Got Milk???

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE HALLOWEEN. I was about to say that it is a time for my inner child to come out, however my child is not inner and it is always out, so maybe this season really just gives me an excuse to be how I always am.

Life has been way too much fun lately. I know that California is not renown for its change of seasons and its fall weather, however there has still been a nice chill in the air and in fact a good amount of rain. All the stores have pumpkin everything and the colors are absolutely beautiful. I feel so warm and cozy and mushy inside during the fall, I don't know why, but I love it! Anyways, we have been visiting the pumpkin patch often and today we got to attend a Halloween, Costume, Birthday party for our neighbor who turned 5. IT WAS A BLAST. I know it sounds kind of bad, but I can actually understand how that Mom in the movie "Problem Child" wanted to adopt a kid so bad, just so she could get invited to all the neighborhood parties. Madeline is at such a fun age, where she has friends now and gets invited to parties. Basically she has assisted in making us popular :) I am partially kidding of course, Madeline is a party within herself and provides entertainment non stop. Myla just adds to our happiness everyday, with her super chill personality and a smile that never ends. I don't think I could be anymore blessed! Anyways, I've become a pictureaholic and I am going to post a ton of pics. I just cannot stand the thought of missing out, or not capturing one moment of our lives with our beautiful girls!

Regarding our costumes I keep thinking that maybe Matt's cow costume has been overdone, yet we seem to bust it out again and again each Halloween and it brings guaranteed smiles to everyones faces. Now, after tonight, Matt has won twice for best costume, once on the Caribbean cruise we went on in 2007 and tonight at the Birthday party. We went to Walmart when we were dating and got that costume and he was the cow and I was a milk bottle. It was pretty funny. Since then I decided to be a cow girl because it is an easier costume to pull off last minute. Matt's Aunt got Madeline the Cindarella costume for her second birthday and surprisingly it still fits. My Dad also got her the Snow White costume that she had on in my previous post. I figured she could switch off between the two for her different Halloween parties. I actually got a princess costume for Myla too, but it was so cold outside that I decided to put her in the cow costume at this party. Plus it is fun to compare pics of Maddie and Myla in the cow costume.

I am going to post the many diff occasions the cow costume has made an appearance in the Deter family. I am not doing them in order, so I will put a heading under them with the year. Enjoy:

So, this first one was when chic-fi-la was having a deal that if you were a cow costume you would get free food. When I hear the word free it does something to me :) Oct. 2009

So, here I was prego with Madeline and we were on a cruise in the Carribean. Can you see my prego belly? I was 24 weeks in this pic. Oct. 2007

This one is my fav. We were right in front of a cafe on the boat and took this. All the people in the cafe were cracking up.
So, this is when Madeline was no longer in my tummy and we went and visited Dad at work in our costumes. Oct. 2008

I wanted to show the comparison of Madeline and Myla in the costume. This was today, so Oct. 2010.

Now, some more of our second trip to the pumpkin patch. I kind of overdid the Halloweeness of Maddie's outfit, but I loved it.

I love this one, Maddie struck a pose :)


So, now we are at the costume, birthday party pics. Maddie makes a beautiful princess.


Myla, my precious little angel, well, actually cow right here.
We are so meant to be together :)


I am obsessed with pics where food is all over children's faces. To me it captures how yummy their food was and how much they enjoyed it.
I love this beanie, it looks like her brain exploded.
Now that was one good cupcake and one happy little lady. She looks a little high from the sugar.
