Halloween Halloween Trick or Treat!

We had an exciting Halloween this year, that's for sure!We started off by going to this Story Book Forrest event here in Edmond. They decorate this trail up to look like different story book themes and characters/volunteers hand out candy. Fun! Of course it was crowded the night we went because it was a really nice night, but it was all good. Bianca loved it!

 She spun the wheel and won a prize!

 Her 2nd hayride...that we waited forever for and almost gave up on, haha!

 Her loot!

After the hayride we roasted some marshmallows over a fire. Yum! What a cute idea! Then it was time for the ward Halloween party and trunk or treat. It was pretty cold out, but fun to see everyone all dressed up. Earlier that day I went to the dollar store and found some (almost lol) white gloves she could use to be Minnie Mouse, and they were a hit. Everyone said how cute they were haha!

 

 My pumpkin cupcakes with a maple frosting!

She did well at the trunk or treat part too! After each trunk she'd say "ok, more! let's go!" Of course I couldn't get it well on camera, but I tried. :)

We also decided that we should probably decorate our pumpkins before Halloween, so that we did for family home evening. She was kinda grumpy, but had fun putting colors on her pumpkin face I drew for her. Her favorite part, however, was washing her hands in the bowl of water.

On Halloween night, the Anderson's invited us over to trick or treat with them! Yay! That was so nice since we had no idea where else to go. Bianca and Miles would happily go up to each house and knock on the door to get their treats. They had a lot of fun, and were sad when we were done.

My pregnant costume: A pumpkin haha!

Pumpkin Patch and October Fun

This month is just flying by! We took Bianca to a pumpkin patch recently! It was a cool one that had a petting zoo, pony rides, a corn maze, and hayrides! She LOVED it! Her favorite part (again) was the stinking goats! We got some food for her and she just fed them and wouldn't stop smiling! She kept saying, "mmm, yummy goat!" It was too cute!

Next we went through the corn maze! It was a typical Oklahoman hot hot hot day, so for the first time this pregnancy I actually started to get dizzy/see spots! We immediately sat down so I could drink some water and eat some crackers and then tried to find our way out. What a place to get overheated, haha! Bianca had fun standing at each intersection and pointing out which way we should go. She's not the best compass, but at least she's cute.

 We took Bianca on her first hayride next. At first she didn't know what to think of it, but once it started going, she loved it!

We let her pick out her own pumpkin, which was fun. She took her time inspecting all of the pumpkins just to find her special one. She held it the whole way home!

After that we stopped at Pop's to get some sodas! We were going to eat there, but it's always super crowded and Bianca was getting cranky (can't blame her, I was hungry and cranky too). 

We've been having fun recently. We like to go to the park on some nights, but we're getting sad that the days are getting shorter. It's going to be too late for night time park visits, and that makes me sad. 

Bobby has been watching his debate things recently. They haven't been very exciting for us girls. ;) One debate we went to the Anderson's house and the kids played while the men (and sometimes us ladies) watched the debate. Another time Bianca and I decided to decorate each other with stickers. Best. Decision. Ever. :)
