Fall Fun

I think fall has finally arrived in Houston!!  We welcomed cooler weather this weekend and daddy was intent on having his little girl help with yard work.  A trip to Home Depot led us to this small rake.  Daddy trimmed off the long handle and the little girl's wish of a pink rake was easily fixed with a can of pink spray paint.  She was so excited to help daddy rake leaves!
Hard at work!

 


She took her job very seriously!
 We made an attempt to go to the zoo this morning for the annual Zoo Boo festivities.  Right as we were making our final approach to the zoo, Madeline got sick and threw up all over her costume.  So, needless to say, we ventured back home.  After some snuggle time on the couch, a long nap and a load of laundry, she was back to her spunky self and still askingto go to the zoo.  Luckily we still had time.  The Zoo Boo festivities were over, but she still had fun parading through the zoo in her butterfly costume.
Posing in front of her favorite....the elephants!
 

"I am the butterfly!"
Doing the butterfly dance in the open grass!
She was very full of energy, so apparently her morning 'bug' was very short lived!



Posing with the rhinos!  This is her meerkat look!

She was good friends with the monkey today!

Silly butterfly girl


This is a big one!

Pumpkin carving time!  
She wasn't too keen on getting her hands dirty, and preferred using the spoon to dig out the pumpkin guts!




Daddy carved a great monster pumpkin (or silly face pumpkin, as Madeline called it), but Madeline was asleep by the time it was finished.  You'll have to stay tuned to our Halloween post to see pictures!
