*Here's Maddie as Cinderella. She was so excited to put on this fancy dress! After I got her dressed and put on some make up (just like mommy!) she looked in the mirror and said in disbelief -- "I can't believe I'm a real princess." It was so cute.

And here we are ready to trick-or-treat. We only went to about a dozen houses, but she got enough candy to last her a month! We always go trick-or-treating in my Mom's neighborhood and all the neighbors (many of them grandparents also) love to give the kids *way* too many treats. My Mom made us a big pot of chili and all my sisters, their husbands and kids were there. It was a lot of fun. I never thought that I would move back to Joliet, but now that I have, I really love being able to get together with my family for things like this.
Oh yeah, I have been knitting too. More on that soon! Now stop sitting here reading this and. . .


She's a real princess indeed! Very cute!

Too too cute! I never had a daughter, just sons (although they were pretty cute too), so I'm a little jealous. I work for a pediatric dentist and we encouraged the kids to come in their costumes this week. We had a few princesses and they were my favorite!

What a sweetie ! My littlest one (Rowan, she's just 2) started out as a witch but had a tantrum at her Grandpa's as it was "too itchy", did most of her Halloween partying & guising (that's Scottish for Trick or Treating !) in her vest and pants, before opting to be a fairy for the final visit of the night to her other grandparents. I was exhausted. But they had a ball ;0)
