School Days

Yes, I know, adorable. These light little smiles are so very Sadie. She is all smiles and sweetness until you try to get her to be all smiles and sweetness, then she makes these little smiles. I love it. My favoritw is the one with the book. She totally has my "are you going to get this over with or what?" face that I make. But, the one on the block is the cutest. I love this little girl, she just melts my heart. So I figured if I post these school photos, I have to post a "real" photo...

As I said, I love this little girl. That smile just melts me. I am getting very excited about Thanksgiving coming up, eating lots of yummy foods and spending time with family!! I have been cruising the "black Friday" sales ads for a new camera but so far, I haven't found anything worth buying. My problem is I want a DSLR and I am probably a little (ok, a lot) out of my price range. Who knows, I am the queen of good deals (can you say 2 dresses and 2 shirts for $8.50) so maybe I can surprise even myself this holiday season!! We were at Publix this evening and I saw kits for making ginger bread houses and ginger bread men!! I will definately be picking those up in the next week or two. That will be a fun thing to do with Sadie. We will also be making cake cookies and rice crispy treats! Yummy! I LOVE the holidays!

Trick or treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat!

Of course Poppa and Grandma Carrie's house was a sure hit!

They looked so adorable!

Ciara showed Sadie how it was done!

I think she got the hang of it pretty quick!

"I got more candy mommy!!"

But let's not forget the fun party at school on Halloween! Sadie loved her Halloween dress and kitty ears are always fun- even after Halloween!

Time to run all that sugar off at the park!

Sadie had an awesome time at school and trick-or-treating. They had a big party at school and Sadie got to eat lots of fun stuff that she normally doesn't get! They painted their pumpkins, colored and had a great time. Later we met Aunt Kiki, Uncle Benny and Ciara in in my Dad's neighborhood for some trick-or-treating. This was Sadie's first year and I wasn't sure how she would like it. I was thankful that Ciara was there too, I really feel like she was a great encouragement to Sadie and they seemed to have a lot of fun together. They both looked adorable. Ciara was a sweet angel and Sadie was a tap dancer/ballerina. She wore my first recital costume (thanks mom, for saving it). It was neat to see her in it. Sadie walked the whole time, well until right at the end. I was so happy that she had such a great time! I am excited that the fall season is under way. I love Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukkah. I just love the smells and the coziness of the holidays. Adam and I always make hot cocoa and sit outside. I love to drive around and look at Christmas lights (yes, I am a dork). This year I think will be even more fun because we can do gingerbread houses and holiday cookies. I am excited to see her little face light up at all of the excitement of the season! We have been talking about what to get Sadie for both holidays. I asked her what she wanted and she keeps saying "a kitty and a doggy"...I don't think that Santa will be dropping either of those off at our house!! So, I guess we'll have to see what else she might want...time to get creative!
