Happy Halloween!

I think Sophia thoroughly enjoyed her day today!  At daycare she got to be a kitty cat inside (eee-ow) and a monkey for their walk around the block.  I was able to escape from work an hour early so I could see her enjoy her halloween!

I arrived home to find Sophia hoarding the candy that was soposed to be handed out.  Under the couch cushions, in the trunk of her car... she must have known it would be leaving the house!  lol.  We dressed her all up in her monkey costume and out we went.  She was a little unsure the first house but figured it out pretty quick!  Even though it was drizzling a bit, she went up to every house and announced "trick or treat" often before they opend the door.  She did always say thank you though and off she would go "walk" again.  Unfortunately I think we tired her out because she didn't want to go back out again with daddy.

She stayed in then and handed out candy to the kids coming to our house (now that she knew how it worked).  She was very generous giving out both handfuls of candy to each kid which, unfortunately, meant that we had to dig into our reserved for the parents stash.  She also made sure to say trick or treat to each kiddo that came to the door.

Here is our little monkey hamming it up for the camera!

My little 20 month old... where has the time gone!  Looking at those pictures below just from last year it is hard to believe.  You were still such a little baby!  Today you are quite the little girl.  Worried about your hair, always wanting accessories such as hats and glasses, wanting the "shlide" and the buggy and the mailbox, talking and dancing up a storm and engaging in full out temper tantrums!  Anyone tell her she is 4 months shy of 2???

I am going to ignore my guilt of not maintaining this blog and ignore my overwhelming need to fill in everything in the past year and continue on as if nothing happened.  I think...
