Trick or Treating

MAddie had so much fun going trick or treating with her friends Garrett and Brady this year. After much deliberation she decided to dress up as Minnie Mouse. She was so much braver about going up to the houses on her own this year.

Uncle Adam comes to visit!

Uncle Adam recently came to visit us on his way to Ohio. Maddie loved hanging out with him and can't wait to see him again at Christmas.

Pumpkin carving

Pictures of Maddie getting the seeds out of her pumpkin so Steve can carve it. She picked out a witch pattern and it looked pretty cool after he was done although I stupidly forgot to take a picture of the finished product. It didn't make it until Halloween however. Next year I will remember that carved pumpkins only last about a week!

Pumpkin Patch

We went to a new pumpkin patch in Ozark this year so Maddie could pick out her pumpkin (more expensive but so much more fun than getting it at Wal-Mart). She had a lot of fun going on a hayride, getting her pumpkin, and feeding some animals.

Raking Leaves

Maddie wanted to jump in a big pile of leaves so badly that she started raking our sparse covering of leaves in our yard. Maybe in 10 years our tree will giver her enough leaves to jump in!
