On Wednesday night we had dinner with John and Shirley Flake and their two girls-Caroline and Julia. John works with Mike at LSU. After dinner we took the girls to LSU for some trick or treating at the fraternity and sorority houses. These are some pics of Maddie, Caroline, and Julia trick or treating. Maddie really enjoyed posing with the Golden Girls.

Carnival
This weekend we went to Alabama to visit Papa and Granny. Mike, his brother, and his Dad went to see the Alabama/Tennessee game-ROLL TIDE! Granny took Maddie and I to a school carnival. Maddie did not like the loud noises that the rides made so she rode the carousel 5 times. She did win some fabulous prizes- a stuffed animal butterfly and dolphin. We all know she needs more stuffed animals for her bed. Despite the loud noises we had a great time. After the carnival Granny treated us to a yummy lunch at Ruby Tuesday's. Thanks Granny.

Boo at the Zoo
We took Maddie to Boo at the zoo on Saturday. She didn't want to wear her costume because she wanted everyone to see her 'pattern'. She picked out her outfit for the day. I have to admit she has a style of her own. She did enjoy seeing the animals but getting the candy was far better. One of the sponsors was a dentist office so she got a new toothbrush and some neon green Dracula teeth!! The weather was nice and Mike enjoyed some 'trick" photography-I'm not really holding a giraffe!

Music Star
Maddie got the Music Star Award at school today. I think this means that she was a good singer during praise and worship. She wasn't too clear about why she got it but she was very excited to show off her badge.
Pedicure
Mike went to the Saints game on Sunday so Maddie and I had some girl time. She painted her toenails purple and I put on the nail stickers. She is very pleased that the purple works with her 'pattern"

Family Fun
We had a great time visiting with my sister and her two girls last week. My sister's husband Rob joined us on Thursday to join in the fun. The girls enjoyed a trip to Chuck E. Cheese and a visit to the mall to ride the carousel. Unfortunately Maddie came down with an ear infection and pink eye on Friday. Even through all the sickness the girls had a great time playing together. We miss them already.

A Family Visit
Yesterday my sister and her two girls came for a visit. The girls are on fall break and they are visiting for the week. Today we decided to release the butterflies. The girls took turns taking the butterflies out and letting them go. We are hoping they will stay close to the house so we can see them again. The girls played outside for a little while but it was so hot we had to go back inside. It is 85 today but with the humidity it feels like 93. That's Louisiana in October!!

Princess of Color
Our quirky Maddie is at it again. She loves to be a princess but she loves her "patterns" even more. She has decided that light pink, dark pink, yellow, and purple are what she calls patterns. She must have all of these colors on everyday and no color is to be represented more than once. Therefore she does not wear yellow because her hair is yellow. She can not wear the pink shoes that match her outfit because she is already wearing pink. Hopefully this will end soon. In this pic she had to have a sticker on her shirt to represent the dark pink "pattern".
Butterfly Kisses
Maddie got a butterfly house for her birthday, and we recently received the caterpillars in the mail. Once the caterpillars formed their chrysalises we had to wait 10 days for the butterflies to emerge (an extremely long time for a four year old). When we got home from church today one butterfly was already out. The other 4 were out within the hour. Maddie loved watching the butterflies but didn't want to hold one.
