Halloween 2009

Charlotte was a bee this Halloween! Her favorite toy at the park is a bee and frog bouncy thing, so it totally fits her. So far, Halloween has been her favorite holiday. She loved all of the Halloween displays in the store and the decorated homes in our neighborhood. Since she really loved Halloween this is totally going to be a photo overload!

When she woke up from her nap she was a little cranky. I tried to put on her costume and this is what happened:

"Off! Off!"

We got her a little something to eat

then she was ready to go!

Showing her costume off to the neighbors

Weeeeee!

Ok, let's go!

So serious. She doesn't understand what Trick or Treating is yet...

Silly bee!

Let's go ring the doorbell!

The Pumpkin Patch!

Yesterday we went out to Roloff Farms (from the show Little People, Big World on TLC). It was so much fun! The day began with tons of rain and some thunder and lightning, but by the early afternoon it cleared up- just in time for us to head over there! :)

This was Charlotte's first trip to a pumpkin patch!

They had lots of quirky signs

So cute! No idea why a lion was there though

Hi dad!

Done with the maze! What's next?

They had some pretty neat looking carved pumpkins on display

They also had a little petting zoo!

Isn't this guy funny? So cute. We loved him

Uh oh, dirty hands!

They also have tours and stuff, but we didn't do them. Definitely next time! They have some cool stuff on their property we'd love to go check out.

Time top pick out pumpkins!

One tired girl!

Charlotte's Excited for Halloween!

Charlotte is at such a fun age right now! This year she is old enough to understand Halloween, and she just loves everything about it so far. We went and picked out a costume last week- she's going to be a bumble bee! She loves it. Trick or treating is going to be a blast! We meant to put up our decorations a couple weeks ago, but then we all got sick and it was cold and dreary out. We finally got them put up this week! Yay! I am going to be sad when it's all over and I'm going to miss her saying "Haween!" (Halloween) all the time. But there are even more holidays coming up to be excited about, so it won't be too bad.

All ready to put out the decorations! bundled up in her gloves and awesome new boots.

Playing with the leaves

Some other stuff....

Watching Mr. Rogers. This is still the only thing she will watch on tv. I love how she is just chilling out here.

Playing Xbox with Uncle Nathan

She thought it was funny to push his buttons! (In more ways than one! Ha!)

Had to bribe her with french fries to get her to just sit and watch

Playing with a light up toy

kind of neat, but kind of creepy!

Eating a pomegranate. This little girl loves fruit.

Playing on the "ribbit"; One of her favorite things ever! If I ask her what she wants to do, it's always "Ribbit ribbit! Bee!"

the super tough choice: frog or bee???

Swinging over the slide

I see you!
