Halloween and the Zoo

She was excited about the twizzlers she got. I think she was trying to eat it out of the wrapper. I got this look at the perfect time. It is so funny. I laugh so hard every time I look at it.













She didnt know what to think about this













Look how excited she is about the zoo!

Devy's first dum dum. She LOVED it almost too much.













Devy and I on the zoo train. Most of the animals were already put away for the winter so we only saw otters, lions, tigers, and llamas












The otters













There was a mix and mingle in our apartment complex. Devy got a little to friendly with the markers; by the end she had green all over her face. I guess she thought they tasted good.












All the kids that we went with.

New experiences and suprises

So, Devy loves to get into the cupboards and take EVERYTHING out. So I usually restock the shelves 2 or three times a day. It used to get really frustrated but this was just so amazing that I couldn't get mad. I had to take a picture.

She was only 13 months when she did this. I was cleaning the living room and Devy had been really quiet; because of this I knew I should go looking for her. I walked into the kitchen to see the damage and this is what I saw. I couldn't believe my eyes that she was stacking cans. It was crazy! I think I should get her some building blocks.

WICKED!!

Erica and Chelsea SO excited for Wicked to start

The girls left to right: Erica, Kristine, Chelsea, Me, and Carrie ( Sorry if I spelt names wrong). This was a total blast! I was sitting on the edge of my seat a few times and my eyes did have some tears in them a couple of times too... You just have to appreciate pure talent.

Kristine made these cute little "witches brooms" full of caramel popcorn! It was soo cute and soo good! Yes I did eat it all in one day! I couldnt help it. One day I hope to be as creative.

Erica, Chelsea, Kristine, and me. I dont know where Carrie is. We were on the second to last row, but it was still great and so fun!

Yeah for girls nights!! Lion King in January anyone??

Walks in the Fall

There are a few other girls that I go for walks with just about every day. We like to do it because we get some girl talk and exercise. Its fun.

Devy loves it and we both enjoy getting outside.
