Ellyse's newest obsession......

We rented Tinkerbell when it came out on Tuesday and since then Ellyse has watched it at least once everyday. It's a good thing Christmas is coming and we can get things like this for her. After I've watched it and listened to it for the last week I rather like the movie. I don't think its that annoying and the music is really pretty. I guess in a way, Tinkerbell gave me extra time this week to get things done around the house.....Thanks!!

Raging Ranger Ride

This morning Bryan wanted to go up by Mt. Charleston to ride the Ranger around. It ended up being lots of fun and the kids loved it. Maggie got out all of her energy which is not very common. The weather was just wonderful up there.

Little Helpers

Like most kids, Ellyse and lily don't like to clean up when it comes to their toys and messes. What I have found is that they like to help me with my chores. Ellyse likes to hang up her and Lily's clothes in the closet. I just have to give her the hangers and she does the rest. Both of the girls like to clean the mirrors. I'm not sure if it really helps me out but they love to feel important. Lily is really good at helping me empty the dishwasher. She hands me all the things she can reach. It brings a smile to my face to think that they just want to help their mom out.

Costumes

Here are some pictures of the girls costumes. About a minute after I took the picture, Lily was done with her lady bug costume. Ellyse on the other hand has been wearing her princess costume everyday for the last month. It's all about the age! We had lots of fun at our Trunk or treat. Surprisingly, the girls haven't showed much interest in their candy.
