Holy Moly!

I havent' blogged in quite some time...and I have quite a bit to catch up on!  So let's see...I never posted anything for Halloween (geeze)...

                        Madison and Daddy cleaning out the pumpkins...she thought it was 'yucky'!

                                                                    Sweet pumpkin hands
Unfortunately I didn't take any picture of the carved pumpkins...but they weren't anything fantastic this year :)

We trick-or-treated in Granite Bay with Gil's parents and my mom (Donna was not feeling well that day) and we had a great time!  The weather was so nice...Madison didn't even need a sweater or anything.

     Sofia went as a bumble bee...pretty much the cutest one you have ever seen...right?

                        Madison was Belle, from Beauty and the Beast (one of her favorite movies)

                   And a rare photo opp...the whole family...Mommy, Daddy, Sofia and Madison...
                                                        before we went trick-or-treating.

                                      Madison at her last house...all by herself...such a BIG girl!

     She made out like a bandit!

Well Halloween was a complete success!  The girls had a great time and we all enjoyed watching Madison run around with her bag of candy!  After Halloween Madison thought it should be a daily thing to wear a costume...here she is in last years costume...

We also went to the Sacramento Zoo in October.  It was the girls first time and Grandma Laurene and Grandma Donna came with us!  We saw flamingos, monkeys, giraffes and lots of other creatures!  The lions were sleeping so there was only one out while we were there.
