Collin Creek Mall
I don't go to the mall very often. It's only since I discovered my local mall has a kiddie train & a fountain have a chosen to go there to shop at JC Penny. There's a newer, independent JC Penny's a little closer to us but those 2 ammenities make shopping a little more fun for the kids. There's even a playground area but I didn't get any pics-Melanie was all over the place.
Plus, who doesn't like to walk through the mall every once in a while? It's so interesting, so colorful. PLUS, it smells of mall food! YUM! Very bad for you, but YUM!

Happy Halloween! Trick-or-Treat!
Melanie's costume is AMAZING!!!!!!!! Thank you SUPER much to you, Mom for making it! YOU ROCK! Every person Melanie got candy from commented on "how beautiful" her costume is. Melanie would say "My grandma made it." Then she wanted to choose her own candy, not be given a peice of candy. Who knew a 4 year old would be so particular about their candy? Melanie was also very NOT shy about asking for candy for Kyle. He felt he was too old to dress up, although he probably should have been the BIG BAD WOLF. But, we didn't think of that until we were in the car driving to down town McKinney to trick-or-treat. :( Too late. Anyway, Melanie would be givien a peice of candy if she didn't approve of it she would say "I don't like this 1." Then she would put it back, & reach for a different 1. After that she would ask "Can my brother have some candy too?" Or she would simply hand Kyle a piece that someone gave her. So together Kyle & Melanie made a good team & made out with a ton-o-candy! After down town, we came home & had dinner, played & relaxed. Then we took Melanie around our block just to support our neighbors (& get more candy!). Kyle was really helpful. He took Melanie right up too the doors & held her hand to cross the street. They had a lot of fun! It was definitly a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Melanie took a picture with her friends Capri (Thing 1-Cat in the Hat), and Ayda (witch).

Dallas Zoo
We went to the Dallas Zoo with our homeschool group.
The first thing Melanie wanted to do at the zoo was ride the carousel. Whoever invented teh carousel was a genius! They are so delightful! After that I asked Melanie which kind of animals she wanted to see first and she replyed "I wanna see the reptiles! Lets go see the snakes!" I have no idea where that enthusiasium for reptiles came from. I don't share it. But we saw some neat stuff. It was fun, creepy & intersting. Melanie REALLY enjoyed the snakes. My camera ran out of battery life half way through so we don't have ALL the cool things this zoo had to offer on film. For instance, Melanie go up close & personal with an elephant during a demonstration. She touched, petted, & fed a giraffe. We went through a petting zoo where Melanie fed her apples to donkey's & chased goats. The Dallas Zoo is AWESOME!
