October Fun

Wow, October was a busy month!  Here's what the Winkelman girls have been up to:

The month started with Avery's 3rd birthday party at Pump-it-Up (of course it was a co-party with her best friend, Graham).




















Avery and Graham braving the enormous slide:

Yummy....pizza!












The birthday couple about to make a wish:


Avery with cousin CJ:

And then there was the Princess FJ Cruiser (from G.G.):


Avery also had her first playdate with her friends from school.  Here she is climbing with her friend Camryn.


She loves to make me nervous by climbing up the rock wall "all by myself!!"

Even baby Kate found a playmate at the park (Major, Maddox's little brother):


Next was our annual visit to the pumpkin patch.  I thought it would be such a great photo opp to have both the girls and all those pumpkins!  Here are the girls when we first arrived:

And here are what the rest of my pictures look like from that day.  Needless to say, it wasn't quite the experience I had in mind.


Then, there are these random times when they're all playing together that make such cute pictures!  I think Coco's even smiling!

Sweet Kate was smiling so big in her princess longhorn shirt (was Avery's) I had to get a picture:

And how quickly things go sour!


Just in case I wasn't really sure she was unhappy, she started the arched-back maneuver:


Kate was a cute little candy corn for Halloween:

And Avery was Cinderella (of course!).  We went trick-or-treating with Graham, the ghost:


And just when I've given up on getting the girls to look at the camera and smile AT THE SAME TIME....they give me the biggest reason of all to smile: pure sweetness.



November will be full of exciting updates, too.  Uncle Chad's wedding is this weekend and Avery is a flower girl!  Check back for more pictures soon!
