasn't read.

Aunt Cathy gave her a book that comes highly recommended by Meagan, her youngest.  From the looks of it, it sounds like it's right up Quincy's alley.

Uncle's Mike and Eric gave Quincy a new Brain Quest series and a World Atlas---she is totally into/loves Geography right now (hence why she is hugging the atlas!).

Just a great pix of Jen and Otis...

...and a great pix of Remi and Tink.

...and a great pix of Julie (which she is going to be angry at me for!).

Savannah---fast and short :(

We went to Savannah last weekend for a ridiculously short visit just to see everyone who we haven't seen since last July (!-- It had been wayyyy too long!).  We left at 6 in the morning on Saturday and were back by 3 in the afternoon on Sunday----just in time for Ellie's soccer game!

 

 Jill is the only person I know who can go on a nature walk (close to two miles?) in heels. 

 

 

For Lauren and Barb

Please know she's happy.  

And loved.

Tink

Sooo....you know we have a new dog.  She is huge but, like all the other dogs we've ever had, she thinks she's small.  The other day was the girl's first spirit day at school.  Their mascot is the Dolphins---so (naturally) I made skirts and shirts in that theme.  And of course I wanted a photo of it.  But trying to get a decent photo without a 125 pound dog pushing her way in (to get some love) was close to impossible.  

  

She is yummy.....and we have all fallen for her (and she matches the girls really well when they are wearing heather-gray!).
