October Update

So now that its the beginning of November, maybe I should update everyone on how the month of October was. It was fine, thats about it. Pretty simple, huh? I couldn't end the blog like that.

The weekend before Halloween we went to Waterman Farms in Wanamaker to pick pumpkins. It was, as always, a good time. Alex rode a pony which then made Doug get the idea that he needed to buy her a horse. We also watched the pumpkin eating Dinosaur get fed. No, Doug is not buying Alex a dinosaur too. We enjoyed their homemade kettle popcorn. One bag was obviously not enough so Doug bought two as if we need it. But it is only once a year we get to eat this oh-so-yummy snack. And I have to confess. We ate both bags within a couple of days. We continues our time by taking a hayride to the pumpkin patch to pick out pumpkins.

We carved out pumpkins a couple of nights before Halloween. Alex picked out Cinderella's shoe for her pumkpin, By the time I was done carving her shoe, I barely had enough time to carve my pumpkin. Maybe Ill save Cinderella's carriage for next year. I chose a quick and easy scary face. Alex picked out a skeleton for Dougs pumpkin.

Alex was dressed up as Cinderella for Halloween. She wore a Disney Authentic Cinderella dress we got from our summer vacation. She also wore her princess crown and light up wand. Her and her best friend Lance who was a police officer walked door to door collecting candy. Momma dressed up as a black cat, sporting black fluffy slippers as paws. A very comfy walk for me. We had to our Trick or Treating time a lil early because Alex was having stomach problems. She had the problems through out the day. Doug had to rush her home once and the second time we decided to stay home. But overall it was a good time and Alex had a lot of fun.

Now thats it November, we are preparing for birthdays and holidays. Its the busiest time of the year for the Thayers.
