Happy Halloween

We started Halloween a little early (a few weeks ago) by making this cake. The stem is a candy bar, the rest is covered with M&Ms.
Pumpkin carving was really fun this year!
Our cute Ducky and cousin "Dorothy."
The whole gang (at least those who dressed up). Horse, Dorothys, Ducky, Doggie.

Trick or Treating with Daddy. We got some extra mileage out of this costume (last year and this year).
Had to get a profile for the tail!


A little video so you could see her waddle! (See video "0737")

Fall

It's fall here in CO. We saw this giant pumpkin in our neighborhood last week.
Last weekend, we went to a fall festival (glad we didn't wait until this weekend because the highs have been in the 20s). Above, Grant and Jenna crawling through a hay bale maze.
Garrison, Jenna, and Grant looking for candy in the hay.
Papa, Mima, and their grandkids.
Hard to believe Jenna has changed so much from last year's pumpkin patch, see Oct. 22, 2008.
Trying to pick up the pumpkins.
We got our winter hats and gloves out of storage just in time. Jenna was excited and had to try hers.

In the video bellow, notice her bow. She nods her head down then holds her arm out like she's acknowledging the band (like Daddy does). (See "bow" video in Jenna singing and dancing folder.)
And, if you've made it to the end of this post you'll be rewarded with a funny story. Saturday night, when I put Jenna in the bathtub, I couldn't figure out why she was resisting getting in and then once I got her in she wouldn't sit down. She just stood there looking at her feet. Finally, I looked down too and noticed that I had forgotten to take her socks off!! I couldn't stop laughing, which made it kind of difficult to get the socks off. Later she said, "I don't like to take a bath with my socks, Mommy."
