Christmas Already?

I know, long time no post. So here's Halloween pictures. I made Meghan a Tinkerbell dress, which she wore to our party, the GS party, to town Halloween day, and trick or treating here (we went to the church parking lot for "trunk or treat", where the church members bring their cars, decorate the open trunks (one lady had real candles!), dress up and hand out candy, and to 3 houses on the street). Jenna was Cinderella (purchased dress), didn't want the purple tulle skirt with it, wore that to our party and in town and then wore a purple cat costume trick or treating (much warmer). They had a lot of fun, but they don't eat most of the candy people give out. We carved a few pumpkins, did one with lite-brite type pegs that get pushed/pounded into the pumpkin - they liked that!
In case anyone hasn't heard, my beaded doll is in a competition, you can read about it here.
Christmas is fast approaching. I have Meghan's school pictures, Jenna's should be here soon hopefully, so they can go out in the Christmas cards. Both girls chose to wear the same shirts they did last year! It makes it really easy to notice the subtle differences in their faces. Last year Meghan's front teeth were growing in, this year it's the next ones over. A little more shopping to do, and that's done. Maybe I'll even have time to do some baking this year! I'll update the kids wish lists on the side after I'm done typing this.
Tomorrow is the last popcorn delivery day for me. I've been dealing with the BSA popcorn sale for 10 years, and I'm stepping down. Ship out the popcorn, collect the money, one more trip to Everett office, and I'm done. No more crazy Sept-Oct-Nov!
Meghan is officially a Daisy Girl Scout, and loving it. The girls and I have gone to the school skate nights, and their first movie night at school (first time seeing a movie with a group of people, and on a big screen - did very well!). Busy, busy, busy!
