Happy 2nd Halloween

Roasting smores with sucker in her mouth.

Always best to be prepared.

She was buzzed off sugar and dancing

madly to a skeleton singing

Living La Vida Loca

Kael showing Maddie the Trick-or-Treating Ropes

The cooler costume and bag o' treats from school

Our works of art. She took right to it since it's like

Mr. Potato head only with pumpkins

My attempt at collaging. I've been trying to get the

one big with 3 small for months - but am unsuccessful.

Any tips?

2nd picture down from the left is Danny.

You can't tell - but his hair is pretty red.

Maddie refers to him as her boyfriend.

He's the one that stands on tables and spits.

She's clearly going for the "bad boys".

Lower right is Sydney.

Regretably Emma wasn't there this day :(

9 faces of Maddie

Upper left is her telling me she wants one more M&M.

It has begun!

A year ago it was more our thing to dress her up and drag her out - I admit it. This year...just the opposite. She has been planning, discussing and organizing the whole thing. Regretably the Barney outfit was too hot - did that hold her back - heck no! She wore it the first half of trick or treating and then did a costume change for extra drama. Ta Dah! A fairy princess. Bet ya didn't know Barney could do that!

So...the day began bright and early with Mom helping with the rascals at school for cookie decorating and fun outside. Then, home to prepare - and then a night with the family trick-or-treating and having fun at a neighborhood party that included a hayride, food, making smores, music, jumper (she still is terrified of these and won't get in), and music. She's asleep on the floor right now - the day after. I'll be joining her soon!
