Visiting Santa

Gingerbread castle

This year Maggie and daddy made Cinderella's castle...So pretty

First pedicure

Maggie started biting her nails...painfully short. So we set a goal this fall to quit but she had a hard time with the start of school. We sweetened the deal, if she quit, she could get her nails done. She finally did it and so she went with mommy to get her nails done. She loved the massage part of the pedicure.  It's hard to tell, but she picked out sparkly polish for Christmas :)

Guinea pig love

Gus Gus is so good with Maggie.... he doesn't mind being held like a baby as long as the carrots keep coming.

Walking to school

Maggie made the walk more exciting by throwing snow balls at mommy :)

Weekend with elsie

Maggie had a great weekend when elsie, aunt Casey and mingi came to visit. Maggie and Elsie played lots of baby dolls and my little ponies.

Day off school

...so we went to the zoo.

Raking leaves with daddy

Maggie helped daddy take the leaves in the yard...she mostly jumped and did somersaults while daddy raked.

Date with mom

Maggie took a three and a half hour test for the gifted and talented program...she was beat so she got to go on a lunch date with mom.

Drama performance

Maggie's drama class at school put on Anantsi the spider. She was so excited and confident for the performance.

Fisherman and Fishergirl

On a hike at the arsenal, Brady and Maggie stopped to check the water for fish. They kept spotting them but it's not fishing season so they could only look :)

Halloween

Favorite part of the night is waiting to hand out candy

Pumpkin carving

Maggie put her hand in the pumpkin without screaming this year! She carved a black cat.

Boo at the zoo

We went to boo at the zoo with our neighbors and had a great time.

Never too old to play in a box

Decorating for Halloween

We don't usually decorate for Halloween but this year Maggie really wanted too. She came up with all kinds of ideas to decorate and the only thing we needed to buy was some webs :) it turned out to be really fun to decorate.

Hair dresser

Maggie has started cutting Brady's hair. She even earns a tip when she's done.

Big girl

Maggie wants to wear her towel just like mommy.

Gus Gus

Tonight Gus Gus was in the tub getting some water and needed to be dried off. 

Colorful Colorado

We went for a fall hike to see the aspens changing in the mountains.  It was a wonderful reminder of why we love Colorado so much! 

Green Frogs Soccer Team

Maggie played soccer on the green frogs team this year.  She had fun playing and played aggressively!
