Just a few other random festive pictures. Abby came across my earrings that went with my hippie costume and wanted to try them out.
PEACE!!

Too Cute
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

So we had a great Halloween!! We started off by going to our church Halloween party also known as trunk or treat. They always do a chili cook off and a costume parade where they award prizes. I am proud to say that Abby won one of the awards this year. Thanks to my amazing mom for doing such an awesome job making Abby's costume again this year! You truly are the best and I love you!! I always find it amusing when people ask about her hair. They wanted to know if it was her real hair. The curls yes.....the red color no. She did think it was rather cool taking a pink bath when we were washing that red color out. I decided to have a little more fun this year and dress up too. I also got a couple funny comments which included, "You make the perfect flower child." and "Your hair is just perfect for that costume." Yes I know that is part of the reason I picked the hippie costume this year. I just seemed to fit the part. ; ) We also went out trick or treating around our neighborhood. Abby had a blast!! In fact she didn't want to quit and come home. At the beginning we were trying to get down the what do you say, Trick or Treat. So we go to one house and they open the door and I said, "What do you say" and her reply was, "HI". It was really funny as we left one house she told me, "Oh no I forgot to say goodbye." So I told her to make sure and say it at the next house. So we go to the next house and get through the trick or treat and Happy Halloween and then she says, "Bye Bye, I love you." I bust up laughing. The lady was very kind and told her she loved her too. Of course she loves all these people who are giving her candy. LOL!

Trunk or Treat

Red Hair!

Darn a little blurry....I really need a new camera!

Cute smile!!




Too many really cute ones I couldn't decide which ones to share so I just put a bunch. I hope you are enjoying them and not feeling overloaded with the same stuff!



One of my better ideas. She got to ride in the stroller to go around trick or treating. Otherwise I am sure I would have ended up packing her around. Plus if she was walking we would probably only get a couple houses. Your just slower when your legs are so short. ; )

Trying to reach the doorbell

Yeah she made out with a ton of candy!! I was thinking I should take some of it to work to share.

CARVING PUMPKINS

Abby helping Gong Suk with his pumpkin
A little unsure about getting in there and getting all messy

Ok she decided to try it.
Eww...slimey
But it turned out to be pretty fun
Helping Mommy
She wanted to use the little saw. Very helpful! ; )

Mommy's pumpkin which took a long time so Gong Suk was kind enough to carve the other two.

Decorating little pumpkins

When we were at the store Abby saw these little pumpkins and wanted to get some and I thought why not. So we bought a bag full and some fun little accessories and had a lot of fun decorating them. She has been carrying them around the house playing with them since we made them. Not quite sure how we are going to get rid of them yet.
Feathers YAY!!

She wanted to do the gluing by herself.

Decorating
She loves her pumpkins!

Abby with all of her little pumpkins. Her favorites were the witches.

PLAYING IN THE LEAVES!

When we got home from the pumpkin patch Abby was walking through the leaves because she liked the crinkling sound they made. Which started me to thinking how much fun we used to have as kids jumping and playing in big piles of leaves. So......

Just getting started

Running through them

Time to really dig in
Pretty good pile huh?

It's the leaf monster!!

Too cute!


She was definitely having a blast!


Of course I had to get in on the fun!

I love this one!

So I don't like this one of me but it is still kinda cute so I will put it on here. I like Abby's little grin!
PUMPKIN PATCH

So pretty much all of my pictures at the pumpkin patch turned out blurry. Plus we waited too long this year combined with the crazy weather and the early freeze. So it wasn't nearly as fun as last year where you are actually out searching for the pumpkin that you like. It was searching for a pumpkin that wasn't all mushy. We still had fun. They have the big blow up slide and jumpy castle and some animals there to see which Abby thoroughly enjoyed.

Ready to head to the pumpkin patch

Would have been super cute if it wasn't blurry dang it!!

They have these convenient little displays where you can take pics.

Giving the scarecrow a little love. : )


Checking out the animals
