Mason Birthday-Eve

We decide to give Mason his Birthday Slide the night before his Birthday. He loved it (and so did Madalyn). However he really never figured it out. The slide is a bit steep and the steps are a bit to far apart....and there is a bump at the bottom of the slide that really sends his for a leap. We may have to return for a more age appropriate slide.

By the end of the evening he did manage to climb up the slide and walk down the ladder...ugh.

Playing Hide-n-Seek

We had a family game of Hide-n-Seek going. Madalyn was terrified to walk through the house to look for Daddy...probably due to his history of jumping out to scare her. Then when it was Madalyn's turn to hide we would find her standing in a corner or just pressed up against a wall. But the best was finding her under the kitchen towels.

Happy Birthday MiMi...we miss you!

Mimi...we hope you are enjoying your vacation and hope that you are having a wonderful time for your Birthday. We miss you so much and can't wait for you to get home. Here is a little birthday message. Enjoy!

A second take on the video...I thought maybe we could do better...but as usual, just caos.

Trick-er-d-Treat

Madalyn was the mummy for her team in the "toilet paper mummy race" After she was all wrapped in toilet papper she hopped across the room to the finish line.

Mason as usual was a happy camper...smiling along the way.

As you can see from the first picture...there were so many kids there.

Madalyn went bobbing for apples and had a great time. She got one...by the stem...and was so tickled with herself! She kept tabs on her apples all evening and was always asking where it was!

In the morning Madalyn watched a Halloween on ice show and asked for it to be turned off because there were too many of those scary bone people (skeletons).

Then when we were about to head to the party she asked if things got to scary could she hide in my butt. "It's a very safe place"

Madalyn kept asking when we were going "Trick-er-d-Treat"

Church Costume Party

Mason and Madalyn had a great time at the Church Costume Party. Mason was such a trooper following behind the line so he could be in the parade also. Madalyn won the most "country" and Mason won the most "fierce"...although I would have given him the most cuddly.

Cousin Kathy came and once again was an amazing help!

Madalyn on parade!

Watching morning cartoons together...

Church Choir

Madalyn sung in kids Chancel Choir for the first time this morning...it was so cute!

Larriland Pumpkin Patch

Madalyn had so much fun at the pumpkin patch. She was determined to find the biggest pumpkin she could carry...but could not make up her mind.

The hayride was very bumpy.

Madalyn's First Movie

Madalyn was so excited to go to the Movies for the first time! She did not enjoy wearing the 3D glasses but all the candy she got to eat more than made up for it!
