October!

What a month! We have been quite busy this month, what with pumpkins and all...
Apparently pumpkins rot immediately after being carved if you get them at the BEGINNING of October.  I was very excited to take Maddie to the Pumpkin Patch so I insisted that we go the first week of the month.  We had a great time and Maddie got to see all kinds of things she had never seen before.

Animals...

Pumpkins...

Horse Rides... 

Duckies! (She loved them!)

We waited till the week before Halloween to carve them, but it still didn't seem to matter :( They rotted about 24 hours after they were carved.

Although we had a FANTASTIC time with them anyway!

Getting ready...

We made pumpkin seeds...

She didn't care much for the feel of mushy pumpkin...

But she loved the way her hands taste..

We didn't even get a picture of our pumpkins before we had to throw them out :( Maybe next year I will be able to contain my excitement and wait till the end of the month like everyone else. 

The Saturday night before Halloween we went to Tracie's Halloween party.  We also celebrated her Dad's 50th Birthday! We had a blast, and Maddie did great at her first real "party".  

Tracie and Maddie

I did a terrible job of taking pictures on Halloween.  We went Trick or Treating with some friends and Maddie had a great time, but these are the only two pictures I took... Terrible Mom! 

Little Ladybug..

I think this might be our first Family Picture... Someone is always behind the camera.. 

On to November... And hopefully more Blog posts.
