Daddy

I've been a little sick the last few days and don't have much of a voice, so Cesar took over storytime last night.  Love times like this when they hang all over their daddy!! *Excuse the clothes hanging out of their drawers...they pick out their own PJs now and this is what those drawers look like every night after they go through EACH pair deciding what to wear!

First haircut

On Saturday, the girls and I went to aunt Deanna's for the day and had a blast!!  Then, we went straight to the mall to play and hang out (Isabella has a sudden obsession wiht Barnes and Noble and insists we go there every chance we get).  As we were playing, I started talking to Cesar about cutting the girls hair.  Their hair was so damaged and straggly, so we decided to just suck it up and do it right then.  They have been TERRIFIED to have their hair cut, so I was pleasantly surprised when Leah was really brave and said she would go first!  Isabella on the other hand, cried LITERALLY the entire time Leah got hers cut...which took almost 30 minutes because the girl had to get ALL the tangles out of their hair which took FOREVER!  Anyway, at the end of it, they both got good haircuts!  Isabellas had a lot more damage, so she got hers shorter...which everyone but me seems to like because it makes them a little different.  It makes me sad to see them so different, but, I guess it is a good thing :)

 

Weekend fun

Saturday night, the girls got to camp with Cesar...one of their favorite things to do.  The got to wear their NEW Minnie mouse PJs...they are IN LOVE with them :)  It was pretty cold out, but the tent was surprisingly warm and they had nice warm sleeping bags, so they had a lot of fun (and I enjoyed 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep!!!!).

 

The first thing they wanted to do when they woke up was to finish a fall activity we started on Friday.  We went on a little nature walk behind our house and found pretty leaves.  Then, we came home and painted fall colored pictures.  Today, we used glue to glue the pretty leaves on to the pictures. 

And finally, the girls got to wear their Minnie mouse outfits that Grandma Vicki made!  They have been WAITING for three days to wear them!!  They were SO excited when they woke up because they knew today was the day they were allowed to wear them.  They showed EVERYONE we came into contact with today...including everyone at church AND every stranger we saw at walmart!!  They really are SUPER cute outfits!!!!!!

ha ha ha...this cracks me up!

Being Silly before dance class

Halloween...Paredes style

Cesar is 100% against celebrating Halloween.  So, we decided that since the girls wouldn't be trick or treating, we would take them for some fun at Chuck E Cheese.  And....it was SO fun!!  There were very few people there, the staff was super nice and gave us tons of free tickets, we got to hung out with a really fun family from our church, and the girls had a fabulous night!!  Overall, it was a great night (and we avoided the rain that cut everyone else's nights short!).

 

 

 

Although we didn't celebrate Halloween, the girls did want to get some new dress up clothes and they wanted to wear it to school on Friday last week, so we let them!!  They have worn these snow white costumes pretty much everyday except Halloween for the past week and a half!!
