The Great Pumpkin

Haven and her Kindergarten class went to the pumpkin patch last Friday. I was able to bring the other two sisters along so I could be a part of her fun day of pumpkin decorating and jump house bouncing. I love the fall...

Trick or Treat!

These are the Speer girls' Halloween costumes this year. Haven wanted to be a cheerleader (Thank you Costco), Parker a doggie (Thank you Nana for the most awesome pink poodle costume out there!) and Rowyn is the pink octopus (Haven's first Halloween costume that I saved). Maybe one of these Halloweens we will all coordinate with a fun and cute theme, but since my girls are so diverse in their personalities and interests, that may have to wait until we can all decide on something. May you have a fun and safe Halloween!

ATTACK ATTACK ATACK... Get back, Get Back, Get Back

I am playing catch up a bit, but wanted to showcase our little soccer player! Haven is loving the sport and she has surprised us with some real athletic potential! Based on her interests, we were thinking that she would only want to do dance and stay in tu-tus for her entire young adult life. But this girl is quick and has some serious skillz... much to her dad's delight! Will see where this will take us. For now, it is so fun to watch her play and I have become that "soccer mom" screaming encouragement (and some directions) on the sidelines.

Say, "CHEESE!"

I decided to have a friend take some family pictures in preparation for Christmas card season! Sure glad I took the time to gather coordinating outfits (fyi - got the girls' dresses at Naartjie) and comb some hair. You will most likely see the family portrait in your mailbox come December. Oh, and the one of me is for my community blogger position at BFItSanDiego.com. I get to blog about ideas/activities on how to keep our kids active and happy here in San Diego. I could not say no to such a fun opportunity! Plus, I have another outlet to use that side of my brain that often is neglected due to the demands of mothering.

REAL Princesses!

Yes, here we are at Disneyland with all the princesses we could track down. We waited an hour to see three of them. I loved being at Disneyland with all my girls and Aunt Renee - who flew down for a few days. It was all decorated for Halloween and fall. But the weather was not cool and crisp - it was 92 degrees. Thankfully we found lots of shade, kept hydrated and on the move as much as we can - avoiding the really long lines. Do you know their is an app for that? =0)

We did purchase passes thanks to the money I made at a Family Swap Meet. So, if you ever want to join us, let me know!
