A Really late Halloween Post

We didn't do much for Halloween, but stayed home at our new house and passed out candy to the neighborhood kids. It was fun to see all the costumes and we even met some of the neighbors with small kiddos. Although, Maddie already got to dress up like a Ladybug, I couldn't pass up this adorable cow costume since cows are still our favorite!!



Apparently cows like grass and flower petals.


Since Maddie knows that cows don't belong in the city, but at the ranch, she decided to load up and try to head that way.


She settled for jammies and handing out candy. She did get a kick out of all those people coming to the door.

Catching Up

We've had a lot going on these days! First, a move into our new house in S.A.! Yeah!! Then, in the middle of all that, we went to Riviera for a weekend to catch up with some friends. It was great, but Maddie decided to wake up one morning at 5am, then the next morning at 4:30am. Not cool at all.





In my current favorite outfit!


Then, home to unpack and repack our bags for a trip to Nashville to see the fam! Here are John and Maddie on the plane; you can almost feel the excitement. :) We had a lot of fun seeing Gigi and Papa's new house and visiting with the cousins!!







At the house practicing her Trick or Treat technique.





We went to the Peekaboo Playhouse in Hendersonville. It was great. They had costumes, toys, slides, etc. It was a great place to play for a few hours.



Maddie was really into the cars.








Here it looks like Skye is being attacked by the firehouse dog. Too funny to pass up.



Here, River has tamed the beast!



Gigi got all the girls matching Halloween costumes, so we wanted to get them in a photo all together. River and Skye are 3, Maddie 1; I'm not sure why we thought it would work. I'll let the out-takes speak for themselves. Looking back on them; it was hilarious.

First, we thought in this little wagon filled with straw at the pumpkin patch would be the perfect place. Maddie disagreed.

She decided to go straight to picking out pumpkins. She though this one was nice.

So then we thought, maybe in front of this trailer....

Us: Skye, get in the picture.

Us: Good job, just not directly in front of River.

Okay girls, look over here and smile!

Then we thought, maybe a few on the front steps of the house.....


Skye: Uh, girls? I think they said the front step, not the driveway.

Us: Okay girls, everyone over here and smile!


River and Skye: We're never going to get this done!


Us: You're right.....just the two of you, smile! Got it!
