october visitors, part two...

okay, we're back for round two of our fall visitors!! next up is SELT - yay! we had a great time during their visit. luke and i really had fun playing with the girls in the back yard. here's lauren pushing me in the swing and taylor walking around with luke - so sweet!

and here are the four of us up in the playhouse...

we also went to visit space center houston, the visitor center for nasa, while they were here. we all really enjoyed our time there and then went to visit kemah afterwards. they have rides and games there, and my very favorite thing was getting to ride a train - yahoo!!! here's me waiting in line with aunt elaina, pointing out the train because i am so excited! you'll notice me in a winter hat (and clothes, for once!) because it was actually quite chilly some of the days they were here - sorry SELT!

we didn't have a lot of pictures from their weekend, but we had so much fun and were really glad they came to visit over their fall break. thank you SELT! can't wait to see you again at Christmas in Indiana along with the rest of the gang. :)

soon after they left, it was halloween! i was excited to be a train conductor, but luke stole the show in a tiger costume aunt elaina made a long time ago, which has been worn by several cousins - cute!! momma wasn't sure if he'd actually wear it, but he did and really seemed to like it - check out that grin!

here's a really bad picture of me and luke in our costumes inside, which i'm only including so you can see the full get-ups (luke did not wear the hat long at all)...

and we're off...

we just went around on a few streets in our neighborhood and managed to rack up some major candy in a short amount of time. this was even my first trick-or-treating experience, and i had a lot of fun and was very polite and grateful. i did not like or understand the scary-looking decorations that some people had up (neither does momma), but we by-passed those houses and had a great time in our dress-up clothes loading up on sugar and chocolate. i'm in favor of halloween and am already talking about what i'd like to be next year. :)

we still have one more round of visitor posts coming up (arguably the most important visitor, some would say)... so check back again soon - bye!!!!!!!!! :)
