Halloween 2011

I think yesterday was one of the fastest days of my life…I feel like all the days are getting faster and faster.  I wake up..before I know it, it’s 12 and them its 8…not sure where all the hours go in between!

Anyway, we had a really fun Halloween!  Chris got off work early to take Maddox to the Sanger Clinic in Charlotte for another ultrasound on his heart murmur.  He checked out fine and shouldn’t have to go back for 3 more years..thank you Jesus!!

After all our bellys were full…we all  headed out to a nearby neighborhood and did some more trick or treating.  Maddox was hilarious…he tried to go into a few peoples houses so either me or Chris had to start walking him to the doors…he was too much of a handful for Caine!

One house we went to… a lady was handing out glow bracelets instead of candy…Maddox, being 2 and all…says “I want can cane” (candy).  I guess the time has come..I’m probably going to start getting a little bit embarrassed never knowing what could come out of his mouth!

Such a fun night!  I think Maddox is officially a Trick or Treating fan now!

A Play Date!!

Last Wednesday…me and the boys met up with my friend Bonnie and her two cutie pie kids for a play date.  What better place to play in October than the Pumpkin Patch!  It was fun going back..Maddox was happy to revisit all the sliding boards!!
