Halloween 2008

Trick or Treat, smell my feet, give me something good to eat.. and throw in a laffy taffy for my mom..

Sofia & Jillian took a rest on the front porch of someone's house..

This man sits in his tree every year and waits for unsuspecting trick-or-treaters to notice him.. when you flash a light (or camera) on him and see his Joker face it is CREEPY! soooo CREEPY!!

Sofia and Jillian saw blinking eyes under the porch of a house.. they held hands and walked closer to investigate..

Conner made his Halloween debut as a cow.. possibly a 'don't eat meat' statement from Vanessa?!!

Off to the parade.. I thought that we were going to watch it, but turns out WE were in it.. WE WERE THE PARADE!!! Hysterical..

Pre-party.. what a Princess (nice walking shoes, btw)..

Sofia gives this day a thumbs up..

Alexa from the Diamond Castle wishes she looked this good!

Gymnastics Parade

Sofia and Emily get ready for the parade at Gymnastics school..

Emily as Ariel.. she kept this wig on for the entire class.. that's dedication

James as WALL-E

Practice makes perfect, Halloween here we come

I love her hair like this.. I hope she chooses this one instead of the one below...

For Halloween, Sofia will be dressing up as

a) Transvestite

b) a girl with bad roots

c) Princess Alexa

d) a drunk

The perfect day

We went to the mall- shopped, had lunch and then saw HSM3.. loved it. Sofia gives it a "good burger". She prefers to sit in her stroller at the movie theater b/c she can't hold the seat down- her legs kept flying up!

Aunt Edna visits again...

Tali was not happy with me after I took this picture.. sorry!

Birthday Boy

Sofia wouldn't wear a jacket so we compromised and she wore a hat.. she can barely turn her head in this get-up- what a good choice, Sofia

Matthew A. having fun on the swingset

Gia and Gagi go to school

Gia Annie & Gagi took Sofia to lunch after school.. PIZZA!

Sofia showed Grandma the different jobs she has at school.. on this day Sofia was the "Months of the Year" girl

"A sukkah is a temporary dwelling that Jews use during the holiday of Sukkot"

When we showed up at school Sofia was playing outside in the sandbox.. her pants were falling down! Thankfully one of the teachers noticed b/c we were too busy taking pictures!!

Sofia's 1st Treasure Hide

Did you have fun, Sofia?

The hiding spot.. Sofia and daddy hid the treasure tonight.. who will find it?

The lucky finder of this Treasure gets a brand new MatchBox car.. woohoo!

Sofia and Andy did their 1st GeoCache Treasure Hunt/Hide.. tonight they hid, tomorrow they will find..

Columbus Day playdate..

We spent the day at Marie's house.. all was going great (as you can see in the picture).. until Sofia didn't want to play "dance party".. you would think she was asked to play "jump off a bridge".. poor kid was HYSTERICAL.. i hope we're invited to play again someday, despite the lunacy
