All Hail, All Hail to Old Klein High

All 3 of the Ellis girls (me and the babies) experienced a first when Rob's boss invited us to the last Klein High School football game of the season. 

Me w/ Lily & Patti

We had a great time watching the football game, the cheerleaders, the marching band, the stand leaders, and the flag girls - TX high school football is big-time - in the (finally) cool November weather. 

No wonder Rob thought my CT high school stadium was tiny--he was comparing it to this!

The babies did great during the game, and Patti and Paul just laughed at the "Oh, your little grandchildren are so sweet!" comments they kept getting.  I told them the surrogate-grandparent spot was wide open if they were interested, but I think they want to focus on getting their own kids out of high school first!  :)

Unfortunately the Bearcats got demolished by Klein Oak Panthers, but the Ellises had a great time and can't wait for next season.

Best Halloween Ever

First, in a continuation of our pumpkin carving tradition, I'd like you to meet the most recent members of the club:

Jack & Jill by day

and by night: Yikes!

The real reason this Halloween was the best one yet is because we finally have little kiddies to dress up and show off!

Our sister-in-law, Laura, gave us these awesome "Thing One and Thing Two" onesie-costumes. 

I thought they looked adorably ghetto-fabulous in their thug skull caps...

...but Rob thought they should look slightly more feminine, so we got some huge white bows to complete the outfit. 

They weren't too thrilled...

...but their father sure was!

I can't wait until next year...the girls will be old enough for costumes AND candy!
