Happy Halloween from the Brindley's


Puppy

Matt & AnnMarie came over for dinner last night. Yumm...chili & homemade corn muffins. AnnMarie brought smores galore for dessert...lots of yummmmmm.
Anyway, AnnMarie bought a puppy yesterday morning and they asked if they could bring it. Lilia loved the puppy so much and tired it out pretty good by running all around downstairs. Alex liked the puppy, but I think they were too close in size. They puppy could lick his face and jump on him too easily.

Matt, AnnMarie & the new puppy...to be named

Hiking at Ridley Creek


Yesterday morning was Beautiful!!! The weather was a perfect fall day. We headed out to Ridley Creek State Park to do some hiking. The kids were dressed in costume just for the fun of it.
At one point on our hike we walked past some bow hunters. Good thing the lion and the giraffe were on the trail.

Sittin, waitin, wishin

Today we had plans to go to the zoo. Lilia was dressed in her Halloween costume waiting by the front door.
I had Alex in the kitchen with me getting food together. I thought he was getting tired so I made him a bottle and when I went to check in on Lilia I found a sleeping giraffe.
We eventually made it out the door to the zoo after some sleepy time.

Strollin the zoo


For Halloween Lilia is a giraffe and Alex will be a lion. We were going off of Madagascar. We call our Alex, "Alex the Lion" as a result of that movie. And if you didn't already know which animal is Lilia's favorite before now, then you aren't reading this blog very closely!
So we headed off to the zoo today. Lilia was in her costume, partly because it's super warm and partly because she loved the idea. Alex just wore the hat for a short time. It was too chilly not to be bundled when you're just sitting in a stroller.

Yummy snacks
