Halloween houses

The girls were excited to meet Sadie, finally, and we even got to watch her for a little while Friday night.  

(Ava has a mouth full of something.)

She was very feisty!

Harper texted me during the week asking if they could make Halloween houses this weekend.  Since it's so close to Halloween, only 42 days, I couldn't say no.

It was a fun project, got a little messy.  Ava made her house spooky, while Harper's was a little less so.

After being cooped inside all week because of the smoke, they were anxious to play outside, they played in their "secret hideout" over in the Dolan's hedge, using loppers to clear it out some.  There were too many bees near the play fort so that was out.  

This morning they had a "tonic" store in their fort and mixed up all sorts of potions,

even one that was poison!

Papa asked for a tonic to make him grow taller.  Ava had him dip his finger in one, except he dipped it twice, and she said that could negate the results.   When Daddy came to get them, he visited the store and asked for cure for his knee pain, Harper had some "invisible" tonic that she said might make the pain disappear, and had him rub some on his knee. 

 

We also had some fun visits on Saturday with Emmy and Josie and also Will and Kalyn.
