Anna excited about her first hayride
Anna and Kate in the Corn box house. Its like a sand box but with corn it it instead. Here Anna is about to pour corn on her sister's head. Notice how Kate is smiling in anticipation.
Getting ready to go Trick or Treating with some nieghborhood kids.
Anna's serious painting face. She spent 45 painting her two pumpkins
Kate played more with her paint than anything but it kept her busy for 30 minutes.


Yes ,Kate is playing in a ditch. Technically it is part of a protected waterway that eventually drains into the river. But really it only has water in it when it rains, so its a ditch. But doesn't it look like a nice little woodland stream?

Playing Checkers at Forrest Hill Farm. I have bought some of the best apples I've ever eaten here. So delicious. They also sell pies and homemade pumkin and apple doughnuts. So you see we have had to make several trips to visit.

The girls and I met some friends at Annemarie Garden fro Halloween at the Garden. Its basically trick or treating at different booths throughout the walking path. It nicely decorated and you don't have to worry about cars. There is a $1 admission fee that goes to a local food pantry. It is now a yearly tradition for us. Anna went at a bride or in her words a "Weddin' Girl". Kate was Little Red Riding Hood. Kate was so Big and walked the whole time. She was so exhausted she didn't make it home before falling asleep.

Chipman Baby #3

Today we went for our 20 week ultrasound. It's another Girl! So it will be very easy to prepare for this new baby. I just need to wash clothes and buy a new crib mattress, since Kate moved with hers into a toddler bed. That is it, and I'm done. Kinda nice not to have to find a place for non pink princess stuff. Below are some photos fo Kate's new bed and a glimpse of the newest member of the circus.






A work in progress. Anna and I are making a doll house for her polly pocket sized dolls out of a cardboard box.

Kate's Jump Bunch class

Kate is really enjoying her jump bunch class and I am really enjoying having that time alone with her. Mike watches Anna so that Kate and I can go by our selves. Jump Bunch is a P.E. class for preschoolers. Kate is actually in Jump Bunch Tots which just means that is is less structured and allows more free play time. Kate's favorite part is when Coach Reggie blows bubbles at the end of each class. She squeals loudly and says "bubbles" in her little two year old voice. Here are some pictures and videos of her fun time at class.

First Dance Class

Anna attended her first dance class last night and had a blast. She couldn't stop smiling. One thing I learned is Kate will not be coming with us from now on. She was too upset about not being able to dance too. On Friday she will have her own class to go to. Her class will be Jump Bunch a P.E class for toddlers. I think she is gonna love it! I'll try to post some pics for her class too.
My good little listener.
