EXCITING THINGS!

Next weekend I will be here:

It's become an annual event among the Pabst girls. All five sisters and my Mom will be attending and I seriously can't wait! We'll be alone (meaning kid/husband free) all weekend in a hotel in Salt Lake with pedicures, girl talk, chocolate, and plenty of giggles. If you haven't been to a Time Out...you seriously need to go! The money is worth it for a weekend of physical, emotional, and spiritual rejuvenation. SO WORTH IT!

Also...we will be getting some photos taken. We've never had pictures taken of just the girls and I'm pretty excited about it although a bit nervous? I am getting a little bigger pregnancy-wise and am stressing about what to wear to look pregnant and not fat. Trivial I know but it's still a major stressor for me. I'm trying to talk Terrence into letting me buy a super adorable scarf I found. I'll update you on my success rate later, but so far it's not going well..... ha ha. I'm sure you will all agree that this:

is completely worth the $18 that it costs right? I mean...it will always fit. I'll never grow out of it...and plus it's just dang cute! My friend Mandi (my mom's best friend from high schools daughter) is going to be our photographer. Check her out...she's pretty amazingly talented!

I will try to be a good girl and take my camera with me to our weekend so I can share pictures with you all. Meanwhile...I have to make it through the next week of anticipation!

Halloween 1, 2, & 3

1- "The Belly"

I have never documented a pregnancy with pictures before, so this is a scary thing for me, but I figured that since I am 20 weeks as of last Thurday, I should probably take a picture. I look so much bigger than I thought I was, but maybe that explains the backaches? Since week 16 I have just shot out. This boy is gonna be huge! ha ha

2. "The Pumpkins"

We finally carved pumpkins last week and the girls had lots of fun.

Madison loved the mess, but as usual, Kylie had a whole roll of paper towels close by to wipe her hands on between grabs of pumpkin goo.

Terrence snuck this picture of me during the carving process.
Madisons finished pumpkin
And Kylie's. This was our first try using one of those paper layout stencils. Better luck next year?

3- "The Costumes"

We bought Kylie's costume to be Rapunzel, but after two weeks of the wig sitting in a box after this pictures was taken, it myseriously became a tangled mess. I got a lot of "not me's" when I asked what happened to it. So...we had to adapt Kylie's costume into this:


A glittery snow princess? of some sort???

I did enjoy doing the make-up. I'm so not a scary costume type of person. Glad my girls are willing to comply with my wishes.

Our little Madison was a ladybug. I think she had to have been the cutest one around. But I am a little biased...

And Avaree Mae was a bunny rabbit. She didn't do much trick-or-treating due to the cold and the rain, but she looked dang cute none the less. She is smiling so much now. I wish I could catch one on film, but she is too quick for me. she has also discovered her hands lately. I love watching her trying to figure out how to use them and move them. She goes cross-eyes in concentration. She's so adorable!
Avaree and the beautiful Momma Andrea ready to go out.
