Wendy and Charles at Our House!

During the week, Wendy and Charles drove down from LA to stay at our house for a few days. The girls had fun getting all their old baby toys out to prepare for Charles coming and as soon as they got here, they couldn't wait to show them everything....the toys for the baby, school work they had done, and all the Halloween decorations. Poor Wendy, I don't think she was able to sit down for the first 30 minutes!! We had lots of fun with them. We went to a Halloween Festival in our neighboorhood and soccer practice and the girls showed them theirs schools and classrooms. I loved having both of them here. Charles is the sweetest, happiest nephew!! And I love seeing Wendy as a mom....she is great!
PS....If I asked Sophie what her shirt said, she would say, "BOO! AHHHH!"

Charles in California!!!

Right after our Halloween Party, we drove straight up to LA to see Wendy, Mark, and Baby Charles. Mark was in town for work and we stayed the night up there with them. It was Uncle Paul's first time to meet Charles. The girls could not have been any more excited to see their baby cousin. Both girls are very good with him and Kayleigh, especially, had a good time being a big cousin. She loved reading him books and helping Wendy. Sophie hasn't quite figured out if she likes having someone smaller than her, but she thinks he is "sooo cuuute". He was so funny when we first got there. The girls still had on their costumes and we think that Charles couldn't figure out if they were kids or animals like Tip Top and Oliver!!

And if you are wondering what the red mark on Sophie's nose is....she fell on the stairs about two minutes before it was time to leave for the party. Blood everywhere! But the good news was that I didn't have to put much paint on her nose to make her look like a cat....it was already pink!!

Halloween Party

Paul's ship had it's annual Children's Halloween Party (lucky for us, the ship was actually in for the children to be able to attend!!). The girls both wanted to be cats this year. Kayleigh was a sophisticated cat and Sophie was a leopard cat. They had fun at the party. The engineer department puts together a really good haunted house and the RRFA (our family association, I'm the treasurer) had a cookie walk that the girls participated in over and over again while I put tattoos on all the little kids. Needless to say...they won a lot of cookies. I had to beg for their number not to be pulled anymore!!
