Halloween 2009











We had a really fun Halloween this year. Our next door neighbors threw a great dinner, followed by trick-or-treating with a crew of 12 kids. The neighborhood wasn't quite sure where all of the kids came from... Madison refused to wear her bumblebee costume - silly me for thinking I could pick something out without her input - so we settled on a Halloween-themed shirt instead. Trick-or-treating was a big hit this year! Madison understood the concept and loved collecting candy in her pumpkin. The only drawback was the one house where someone was dressed in costume and jumped up to startle the kids....not such a big hit with the little ones. I think she'll forget by next year; but she sure was frightened that night!

Finally - longer hair!




This is a ridiculous thing to write about but I'm thrilled that Madison's hair is finally getting long enough for a ponytail - or even little pigtails. It's usually her daycare teachers that can talk her into holding still long enough for a hairstyle!
