Happy Halloween!

Today was Halloween and Carli loved it!  She gets so excited that she talks a mile a minute!  She decided months ago that she wanted to be a witch.  I didn't want her to be a scary witch, so I decided her dress would be purple instead of the traditional black.  She now has enough candy to feed a small army (thanks mostly to her brother).

 We did her nails the night before.  She couldn't wait to show her friends at school.

First, we visited Poppie.
 

Next, we surprised Mimi.

We had to wait for Jayme and Austin at Grandma's & PawPaw's so we decided to work in our book.

Fall Festival

Today, we took Carli to a local farm for their Fall Festival.  We were hoping there would be a pumpkin patch, but they were really small.  There were lots of activities for Carli to enjoy though.  She had a good time!

This was supposed to be a relay race, but Carli stood there putting the oranges back on the tree.

She didn't want to pet the goat at first, but changed her mind.

She was fascinated with pumping the water to make the duck swim through along the path. 

Her duck had to be pink, of course.

She didn't really like this.  "What am I supposed to do?"

She had so much trouble getting on this bouncy thing.

Daddy, can you see her tongue sticking out like momma? 

The K News asked if she would sit here for them to take her picture.

Wow, look at those eyes!

Couldn't wait to get her face painted.

She had so much fun playing with her daddy at the teether ball!

Time for the hayride.

She even got to milk a "cow".

A Day at the Fair

Carli had so much fun at the fair this year!  Austin got us tickets through a friend of his in the City.  She sent three tickets to get in and a pass for Carli to ride up to 15 rides.

When we first got to the fair, Carli seemed a little overwhelmed by all the rides and things going on.  We asked her if she wanted to ride many rides, but she kept saying no. She was a little daunted that she had to ride them by herself.  Finally we found one she liked.  After that, she was excited to ride most any ride.

She wasn't crazy about the slide for some reason.

Carli's first roller coaster.  She enjoyed it.  She rode it twice and laughed the whole time!

Several sheep were being sheared.  She wanted to pet one and the lady let her.

We watched one round of goats being judged.  This was Carli's favorite, but she came in second though.

Carli's favorite ride was the swings.  She rode them three times.
