Happy Halloween!

My girls, our butterfly Addisyn, and Kylynn as Belle Our little butterfly!

Happy Halloween! We had a great night with the girls, despite no nap for Kylynn today. We came home and played in the leaves, had some dinner, Chinese:), got ready and headed to Grandma and Papa's first. She did really well and really enjoyed herself. She got to trick or treat with her cousin Cambrey. We then headed over to Auntie's house for some more trick or treating. I think she made out pretty well. It was a fun evening for her. This also helped me get a better attitude towards Halloween, I always hate dressing up but watching her just glow in her Belle dress was a wonderful feeling.
They just loved the leaves, Kylynn loved playing in them, Addisyn loved eating them.

We've been a little busy here, hence the lack of blogging. I'll update everyone soon with the happenings in the Vugteveen home, but I do begin class again this week. I've had 2 weeks off and it has been so nice not having to do any school work. Conferences are this week as well. A busy next couple of weeks for me so keep our family in your prayers.

Research paper time...

Yup, that's right I just finished my second research paper for the ELL class I'm taking. I am very excited to submit all of my work tomorrow and have 2 weeks off. I won't have to do any reading, posting, or going to class:)

We've been pretty busy around here. The girls both have colds, no fun, but it doesn't seem to stop them. They both sleep wonderfully and have fun playing all day. I shouldn't say that, now I'll have one up tonight.

We visited Grandma and Grandpa VanDyke a few weekends ago and went to Gallaghers to help grandma get a pumpkin. We picked our own pumpkins out this past weekend. Are you really supposed to pick out pumpkins in October when it's 80 degrees. Kari and I about died in the heat. While we were in TC we were able to catch up with Trish and the kids. I finally got to meet baby Camden. He is adorable, such a cute little chunky guy. The girls had a great time together, I really wish we lived closer. Someday maybe.

We celebrated Jason's birthday yesterday. I felt terrible, I left after dinner and headed to school to work on my papers and he was with the girls for the night. I didn't even get a cake or anything. It must mean we are getting old when your birthday is just another day. We are so blessed to have him in our lives though. He is a wonderful husband and a terrific father to my girls. Kylynn just loves being outside with him and helping him unload the dishwasher. Yup, you heard that right, she likes to unload the dishwasher. We're training her early.

Enjoy some updated shots of the girls. It's getting harder and harder to get good pictures.
