LAS PALETAS POPSICLES!

A visit to Sevier Park just wouldn't be complete without a stroll over to Las Palestas Popsicle Shop just across the street on 12th Avenue South. They're just soooo yummy! They're all-natural and some of the flavors include cantaloupe, avocado, coconut, kiwi, lime and honey-dew just to name a few. This was one of those weird 80-degree November days. Pictured from L to R are Jack Roberts, Jonathon McDevitt, Sydney, Mack Calvert, Sarah and Maddie Calvert. (At 6 months old, Maddie's been known to wolf down 2 popsicles all on her own!)

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!


Halloween was a busy night for Sydney and Sarah. We partied with our playgroup pals in Hillsboro Village from 4:30 to 6:00. The girls pigged-out on pizza, popcorn and chocolate chip cookies. YUM! As pictured, Sarah was particulary interested in Maddie Calvert's Snow White wig.





Sydney was never without a slice of pizza in one hand and a cookie in the other. Jonathon McDevitt was her partner-in-crime for the moment.







I managed to get one decent picture of the sisters before their costumes were dripping with candy and other messy treats.














Then, it was back to Wesley Court for some trick-or-treating with the neighborhood kids. Jack Nelson checks out the wagon. Below, Lucy and Charlotte Mays ring some doorbells with Sarah and Syd. Sydney seemed to think she was supposed to actually walk inside the houses when they'd open the door. She eventually caught on to the whole trick-or-treat thing. Believe it or not, the girls had baths and were in bed by 8:45! Now, if Sydney can just forget all about her pumpkin full of candy!

GREEN HILLS FIRE STATION

Well, at least now, Sydney will know where the fire trucks are coming from the next time she pulls the fire drill at school.

The girls thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the fire station. The firemen were so friendly while giving us a tour of the fire house. They even took us out back and turned on the big hoses and sprayed them in the air. The kids thought that was so cool. Once Sydney saw the door open to the truck it was impossible to get her down. She just wanted to remain in the driver's seat of the fire truck the entire time.


They even let the kids get inside the truck. Here are Sydney and Sarah with their friend Mack.
