Better Late Than Never

Ok, so I know that Thanksgiving just passed. I was hoping to get these Halloween pics posted before Thanksgiving, but it just didn't happen. I still wanted to share them with you, though, because our little flower was too adorable not to show off!!

This pic was actually taken when Grandma was

babysitting after her birthday. Madilyn went to

help Grandma pick out a good pumpkin!

It's a bit frustrating to try and pick up the

pumpkins when they're as big as you are!

Here we are trying on our costume for the first time.

It was close to bedtime, though, and Madilyn wasn't exactly

thrilled with that thing on her head! (The costume was also a

tad bit big for her, so I exchanged it for a smaller size later)

How cute is this?! Madilyn's little friend, Emma, at

daycare was a skunk! The two of them made quite the pair!

(I wanted a picture of them by themselves, but when

Mommy showed up that afternoon, Madilyn was a bit too

attached to leave my side for a picture...little stinker!)

Oh yeah...I forgot to mention...when my sister was in town,

she thought she'd try and look as cute as Madilyn.

It was a nice effort, but I don't think it worked out!

Here's our little flower trick-or-treating up at Mommy's office

(Nice color scheme, huh?!) At first, she just thought it was a

fashion show, so she was walking/waddling around showing

off to everyone without her bag. She figured out was the

real prize was after a little bit, though :)

Jackpot! There's candy in here!!!

I told you she figured it out! One of my co-workers held
a bowl out for her to get a piece of candy, and Madilyn
decided she needed the WHOLE bowl instead!!

That evening, we did just a little bit of trick-or-treating
at a few people's house that we knew. When we stopped off
at Papa's house, he had $5.00 for her rather than candy!
I told him that I wanted to dress up in a costume
if he was handing out cash!!!

Here's our chunky little flower with her cousins Bailey
(dressed up as a hunter) and Elyse (the nurse), with
Bailey & Elyse's next door neighbors. We actually went in
and visited with them for a little while b/c they
whole treat bags for the girls!

Is that pitiful or what?! How much candy
does one little girl think she needs?!

Our little flower seems to be wilting just a tad

(I'm pretty sure it was passed bedtime!)

Yeah! A dog! That will solve life's problems!!

No commentary needed...just

two adorable little trick-or-treaters :)

I wasn't able to capture it, but just imagine a one-yr-old

who is learning to walk on her own trying to get across these

hard word floors in those little flower slippers! It was

hilarious! She was sliding all over the place. Amazingly enough,

Madilyn has pretty good balance...it just looked like she was ice skating!
