Gymnastics

Quinn & Kathryn just recently "graduated" from their gymnastics class.  As a part of graduation day, the Mommies & Daddies were invited into the class & we were even allowed to take pictures! Of course I was thrilled because I had spent all of the other class days stuck behind a glass window, my babies unable to hear me cheering them on! 

This was Kathryn's second time through Gymnastics, Quinn's first.  They were thrilled that their classes shared the gym--they warmed up together and then broke down into two classes, based on age.  I saw Kathryn try to sneak over to the big girl class a few times in the beginning-- and I'm pretty sure Quinn was egging her on-- they just love playing together ;)

Both really liked it but neither could stop talking about being a ballerina and going to dance class, so this will be our last gymnastics class for a while.  I don't think you would get this out of the pictures but Quinn has said she doesn't want to go back to gymnastics again and Kathryn kind of misses it.  



























This was so sweet-- kk loved getting her ribbon but got a little nervous when it was her time to be up there alone

and big sis was right there, trying to make it better

Happy Halloween!!

We had such a fun Halloween week!  The Monday night before Halloween, we went to Trunk or Treat at the girls' school.  Our two little Ariels had a blast, and didn't mind sprucing up their costumes with some mittens & warm hats-- it was FREEZING!! (or at least, it felt like it to me ;)  On Halloween, we went to a party in our neighborhood & went trick or treating with some of the neighbors.  Dean ended up taking Kathryn, while I chased Quinn, who chased the big kids through the neighborhood...



Quinn LOVES her Miss Jenny
