To start our Halloween day off right, we went to IHOP with Ashlyn's friend Adam and his family. IHOP gives out free pancakes to kids 12 and under and they got to decorate their pancakes like pumpkins.
Of course Brinley couldn't wait to eat the candy!
(If you can't tell, she has a mouth full of oreos and candy corns while saying "cheese")
Ashlyn was so proud of her pumpkin pancake!
Every year the gardens put on a little trick-or-treating activity for the kids that live in Village Green.
I sure love my two little fairies!
We also went Trick-or-Treating at the Children's Museum! The girls were so excited!
She was so excited to see Ariel!
Ashlyn is enjoying her preschool classes. This week we had our class Halloween Parties. These are the cute kids in her classes.

The morning (younger)
Ashlyn is involved in so many activities! For Halloween, the parents were able to watch the girls' dance class. Ashlyn did such a great job! She is learning a lot ballet moves.
It was hilarious because they got to dress up for the class and Ashlyn was Elsa so I attempted to do a Elsa hairdo. Well Ashlyn loved it! As we were walking out of the door to class she said to me, "Mom, this is cool!" Well it turns out that she thought it was so cool that she spent 80% of the time admiring herself in the mirror during class. Ha ha. I asked her teachers if that happens each week, luckily the answer was no. They told me that Ashlyn is the best dancer in the class who is always listening and participating
.
She had her first violin concert this week. She did amazing! It has been fun for Derek and I to see Ashlyn love to play the violin.
It was pretty hilarious that during the concert Ashlyn and Hailey (her BFF- red haired girl next to Ashlyn) would have conversations while playing the violin.

We were sad to miss Grandma Martinson's annual soup bowl dinner and pumpkin carving family activity, so we created our own. We invited our good friends Mike and Adri with their kids to join us in our soup and salad dinner followed by pumpkin carving! It was a lot of fun!
We enjoyed our last day at Vala's!
Ashlyn would always like Brinley and I to go down the big slides with her, but she was so brave to go down by herself. She probably went down them fifteen times!

In Ashlyn's words, "The flumongous rocking chair!"
Jenny. Oh my gosh. I was SMEE for halloween too!!
