Andrea came to visit...

My little sister Andrea came to visit us on Thursday. We went to Dirty Dancing that night at The Cadillac Palace Theatre. I LOVED IT!! It was so fun to sing the music. I have that show memorised! Billy (Johnny's cousin that carries a watermelon with Baby) had the most amazing voice! It made the show 100 times better. I was a little worried that the play was going to be a little too risky. But to my surprise it was great! Of course the end dance made the show! My heart raced through the whole thing!!!
We stayed the night in Chicago so I could show Andrea around the next day. Boy does that girl like to shop! We found her so many killer deals on the cutest stuff. She has a funky style which is perfect for the city shopping.
Saturday we took Jellybean to Johansen Farm to pick out her first pumpkin. It was so cold! The wind here makes it 10 degrees colder. They had a petting zoo, pony rides, hay rides, and a blow up playground. We decided not to stay for all the fun because Jellybean was shivering. I was a little disappointed but I'm sure she will enjoy it so much more when she is a little older. We will definitely take her next year!

Looks and sounds like you guys had a great time. I really want to take my boys to the pumpkin patch. The only problem is that it is only open for a few hours on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday's I work and Sunday is church. Oh well maybe another year.

Looks like you guys are having fun- I'm sad I am missing it :( Dirty Dancing sounds like it was awesome and of course the end dance stole the show, how could it not?

Something about city shopping reminds me of Andrea. No surprise to me that she was loving it. Jellybean looks so cute at the Pumpkin patch, I lover her new coat. I am glad Chris got to stay in town this weekend for once, I bet it was so nice.

miss you guys

LOVE those pages! Autumn is such a fun season, isn't it!?

I might be singing "Now I...had...the time of my li-i-i-fe" all night, however. So I know who to blame. I'm glad you girls had fun.

And Andrea gets an even brighter sparkle in her eye than I do when anywhere near a clearance rack! I hope your feet recovered. :)
