Buenos Noches from Argentina!

It may take going all the way to Argentina to get the "me" time necessary to update my blog... but nonetheless, I'm finally able to share a few pictures of the fun we've been having this month! I'm in Buenos Aires this week on a business trip. Have to admit that I'm enjoying the few moments of quiet (which are rare in my world) and the nice long nap that I had this afternoon, but thankful for iChat which allows me to blow kisses to my girls and tell them goodnight from afar! I'm proud (although a bit embarrassed) to say that I finally finished the book that I started on my last business trip back in April and am already 77 pages into a new book ("Eat, Pray, Love"... a good one so far). Not sure that I'm ready for the neighborhood book club yet, but it's definitely progress!

October has been a busy and fun month at our house! Claire went to her first real concert to see Carrie Underwood (a b-day gift from Aunt Lindsey). She had such a great time and is still constantly talking about it and singing Carrie songs! We managed to make an annual stop by the local pumpkin patch and Claire has a costume party and other Halloween festivities lined up for the next couple of weekends. She found the "perfect" costume this year... she is going to be a bride! It's no surprise that she's had weddings on the brain this year, so when she saw the wedding dress costume... she was in love! It's got a hoop in the bottom to make it stand out, long veil and all. And sweet Kate is going to be a butterfly! It may look familiar since it happens to be the same costume that Claire wore when she was that age, but it's so cute and comfy that I just had to use it again. Plus, I enjoy having pictures of them wearing the same things at the same age. It's fun to see how much they do or don't look alike (and then generally DO)!

Ready to see Carrie!

What happened to my little baby girl?

Loved the binoculars

Pumpkin patch!

Little pumpkin's growing up too

And this one thinks she's ready for the runway!
