Daddy Daughter Day (Like that Alliteration? GRIN)

Fall break is here. Doreen had the beginning of the week of and Joelle & Natalie have the 2nd part of this week off from school.

Things worked out on my trips just perfectly, so that I could be home on their days off. I didn't even ask for it - it just happened.

So, they've been doing so great in school and I wanted to do some fun stuff with them for fun.


We started out today making Jack-O-Lanterns.













Now one thing you have to understand, Joelle HATES sticking her hands on the inside of a pumpkin. For all her 'tomboyishness' she hates getting the guts out of a pumpkin. Found some latex gloves for her, 10 sizes too large, but she did it.








Pumpkin guts!













Once we got the carving done, the girls had more fun playing with the cut-out eyes, nose and mouth of the pumpkin. So here they are 'trying on' the smiles!










Natalie's posing with the pumpkin dudes!













Joelle posing with them in her own way. (See the HUGE difference in the personallities of my kiddos??)

After we got everything cleaned up from that, we went to watch a new movie we recently picked up, "The Secret of the Cave." It was a 'little' old for them, but I think they got it in the end!






When the movie finished, it was time for lunch. Joelle's putting her touches on our pizza.











Natalie added her style to lunch.














Salad makers!















The finished product.













Here's our pizza, just before we devour it!!!













After lunch was over, we went to Burger King to get 1 chocolate shake and 1 strawberry shake, a medium order of fries and a water. Then we went in the playplace, share the shakes and fries, then the girls go play in the playplace and had a BALL! (It was raining here today, so a perfect day to play inside.)

After we left there we ran some errands, got home, put stuff away then played for a bit till Doreen gets home.

It was a GOOD day!
