HAppy Halloween!!!!!! Two wild little girls!!!

I promise I did not drug them even though they look it!!!

Wednesday night we went to ZOO BOO. The girls got to dress up and we strolled around at the zoo. They had games and there were a ton of people there dressed up. At the end of our event, we rode the train. Paige, Taylor (cowgirl), and James

Our fun ride on the train. It got a little rough dealing with Anna because she was so restless by this point. The train went so slow. needless to say, it was a long ride.

Anna bobbing for ducks. She picked one right up and won a prize.

Sydney, my little strawberry. She wore her hat all night and just took it in. Anna would not leave her hat on.

Everyone get ready for week full of posting on the blog. We have such a busy week and even though the girls have no clue about Halloween I am going to drag them everywhere to show how cute they are. We had our nine month check up on Friday and got a great report. Anna is 17 pounds and 2 ounces and 29 inches long. Sydney is 16 pounds and 9 ounces and 28 inches long. The doctor said they were going to be petite which is bad news for daddy when they get older. Sydney is no longer anemic which is wonderful and means NO MORE IRON!!!! The girls are growing so fast and developing more everyday. Anna can walk behind her push toy and I swear that child is scared of nothing. She never cries when she falls and just looked at the nurse when she got her flu shot like thats all you got this time? Sydney is finally trying to crawl and blabbering like crazy. The whole way to daycare and home she talks. She loves food and I think its the highlight of her day.

Of course, Anna on the move and mama's picture is shot.

Saturday we went to USM for little tailgaiting or should I say strolling. The girls really enjoyed it, but we weren't able to stay long due to the weather. (it was windy and chilly) They were so cute in their Southern Miss dresses.
Sydney all smiles and check out Anna's lips. This new face she makes is hilarious. Syndey putting on a show. She loves to pose.

Once again, unable to make a cute pictues of them together. They were more interested in the grass.

Chatting with The Hays Family. Adam, Mary, and Jackson were going to the game so we met up for a little chit chat.

Friday night we met The Wambles at Walnut Circle Grill for supper. We enjoyed it so much and the girls were great. We were able to sit outside and listen to the band. Anna and Sydney never made a peep, they love the music and crowd.
Sydney is clapping to the music here. Anna sitting in her highchair. Such a big girl.

Taylor and Sydney in my lap enjoying a little TLC. I love these girls!!!

Dad and Anna. Check out that bottom lip. She is not pouting, I guess it just feels good since she is teething. She does these all of the time now.

Uncle Jake gave the girls these Bass Pro Shop outfits. They were so cute in them. Did I mention that Anna is never still and that it is so hard to get a good picture of the girls together now.

Anna looks so long and skinny in this picture.

My goodness what an awful weekend. Our bad luck started on Wednesday when I picked the girls up from daycare. Anna was running a 102 degree fever and the first thing that crossed my mind was THE FLU. Thankfully it was not the flu, just a sinus infection. Thursday Syd got tubes put in and did great, Anna was feeling better so it was not an awful day. But then Friday arrived. Syd woke up with 102.7 degree fever and Anna had blisters around her mouth. Back to the docter except the ENT would not see us and the pediatrican had no openings available. We ended up in the Family clinic. Syd was diagnosed with a sinus infection and Ann fever blisters from the spike in fever she had. NO ONE SLEPT FRIDAY NIGHT, I MEAN NO ONE!!!!!! Saturday Anna's blisters were still there and she was breaking out on her arms and legs. Family docter thinks its chicken pox. Finally able to see pediatrician at 5:30 Saturday afternoon and the girls were diagnosed with Hand, Foot, and Mouth virus. This is a highly contagious virus, but by the time we knew what it was that period had past. Sunday the girls were much better, but still had difficulty eating because of the ulcers on their throats. Needless to say, WHAT A WEEKEND. I AM SO GLAD ITS OVER!!!


Sydney getting ready for PE tubes. How cute is that gown? She was such a trooper, never made a wimper while waiting for surgery and was only fussy for about 15 minutes after surgery. Just wished we would not have come down with that other mess.
