Gemma's first Halloween

Here is one of Gemma's Halloween costumes! She had a tinkerbell costume to match Amelia's and she wore it to a neighborhood Halloween party. However, it was in the low 50's temperature wise on Halloween we opted to put her in the zebra costume I got last year on clearance because it was much warmer!

My first Halloween!

Gemma's first Halloween!

Also: Gemma is not feeling cooperative about having her picture taken.

Black and orange

Amelia had black and orange day at preschool in Tuesday (I'm less than a week behind!)

She picked: black leggings with silver stars, an orange "ghouls just wanna have fun" shirt with a sparkly ghost, and orange ribbons in her hair,

Pre Halloween fun!

On Saturday, we were invited to a neighborhood Halloween party. So, the kids dressed up and off we went! We played games and chatted with friends.

Amelia wasn't loving the bigger kids in their scary costumes. At all. Her dace was so sad and she absolutely refused to leave my side. So, daddy took her home. Gemma and William enjoyed themselves very much. William even mustered up the courage to go through an extra spooky haunted house! I was pretty nervous, but it turned out okay!

William agreed to be a pirate and the girls were both tinkerbell. Somehow, Gemma didn't make it into any of my pictures on my phone from that day!

The heidtbrow

All the Heidts can do this THING with their eyebrows. I can't seem to do it. Gemma can. Outperformed by the baby ....

Hey guys!

What's up? Gemma has been working hard at sitting up for the last 2 weeks and she now has it mastered well enough to have me take pictures while she is doing it (and I'm not afraid of her sustaining a head injury)

She loves being upright and being able to see what is going on around her. She is so sweet and fun! How can you not love all the rolls on her legs, dimples on her arms, and those fat cheeks?

Mom's night

Snow White (Amelia) and I attended her presshool's Halloween themed mom's night last week. She and I danced, sang, played games, crafted, listened to stories and had a great time. My girl certainly loved the attention! She doesn't get to be center stage very often lately OR have one parent all to herself. Both of us enjoyed the night out very much!
