Calvin raked up several piles of leaves this past weekend. He didn't have time to take them to the burn pile, so I started doing that today. The girls went back and forth between playing in the leaves and helping me pick them up.

Pumpkins and Halloween
We finally sat down to carve our pumpkin for Halloween last Friday. I tried to get the girls to scoop out the insides, but neither one of them were interested in getting their hands slimy. Instead, they watched me do it. After getting everything scooped out, I decided to let Aubrey draw the face on and then I would cut it. Her version was cute, but very small, so I had to make it a little larger. After getting everything cut out, Aubrey wanted to save some seeds to plant next year, so we had to separate the seeds from the pulp and then wash them. The girls did that part for me!
Trick or treating was fun. Aubrey was a cheerleader, while Chloe was a cowgirl. We normally just take the girls to the relatives, but this year we decided to take the girls around town. We took them around a couple blocks and they got tons of candy and loved it! They both got the hang of saying "trick or treat" before they got candy.

Growing Up
Chloe went pee-pee in the potty tonight for the second time. Hooray! She's been sitting on the potty for forever that it's exciting that she's actually gone now. She's also started looking for things with letters on them and whenever she sees any letters, she'll point to them and say, "Now I know my ABC's!". She's such a goofy girl!
Watching a movie together - I love these moments!
