chicago weekend.

I was so lucky to be able to get away and spend a weekend in Chicago with my husband.

No real plans, just shopping, eating, & sleeping ... and of course golf for him.

We did lots of shopping & good eating.

It was such a beautiful weekend, it was so nice being able to walk everywhere.

We did most of the site seeing too.

This was about the only picture we got of ourselves together.. still cute :)

Probably our last weekend away together before baby 3 gets here.
It was a great one :)

dressing up.

I love Halloween, I have always loved Halloween, but I'm pretty sure when you have kids it just makes things like this so much better. 

The girls had so much fun dressing up for a little Halloween party last night.

Maddie was the perfect little Alice.

She is good at showing off those big blue eyes too.

Josie was the cutest little bunny.

She is always a ham in front of the camera, but somehow pulls it off without even looking at the camera.

She is a professional little hopper too.

I can't wait to take them trick or treating, we will see how it goes... they both are pretty afraid of scary masks & fake (but real looking) skeletons & monsters. I know the candy thing will keep them motivated but I'm sure we will have at least one break down.

i heart fall.

We have one big tree in our front yard..

This week it dropped about 90% of it's pretty yellow leaves.

Which made for a long clean up, but of course lots of fun too.

 plenty of big piles to jump around in..

& I just love all the beautiful colors.

& Maddie's favorite part..
