Happy Halloween!

 
 We've had fun getting ready for Halloween this year.  From the top of her crown to the tips of her purple glitter slippers this little princess is ready for the trick-or-treating to begin!

It wouldn't be Halloween without Mister Jack-o-lantern.  We had fun carving a pumpkin and singing our favorite Halloween songs.

Molly didn't want to leave the pumpkin outside "the kids might take it" (true, but who told her that?). So after testing the candle we brought it back inside to wait for Halloween night.
We made pretzel skeleton bones.  Molly's a pro at dipping the pretzels and eating up any chocolate that drips.
Happy Halloween!

Birthday Weekend

 Molly turned 3 over Labor Day weekend and we spent every last minute of it celebrating!  The temperature has been 100+ so we drove to Camp Verde which is about 10 degrees cooler and visited the Wild Life park.  We saw a tiger show, watched the animals get fed and went on a safari - pretty cool!  Molly loved it!

Molly wanted a "pink and purple purse cake" for her birthday and after blowing out the candle she dug her fingers in and tried to pick up the purse.  She was a bit disappointed that it was only made from frosting.

 We got to feed the giraffe

... and the camel

 Molly got a cash register for her birthday and played with it non-stop. Great idea!

Molly wanted a purple umbrella...

 and a sleeping bag...which she uses together and sleeps in almost every night!
