Molly is crawling all over the house now.  She is pulling up.  She is into everything.  She is still a very good baby, but is now deciding that she would like to wake up and play in the middle of the night occasionally.  Why?  I don't know.  Maybe it is just a phase she is going through.  She is 9 months old this week and is wearing 12 month clothes.  She weighs 22 pounds and she LOVES to eat.  She has only 2 teeth, and spaghetti is her favorite food by far.  She is going to have to learn how to walk pretty quick because she is just almost too big for me to carry for a long period of time.  But oh, how sweet she is!!

This weekend was all about Sophie though.  Sophie spent the night with Anna Claire Friday night.  These three girls had big plans to go to the haunted house.  They talked about it every night for a week.  The anticipation was great, and I tried to prepare her so she wouldn't freak out.  But, Sadie was right....they didn't make it past the front door.  Sophie had a good time, but decided she didn't like haunted houses.  She said they creep her out. 

Sunday afternoon, Sophie went to Olivia's Halloween party.  They made masks, they made their own cupcakes, and read a scary story in the dark with flashlights. 

They wrapped each other up like mummies, and Sadie was excited to get to wrap Sophie up. 

All the treats were Halloween related:  Marshmallows made into eyeballs.  Chocolate chips labeled bat poop.  Pretzels as witches' fingers.  Dried apricots as earwax.   Goul-aid to drink.  Too cute!!



Sadie went with us so she could assist the kids with their masks and cupcakes.  She is such the helper.!! 

Molly went too, just because she could.   She was good and enjoyed watching all the kids run around.  She got held and got lots of attention. 

Next we went to the Fall Festival at church, which Sophie calls the Fall Festibal.  Sadie and I usually correct her, but for some reason we just looked at each other and smiled every time she said it.  We never said a word. 

They had many many games to play.  Sophie played almost every one.  She raced with an eyeball in a spoon, making sure she didn't drop it.  She fished for a prize at Mrs. Becky's.  She tossed some bean bags.  She got her face painted.  She had a ballon race.  That girl did it all!  And what a good time she had!

Little Miss Molly was worn out at the Fall Festibal.  She tried to stay awake, but finally let it go and crashed!!!

I will update tomorrow, pictures of my little trick or treaters.
