If we weren't tormenting the dogs for amusement, we were coloring and not getting much on paper as you can see. Of course, there was Halloween, Mikayla's and the boys first. She went Trick or Treating with the Big Girls; the boys just stayed home and gave out - I mean ate the candy. Just kidding the boys stayed home and relaxed. Mikayla had a blast and need I say she got so high on sugar which she never really had until Halloween other than the occasional sucker from the bank. She was so funny and had so much fun with herself. She walked on her own with no carrying around our entire block. If that was not enough, mommy needed to get rid of some of the sugar in her system, so we went to the mall. We no longer collected candy but we strut our stuff all around the mall and checked out all the other creatures that were out and about. Mikayla as sugared up as she was walked the entire mall herself. Toward the end she would stop, bounce on her knees a bit and then just sit right in the middle of the floor for a second before she was up and walking again. Now I am not a mean mommy, really, she really did want to walk, like I said she was wired and that is putting it lightly. What those mini M&M's can do! I did feel bad as I was sure she would probably have leg cramps and charlie horses later but thanks to the normal routine of a nightly warm bath and a wonderful massage from mommy afterward I think she did just fine. She slept through the night no problem and then next day no sign of problems either except the over loaded diaper. :) I do know that the costume that in the beginning she hated putting on now puts a big smile on her face every time she sees it. I just can't wait until next year and see how she does with memories. :)) Just in case you are wondering, the outdoor pics are before the sugar and the inside are after. I have also included a video of breakfast one morning that shows how most meals go these days, you will love it. Well, the word is out, the surprise I mentioned in an earlier post has been let out of the bag. Mikayla's Grandma was just informed this week that she has a plane ticket to come and see her. She will be coming all the way from NY and they will meet for the first time for about a week. I am sure it will be exciting for both of them and I am sure I will get lots of pics to share. I would have mentioned the surprise earlier but I know Grandma follows the blog and I did not want her to find out here as I am sure you all understand. Grandma! Mikayla can not wait to meet you she has been hearing all about you and can't wait to have you stay for a while and play. Kisses and Hugs from Mikayla. See you soon and for the rest of you enjoy the pics and the videos that I know you all look forward to finding every week.
