Hi, this is Elliott posting today. We went to the park today. Mommy and O-ey played tennis and I got to chase the balls. We had fun! Sugar and Daddy went with us too, and we also played different things at the park, not just tennis. We played that we were on a pirate ship. And O-ey went to Savannah's house. Mom and I put together my Scooby Doo puzzle, it was very hard to put together, but we got it done. On Tuesday we have our Thanksgiving Day program and dinner at preschool. We have been practicing our songs. They are very good songs. Today we made cookies and they were very good cookies that we made. Daddy and O-ey took some to share with Great Grandma. Daddy and I took some to share with the neighbors. Since this is Thanksgiving week, I thought I should tell you what I am thankful for. I am thankful for:
Rainbows
Books
Friends - Do you like to have friends? Because I hope you do like to have friends.
My family and my mommy and dad

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Love,
Elliott

This is Olivia writing today - my mom said I had to do the blog. I had a sleepover with my friend Kiley on Friday night. Elliott was spending the night at Grandma Diane & Papa Rogers, so it was just us big girls. We played games and put on a show for my mom and dad. These are some pictures of the show. We built a house and a garage and made stick puppets for our show. We also sold tickets for 25 cents a piece. We dressed up and put on makeup. I think the audience really enjoyed the show.

I had a fabulous time in Louisville at the Service Excellence conference. It was a great conference and we had a ton of fun!

Today we went to the Teddy Bear Tea at UNI. We stopped before the tea to check out the Festival of Trees at the Gallagher Bluedorn.

We have been having the most fabulous weather. This is the only trick or treat that I remember when we didn't have to wear coats over costumes. Today they are forecasting a high of 75. I have to stop and remind myself that it is indeed November, and sooner rather than later, it will be time to pay the piper.

In other news (not that the weather is really news), Elliott grew half an inch. It seems like it literally happens overnight. We've been measuring her frequently, and she's stuck to the line we marked in July. This morning I looked at her all sleepy headed and thought, that nightgown didn't used to be that short on her. So in to the measurer we went...

Speaking of Elliott - she was the master trick or treater. She had it down to a science. Trick or treat. Thank you. Happy Halloween. It really took some concentration on her part - she was quite the serious trick or treater. It was adorable. At each door she had her job to do and she was going to make sure that she did all three parts of it.

Olivia went for a few blocks with Chris, and then she was happy to come home and hand out candy to the trick or treaters.
