Trick-Or-Treat Girls

Halloween night we went around a neighborhood for about an hour. The girls got some candy, had fun hanging out together, and got nice and tired for bedtime =) I'm really happy that Katie was able to trick-or-treat with her cousins. It bums me out that she's an only child and never has friends/siblings to do things with. Boring doing things alone, or even with just your parents sometimes.

Happy Halloween Everyone!! Are you ready for November?!

A Gentle Day

Katie dressed as a veterinarian at the Gentle Barn. They had a small Fall Festival going on. 

 She decorated a bag when we got there. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure she ever put anything in that bag...

 But it did come out cute =)

 I bought her a bag of carrots to feed the horses. She was laughing so much when the horses tickled her hands.

 So true! Haha.

 We needed a popcorn and juice snack break.

 Katie loves animals. So much.

The Gentle Barn is pretty fun for kids. I wish it were a little closer, but still, 30 minutes isn't bad. I would much rather go in the Fall than Summer though, that's for sure!! So many fun things to do this time of year. So glad I'm able to do them with Katie.

Christy's Halloween Party

Christy threw a Halloween party for all the kids. When we got there, Katie decorated a baby pumpkin.

 She made cupcakes =)

 My Mom made ghost pops for Katie to give the kids, but then Christy ended up having them too ;p

 Little treats for the kids.

 Fun game, dressing the kids up like mummies with toilet paper.

 Katie's team wasn't as successful, lol.

 Then they did an egg race.

 Cousin's photo.

 And then the dead rise from their graves...lol.

Thanks for inviting us Christy! Katie had a lot of fun! =)

Preschool Harvest Party

My second day of work just happened to be the Harvest Party. Katie and I picked up her favorite cookies to bring to her class party. She was even dressed harvest-y in an apple outfit my Mom bought her a while back.

Halloween All Month

Halloween at Disneyland, check! Halloween at Seaworld, check! Took Katie to Trick-or-Treat with the sea life, and she had a great time. I bought my Mom a ticket for her birthday so we could all go together. I realized too late that Katie could have wore her Halloween costume. Oh well, she still had tons of fun. When we got there my Mom bought her a cupcake decorating kit. She put all the m&m's she could fit onto her cupcake :p Then ate 4 bites and said she was done. Haha.

Katie loves this playground. I get stuck there for a long time with her. Climbing the nets and then going down the slide. Over and over.

Time to feed the dolphins! They have it roped off now, and only 2 people are allowed over there, for each fish tray purchased. So I ended up buying 2 so my Mom could come over with us. Katie fed both trays to the dolphins though of course :p So cool that they let you do that.

The trick-or-treat bags they handed out.

This is what happens when you get bored waiting in line for rides. You get silly!

After the rides, we went to see the Blue Horizons show. It was pretty cool.

Dinner time!

My Mom and Katie, the newest Polar Bears at Seaworld. Raaawwrr!

Ended the night by saying goodbye to Cookie Monster.

Such a super fun day. I love the Fall season. The weather is nice, which makes everyone in a good mood, and there are so many things we can do.

Lunch & Laura's

Katherine and I decided to go eat lunch at Laura's work, so we could spend time with her.

 With our good luck, Laura was about to get off in an hour, so she invited us to hang out at her house after. The girls were able to play together and us Moms were able to girl talk :p

Stu Miller Is Back!

Is going to the pumpkin patch every year considered a tradition, or just something to do with the kids when you see it's opened for the month?

In any case, the kids love it! I made Katie a pillowcase dress to wear. She looks cute in my opinion ;p

I invited Katherine along so they could have some friends to go with too, but Izzy wasn't very interested in the rides or anything, so they ended up leaving soon after they arrived. I was bummed for them!

Katie, Hannah and Madison got their tickets though, and couldn't wait to get on some rides!

My beautiful girl. I love her to the moon.

The swings!!

Playing a game. She won a paddle ball, you know, those paddles with the ball attached to a string. She wasn't very good at it and got pretty frustrated. But at least she had fun playing, right? And to be fair, I'm an adult, and still not very good at those, lol.

Aye. My precious girl. Always wants to go on the slides. Always gets scared to come down once she's at the top. This isn't her first rescue, let me tell you. Woohoo for Grandmas though!

The girls ended the night with Mary taking a pumpkin cart and pulling the girls all around in it. They had so much fun! Pumpkin patch is a must. Every year. Going with friends is even better =)
