In Family Halloween Maddie Jane

Halloween 2018


We had our first big adventure in Huntersville for Halloween. And it did NOT disappoint! Late in the afternoon MJ and I went down the street to play a little with our cousin, Lily, before the festivities began. 


Their playing lasted about 5 minutes, before they deemed in dress up time!! I mean... is this not the cutest doctor and mermaid you've ever seen!? 


This pose. This hair. She wanted to be a mermaid for WEEKS, but it didn't click with her that she needed red hair till about 4 days before. Thankfully Amazon Prime did not let me down at all. (And she has worn this wig about 47 times since. Totally worth the $15)



Last year Maddie Jane pretty much understood the whole Halloween deal, but this year.. it was NEXT level! She talked about it for weeks leading up to it, and she hasn't stopped talking about it since! She would leave each house with stars in her eyes, saying "another one Mommy??"


This picture is her personality to a tee.



It was so so special trick or treating with our family. I absolutely love that these little cousins are going to grow up on the same street and be in the same grade at school. This new NC life is turning out pretty great :)

In Family Friends Halloween

Life Lately


Last Friday night we FINALLY had our double date with Bev and Ben. We had reschedule this date night three times, so we were SO pumped to finally checkout Gunshow with them. 


It is SUCH a cool concept restaurant. They have 4 chefs that create their own dishes -  they come to your table and explain it and you have to say "yes" or "no" right then.. no more chances to try it. It was so much fun and we had some ahhhmazing dishes. BEST couple to do this kind thing with :) 


AJ got hung up at the airport and was running a little behind, but I sure didn't mind having a drink with this one while we waited :) 


Friday night MJ had a fever, but I gave her some motrin and brushed it off as a cold. Well she didn't really sleep allllll night and was pretty pitiful by the time we made it to Sandersville for our family reunion the next day. 


We left the family reunion for her to take a nap with the intent of returning for dinner but... she woke up and was really struggling to breathe. So we ended up in the ER for steroids and breathing treatments. She was such a trooper and Fairview Park hospital in Dublin was AMAZING. 


Sunday morning she was like a new child! The steroids were working and her breathing sounded so much better. So of course we needed to celebrate on the horses at Wal Mart! 


While Maddie Jane napped, AJ and I ran out to Brit and Ben's to finallyyy meet baby Hudson. He is the sweetest baby ever and slept in my arms the entire time. But y'all... the baby fever is REAL. Oh that newborn baby smell.. I wish I could bottle it up.


And before we hit the road back to Atlanta, Grandma and Gigi took Maddie Jane to get some new tennis shoes! Grandma and Maddie's relationship is so special. She is constantly screaming, "NAM-MAMA" !!! 


No temp Monday morning, so she was off to school! And after being at work about an hour, I get a call that her fever is back at 102.5. So off to the pediatrician we went! We did chest xrays to check for pneumonia and that thankfully came back all clear - just more breathing treatments and steroids to help her lungs get strong enough to kick this mess! 


The doc wanted her home to do breathing treatments every four hours (and she was still contagious), so we spent Halloween at home in pajamas. Thankfully Daddy got her a new tiara and tutu to ease the pain! 


We played dress up all day long in between naps and medicine. Those steroids make her cray, but glad she is starting to feel better! 








At least she was sweet to Molly -- she said "Maaee I yuv yew".. her speech is really starting to pick up. I have been worrying so much about it!  


She was being quite the sassafrass by trick or treat time, but we decided to do a few houses. She LOVED it. That little tutu butt was running all over our neighborhood! And we are so thankful Honey is here this week to join in on the festivities! And now I'm just going to dump a ton of pictures, because I can't decide which to post :) 









Alix and her boyfriend came over to trick or treat with us, and we all had big ole bowls of chili mac! It was a really, really great night :)

In Halloween Maddie Jane Molly

Halloween 2016!

All weekend long we stayed home and rested after SO much going in October and SO much coming up in November. We only left the house twice! Once for church and the other to grab some dinner Saturday night. We thought with it being Halloween weekend, we would put Maddie in her UGA cheer costume for Auntie Bev! 



My little blur wouldn't be still! But still so stinkin cute!! 



Bow ripped out per usual.. but all smiles at dinner watching lots of football and the World Series!


On Monday morning before daycare, I tried to snap some pictures of her in the festive outfit Gigi got her! 


This picture cracks me up every time I look at it!! That soft smile! hahaha 


Trying to rip that bow off... 



 Andddd it's gone! 


On the move!! 


This one will have to do... 


After I picked her up from daycare, we had a quick dinner and headed out to Trick of Treat! She is NOT a fan of grass.


She got away FAST!



Best pic of the 400 I took!! 


Attempt at a shot with Shark Molly.. 


And still trying.. 




And giving up! haha! 


Maddie was completely stone faced at the 3 houses we went to.. not a smile or roar! We hung up the trick or treating bucket and walked around the neighborhood enjoying all the decorations and older kids dressed up. AJ commented when we got home that he was sure that was the most low key Halloween we will have for the next 12 or so years! Sure do love getting to do holidays with this family of mine.. now bring on Thanksgiving and Christmas in GEORGIA!!
