Hoogah and Boogah

Hoogah and Boogah are the names of the Goblins that performed today at Somerset Mall Halloween Party. (not Marianna and Max's nicknames....). What an awesome show! The kids had soooo much fun during the half hour show and then got to get on stage and get their pictures taken with the cast. It was a huge success!!
Some of the pictures might be trying to find "waldo" in the sea of 3-4 year olds that were there. We ran into several friends from Midvale like Ava and Ellie. Marianna had a blast!

Here are the best pictures....

Zoo Boo

On Friday we went with the Kepics and McCuistons to the Zoo Boo! It was a beautiful day and night for the event (first time ever that we have gone that it HASN'T rained!!)
Marianna was so excited to wear her Jessie costume, and to my surprise...not that many other Jessies out there! There were, however, a TON of Woody's and Buzzlightyears! Here is the proud Cowgirl...

Daniella was originally, going to be a princess, but since it was going to get chillier that night, we pulled out this costume Jill gave me. She was an adorable chick!!

Oh, this was fun trying to get a picture of the kids!

Max and Marianna went in the wagon together where they stayed the entire time!

Jenny and her boys, Charlie was supposed to be Thomas the Train...he brought the pillow we

got him for his birthday...how cute!

Jack and Daniella are a couple months apart...they chilled out so well together!

...end of night, Marianna counting her "loot"....

Wonderful Autumn Weekend

Marianna prefers to call Fall, "Autumn", so instead of a perfect fall weekend..she kept calling it a "Wonderful Autumn, Mom". My dad had a hip replacement surgery at Beaumont this weekend so we were back and forth to the Hospital (Marianna's new favorite place) to keep him company. We manage to fill the weekend days (while DJ was out tailgating) with dress up, apple pie baking, applesauce making, and a playdate. Here are some pictures from the weekend...

Thanks so much to Grandma for keeping us company and to my Aunt Jan for finding me and applesauce maker! We made 2 batches and as of Monday morning, they are almost gone and Marianna is begging to make more!

Just being lil D....best kid ever...

Yia Yia came over and brought Marianna this new cute outfit that we both love! Thanks, Yia Yia!!

Marianna also had Paloma over for a playdate and the girls had so much fun playing outside on a beautiful Sunday!
