HALLOWEEN!

sunday mom, dad and micah said their farewells.

it was a pretty hard goodbye, especially for little miss.

monday was good ol halloween!

and little miss was minnie mouse!

it was a pretty low key day.

eric didnt get off work till 5 and most of the around town activities

ended at 6.

so as soon as he got home we rushed to do some trick-or-treating.

mads was pretty shy the whole time, the last person we hit she finally broke out of her shell...

go figure right?!?

tuesday mads wasnt feeling so great...

unfortunately the head cold is hitting eric and madyn pretty hard right now. 

so i was pretty ok to keep her home with me for the day.

that next night she slept AWFUL!

so i decided just to let her sleep in and then see how she felt later in the day.

and little miss was more then ready to head back to school!

i love how much she is loving school. 

it sure makes the long days away from her more worth it.

that evening we had dance class and young womens to keep us busy and running.

and can i just say that little miss is such a trooper- 

especially considering how exhausted she was.

thursday madyn had a pj day at school.

and she was sooo excited to go in her pajamas. 

friday we had a parent teacher conference to see how she was doing.

and she is doing AWESOME!

here is a little bit of what we found out.

she is making friends- and is not just sticking to one group.

she is playing with everyone.

she is super compassionate and will always try and comfort someone when they are upset.

if she cant find a way to help then she lets her teachers know.

she loves science and watching experiments be preformed.

she is awesome with her cutting and pasting.

she is doing pretty good at meal time- she will at least try something once.

(HUGE SHOCKER THERE)

she marks her things with a M.

and is doing really good mimicking and copying letters.

which at the beginning of the week i was so impressed with her...

she wanted to draw a picture to send to Carilyn.

so i asked her what she wanted to draw, she told me, i drew it, then she drew hers.

and i do have to say myself- i think she did WAY awesome!

so we were pretty happy to hear how great she is doing at preschool.

her teachers told us that they have to constantly remind themselves that she is the 

youngest in their group and that she only just turned three.

but what can we say... i guess we already knew she was pretty brilliant ;)

saturday we spent catching up on some much needed rest and relaxation.

that night we headed out to the university of wyoming and utah state game.

i love how much madyn loves going to those games...

even though she was passed out before the end of the first quarter.

it was a pretty great night for some cowboy football.... even though the game
seemed to last foooorrrrreeeevvvveeeerrrrr.....
especially in the 3rd quarter.
but we were pretty happy to have another uw win under our belt!
