Autumn Time

I love the Fall! There are so many fun 'harvesty' activities and the weather is nice and the leaves are changing and the air smells good... :) We've been having a fun Fall. We went to the Barnyard Boo at Thanksgiving Point when Hilary & Eden were in town. The girls each got to choose from several activities including wagon ride, face painting, cookie decorating, and pony ride - the favorite was the pony ride and they each rode twice:
Cutie Cousins:
Little Model:
The girls also had plenty of fun with the leaves in Grandma & Grandpa's yard!
We were completely surprised that we got SNOW on October 25! We had about 4" at our house, and Kate couldn't wait to go out to play. She rode her slide in the snow, we built a little snowgirl, but her favorite part was eating it:
We've been framing our basement (for Months now!), but Kate likes to come down and 'help.' She's really good at scattering nails around the floor and playing in the sawdust. One night she decided to wash her hair with sawdust...what a mess!! So here is William trying to suck most of it out with the shopvac:
And finally, Halloween! Kate dressed up as an adorable witch! Every time someone would ask her what she was going to dress as, she would give a different answer...either spider, Woody, pumpkin, etc. etc. But when she put on her witch costume, she loved it and wanted to be a mean witch. Everyone kept saying how cute and nice she was, though, so she changed her mind. :)
I took her around to Grandma, Grandpa & Daddy's offices on Friday...obviously she was a hit! On Saturday we went to Boo at the Zoo to trick-or-treat around see the animals...we're really glad we went! Saturday night we had intentions to take her around the neighborhood, but it was rainy and chilly, so we stayed in. Kate loved answering the door and commenting on the costumes of all the kids. It was a fun holiday!
