Pumpkin patch party

Chris's cousin, Katie, has a pumpkin patch in her back yard. Every year, she throws a pumpkin patch party and finally Maggie was able to attend! She and Ethan wore their Halloween costumes (she was a ladybug and he was a mad scientist). They went to the pumpkin patch, picked out a pumpkin, and decorated it. Actually, Tonia and I decorated them, but they loved playing with the stickers! Then we watched as the other kids hit and opened a pinata. Maggie and Ethan even got in a couple of swings! Here they are in their costumes:

Photo shoot

One of my old students takes great pictures, so we met up with her at Graue Mill in Oak Brook to get some pictures taken of Maggie. Our unofficial 3rd photo shoot. We still haven't had any professional pictures taken of Maggie, but we have some great pictures! Here are some of the best pictures Chris took, and hopefully I will be able to post some of the "professional" pictures in the next week or so.

counting

Maggie knows how to count to 3 now! She actually points to things and counts! I'm so proud of her.

She loves naming colors. She has all of her colors down now too. We were driving to Target today and all she wanted to do was point all colors on the way there, in the store, and on the way back!

Another car ride

Today, we are heading down to Grandma & Grandpa Miller's house for a cookout. I hope Maggie sleeps on the way down. She has been waking up before 7 lately, so she should be tired by the time we are driving.

The other day, I put "Maggie is weird" as my facebook status. Everyone wondered why is she weird, well here is a video that is a perfect example! (It shows that Ethan is weird too ;)



The other night Maggie was being very cute!! She kept picking up toys that belong to Ethan and saying "Ethan's" and then "share". I was very proud of her for telling me that they share toys. Now, if only they never fought over toys!! Hahaha

Blake's 2nd b-day party

We went to Maggie's cousin Blake's 2nd birthday party on Sunday. Maggie refused to sleep on the drive down to Normal, so by the time the party started, she was exhausted! Her daddy took a nap with her, so unfortunately, she missed everything!! After Maggie woke up, we took some cute pics though.
Maggie loves eating "kit-cakes". She's only had 4 her whole life, but she knew what they were where called after the first time she saw them. Aunt Tonee was eating one about a month ago, Maggie looked at it and said "cake"!


Maggie loves her "papa" Miller from a distance. She likes to look at pictures of him and she knows who he is as soon as she sees him, but she still won't go to him. When he got to the party, he tried talking to her, but everything he said or did, her response was "NO!"


It was pretty cold out once the sun went down, so here are the 3 older cousins in cute stocking hats! We couldn't get them to look at the camera though!
