MEOWW!!

We kept our Halloween pretty low key this year. Chloe said she wanted to be a tiger (had ears and a tail from my niece. Last minute she told me she wanted to be a cat with whiskers. Easy enough. We had ears from last year. Cutest cat I have EVER seen. She was saying, "MEOWW" in this picture. We then went to our local HY-VEE where they do trick or treating and had dinner with friends there. Then we went around our neighborhood with these 2 cute robots, our neighbors and close friends. We had a great time. Topped it off with a visit to Grandma, who passed out candy with Minnie ears, gloves and a Minnie T-shirt (forgot to take a picture). So. Much. Fun.

Saturday Family Outing

 Today we visited Pumpkin Patch, Bloom where you're planted, about 30 minutes outside of town. It is perfect for little kids and doesn't have any spooky stuff. Chloe enjoyed it all and even picked out a cute pumpkin for herself.

 

Looks as cute as it is.

 

Our 2 yr. old is a tad over 3 ft. this fall. Yikes! Brent is still measuring just under 6 ft.:)

 Talking to the baby goat.

 This was a cute water pump that sent plastic ducks down the pipes.

 Tractor with Mom

 Many of you know that I love the idea of interacting with animals but it doesn't always turn out very good (Monkey screaming and throwing a cucumber at me in China). These chickens were kind of aggressive and were pecking my wedding ring and legs. I tried to act calm but eventually stood up and moved on.

 Hayrack ride to the pumpkin patch.

 Sweet little pumpkin .50cents.

 Snack time, homemade sugar cookie.

 Corn box. Chloe loved this sensory play.

 Corn angels.

 Swimming in the corn. I had my shoes off in the corn and it was so much fun in there!

It was a great October day with the family!

Train Ride

A few weeks ago we were invited to the zoo for a birthday party and that included a free train ride. Chloe had such a great time riding on the train and I had fun watching her enjoy it. She also had a great time talking to the baby goats. I have been enjoying braiding her hair and taking some artistic pictures during our adventures. She is SO tall and I must have her hair trimmed soon.
