Surprise 40th Birthday Party

for our cousin Amy

 my crazy crew!

 She had no idea!

 Ryan playing peek-a-boo with Caroline

 Chaos out in the hall!

 The kids (and adults) had fun with the photo props

 

Good times had by all!

This week at preschool...

Alfred firefighters came to Caroline's school on Tuesday, but it's all about the truck!

 On Thursday, she went to school all purple

and brought home a gorilla!  Each week they get a bag with a stuffed animal and book and she was so excited to get a gorilla.  We walk through the door and she says, "welcome to my home, gorilla."

 This morning was school picture day

Fall pictures

It's been a while since I got out my big camera...

 She finds it way too funny when she stands up!

We took more pictures when Charlotte got home from school...

 and of course there was a outfit change because you can't expect a 3 year old to stay clean all day long!

Leaves!

 I love this plaid shirt I scored at Goodwill.  All that's missing is a cowgirl hat!

Fryeburg Fair

 We saw lots of animals, but Caroline loved it when she could pet them.

 

 

 We ran into one of Charlotte's friends from school, Anthony.

Beautiful Fall weather, yummy food, animals, and rides...we love the fair!
