Happy Halloween!

I'm a couple days late with this post (which seems to be the overall theme for my blog). Apparently I forgot to hit "publish" the other day!  I've been cleaning up all of the glitter and candy apple pieces from my floor before my Lila 'vacuums' them all up for me.....sweet reminders of what a blessing it is to host our community group in our home every week. (Somehow, I didn't manage to get a single picture!).  We did take Lila trick or treating to the houses on our street. It was a really great way to meet all of our neighbors, and we ended up bringing back a bucket full of candy :) I've had so much fun seeing everyone else's pictures of their kiddos all dressed up, so I'm posting a few of my little snowman (mostly for the grandparents). Happy Halloween!

Field Trip!

After Lila's 9 month doctors visit, we rewarded her with a trip to our local pumpkin patch. We weren't sure how much of it she'd be interested in, but we had a Groupon so we figured we'd give it a shot. 

Our first stop was the small petting zoo area. She was interested in the goats until they tried to eat the bows on her shoe. The bunnies were more what she was looking for. She was cautious at first, but then grabbed a large chunk of fur. (Sorry bunnies!) 

We left the petting zoo and made a pit stop at the photo-op. You were really confused about why we wanted you to look through the cut-out, but you were a good sport.

The corn crib seemed to be a popular place with all the kiddos, but when you started to sink into the corn you were D-O-N-E. Maybe next year.

It didn't help that you were teething and being a little sensitive about Mommy leaving you in strange places.  The cotton crib proved to be more interesting to you anyway.

We left the cotton crib and went on a hayride. You were starting to get sleepy, but loved riding in the trailer and walking around the pumpkin patch with your daddy.

We spent a couple more minutes with the pumpkins, and then headed home (and you took the longest nap).  We can't wait to go back again next year!

Sorry for the picture overload!
