Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!



Pictures of Norah in her real costume to follow!

To the Fair

We took Norah to the fair a couple of weekends ago. While she was pretty uninterested in the art and textile displays, she did have a lot of fun seeing all the animals up close. We stayed away from the rides this year, but Dan did get a chance to get his corndog and funnel cake. Lucky him!

Firetrucks and Farm Animals

Norah and I have been going to Mommy and Me gymnastics since August. She really enjoys the class and the chance to play with the other kids who are in it. In the process of taking the class, we have realized that we have a bit of a climber on our hands. Norah gets to try out new things at the gym, but then she practices them on pretty much every piece of furniture at home. There might be a bit of a genetic connection in this trait, since I've heard her Daddy was quite the climber, too. She is turning into quite the independent big girl!

Look what I can do myself!

Norah's Pumpkin

So many to choose from!

To help get ready for Halloween, Dan, Norah, and I headed to the pumpkin patch on Sunday. She got to pick her pumpkin out of the field, so it took us awhile to find the perfect one. Of course, we got a little side-tracked checking out all the dirt clods, pumpkin vines, and various other weeds. (Norah was really interested in all the dirt, but as soon as it got on her hands she would wrinkle up her nose and frantically brush her hands together. Dan blames me for this. I don't know what he's talking about.)

After harvesting our pumpkin, we got to take a hay ride around the farm and see some farm animals. Norah had lots of fun!

We walked way out into the field to find our pumpkin... then Daddy cut it off the vine and we carried it back to the car
