Halloween Eve

Looks like it's time for us to get some legit toys for our babes. Here they are chewing on random stuff they found on our bedroom floor.

I love the area where we live and that we live so close to so many great people. If you look closely, you can see Emma in her red dress across the street, boo-ing one of our neighbors. I love that I can send her on errands to our neighbors and see her from our front door.

The girlies love serenading the babies with their violins. Lucy really wants to be a part of it. She has an old violin Dallas' mom got for her and she loves playing on it but has not yet started violin lessons. Maybe soon though because she really wants to do what her sisters do.

I went to spend some time with some friends tonight and was so impressed with Dallas when I got home. (Let's be honest - I'm always impressed with him and what he does with his time :) Anyway, he got the babes to sleep, made his pie crust and carved all these pumpkins for us. What a guy. He jokes that is our family Halloween tradition - we tell him how we want the pumpkins to look and he does it. 

Tonight we had a little visitor a little after midnight. Dallas and I had not even gone to bed yet and Alice woke up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed thinking it was morning. We let her know that it was still the middle of the night - we hadn't even gone to bed yet! Dallas took her out to see the pumpkins and she was so happy.

The other thing I was going to mention was running on the treadmill and listening to one of the trainers talk about mindfulness. I could be a lot better with being mindful. Mindful of what I am doing with my time, how I am interacting with my family, what I am eating, etc. Also, I really like our treadmill. I like that I can "travel the world" and run in lots of different places. Makes a treadmill way more exciting. :)
