Where were we?

It's been TOO long since I've blogged. I've had plenty of excuses (we were out of town, I couldn't find the camera cord, there was that 24-hour stomach bug that ended up lasting 8!! days, etc) but really there is no "good" reason (Okay, the stomach flu thing sucked!) besides being lazy. Oh, and I pretty much nap when Adele naps now a days too, but I just started my second trimester with "Little Bean" so hopefully I'll have a sudden boost of energy soon!!!

Anyway, enough with the blabbing, here are the pictures!

One afternoon, Daddy and Adele did a little "Halloween" photo shoot in her princess dress:



"Working" at the pumpkin patch at church:
She got a kick out of the "bumpy" one:

I love this one-the pumpkin was "dented" but the way she's holding it makes it look like she's squeezing it out of shape:

"Helping" me move the little ones:



We took her to the zoo for ZooBoo, but kind of missed the trick-or-treat times. It was chilly, and she was mostly scared of all of the Halloween decorations, but we still managed to have fun!



She finally started warming up to the decorations:


We spent Halloween at Tim and Laura's, and the cousins had a fun weekend filled with mostly...sugar!

Aunt Laura is great about having crafts for the kids at each holiday, and this time was no exception. James and Adele got to decorate sugar cookies (and then the grown-ups ate them all!) Fun!

She took her job pretty seriously:


Showing Bapa Grandma's music boxes:

Getting ready to trick-or-treat/Adele's first sucker:


The kids decided that toys were more fun than candy:

The first "official" trick-or-treat house of 2009:


Adele and James rode in the wagon. Thank goodness Daddy came along to pull them!


This is the sucker that I "found" in Adele's mouth after about the 3rd house of trick-or-treating. I meant to feed her a snack before we left (somehow, I don't think the dum dum at Grandma's counted...) but didn't. At least she chose one of her treats that was peanut free!!!
