Life lately...

I absolutely love this time of year.  The older I get, the more I love it.  The only thing better than all of the holiday traditions and events is experiencing them with kids.  Last year Hadley didn't care for Halloween.  This year she was talking about it for weeks.  She decided to be a Fairy Princess, which was perfect because she was recently a flower girl in a wedding so she had the dress and Granny found some fairy wings at the dollar store.  Side note - Hadley has worn this dress for the wedding, her birthday, and Halloween.  Money well spent. Anyways, this year Hadley did not want to stop trick or treating.  She thought it was the coolest thing.  We were out for almost two hours and this girl got so much candy!  She even said "mommy I want to do this all night long." Ha!  It was the best.  Brynlee used her cousin, Evie's Halloween costume and made for the cutest elephant ever!  She was a trooper and loved going up to the doors with Hadley.

We've been spending as much time outdoors as possible lately.  These two are seriously so much fun!

This might be my favorite photo ever.  Pure joy! 

I had Friday afternoon off because my niece was sick.  I picked up Hadley when I got off of work and headed home.  The girls and I spent the rest of the afternoon playing outside.  That evening we went over to my dad's house and attempted to fly Hadley's kite.  It wasn't windy enough, but the girls enjoyed watching ZB running around trying to get that darn kite to stay in the air.

Saturday morning we had breakfast at Granny's and then I took Hads to her first play at The Rose.  We watched The Little Engine that Could.  I couldn't tell if she liked it.  She just started at everything very intrigued, but she has been talking about it quite a bit since then and she says she likes it.  Thumbelina is coming in February so I'm excited to take her to that.

One another note... Hadley was a flower girl in September and we just received this picture.  My heart seriously melted when I saw this.  When did my baby get so big?!
