Pumpkin Patch, Petting Zoo, & Halloween

Our computer is not in good shape, and so it has taken me FOREVER to get this blog up (having to restart it after every collage is made, and every time I add a picture)...and we've been kinda busy. If you saw the previous blog, you saw that Chad, Elliott, and I met Trish and the boys at a pumpkin patch in Flowermound (the one we wanted to go to didn't open until 3 and Chad had to leave town at noon). I convinced Trish to be our photographer so that I would have a cute family photo for our Christmas cards this year....we ended up with lots of great pictures, but I don't know if any of the are Christmas card cute (I haven't told Trish yet that she might have to take a couple more before she pops Sadie out, ha!). Anywho, here's some from that day...
That weekend we attended a birthday party for one of Steve and Marla's neighbor's grandkids (did you follow that?). It was a John Deere themed event with tractor rides and a petting zoo. Elliott knows all of her animal sounds and loved getting to see the animals up close and personal. She's at an age where she is very clingy and gets upset if there are too many people or if a stranger talks to her, so I was really concerned that she wouldnt enjoy this. I couldn't have been more wrong...she LOVED it.

 And, then of course it was Halloween. Last year we took Elliott to a couple of houses Trick or Treating, but this year she was able to walk and hold out her bag for candy (she might have been more excited if she knew what candy was). We ended up bribing her with a sucker to let us take a TON of pictures in her skunk costume (homemade, of course!).
Also, I just got the CD of pictures from Elliott's first birthday...so I'm hoping to blog about it on both here and my crafty blog http://www.punkindoodledesigns.blogspot.com/ sometime this week.
