Santa's Crayola Christmas Land

Mads and I had a fun day today at Santa's Crayola Christmas Land with our playgroup. There were lots of cute things to climb up and slide down. And Madeline had a good time playing with her playgroup friends.

Here's a better picture of the crayon house.

What to do next???

At the mall where we played they had a neat ginger bread house display with trains.

Just a Little Monkey Bizness....

This past weekend we took our little monkey to Little Monkey Bizness for a little fun. There were tons of things to climb up and slide down. Madeline really likes the bounce house - she wants to "jump, jump, jump".

Me & my little monkey.

Going down the slide...

Swoosh....

Checking everything out.

Maddie Goes To a Birthday Party!

One of Madeline's little friends, Jenna, turned 2 years old and invited Madeline to a party at Gymboree. All of the kids had a great time playing and eating cupcakes. Happy birthday Jenna!

Here they are trying to catch bubbles.

Madeline loves Gymbo the Clown.

Happy, Happy Halloween Everyone!

Happy Halloween everyone! Hope you had a great one! We really had a fun and busy day today. It started with a Tupperware party at 9:30 this morning. Madeline went with me so I could show her off to some of my coworkers from my previous life in corporate America. Next we had a 1st birthday party to attend which was fun being on Halloween and getting to see the kiddo's (and adults) in costume.

This evening Madeline got to trick-or-treat for the first time. She will be 2 years old in 2 months so she didn't really understand the whole concept but we went with some friends who have an older daughter so she taught Madeline the ropes! By the end Madeline was knocking on peoples doors and was all excited about getting these small colorful packages full of something she knows nothing about (candy, shhh don't tell, wink, wink). Anyway she had a ball!


Daddy carved Madeline a jack-o-lantern today. Good job Daddy!

Me in my witch costume - no remarks from the peanut gallery please. ;)

Here I am with the jack-o-lantern.

Of course I couldn't get one with the girls looking towards the camera. This is as good as it gets.
Happy Halloween!!!
