Pictures of Fall

I got a new laptop for my birthday, so stay tuned for more frequent blog posts. Here are some pictures of Julianne this Fall. We used my parents Halloween decorations (they don't decorate for Halloween anymore - Baa Humbug!), but we really had fun with the spiders, witches, and ghosts this year. We hosted a play group for Julianne's class at our house a few weeks ago which was the inspiration for the decorations. Our neighborhood went crazy with Halloween decor which is one of the reasons we love it here - the front porches lend themselves well to holiday decorations, so most people had great stuff out including orange lights!

We have had a few Halloween events to attend (one play date at a park with school friends) and a birthday party, so it was fun to get to see Julianne dressed up 3 times this year. She was a white fairy princess this year and we used her cute Ladybug costume from last year as well - it is so darn cute.

We visited a Farm called 7 Acre Woods in Conroe complete with a pumpkin patch, a petting zoo, an old timey town for kids, and a huge playground. We went with Leslie and Emma and had a blast. Emma did eat some dirt, but she did not seem to mind. She is a darling, sweet friend! I am thinking this may be a good spot for a birthday party in February, but we will see.

On Halloween, we trick or treated with our new friend, Jack, who is Julianne's age (he is the pumpkin) and the kids had a great time. Our neighborhood had all the kids meet in the park and then we went on from there.

A few cute things to remember:

*Julianne and I were looking at the stars the other night and she said, "they are soooooo cute."

*When Julianne spent the night at my parents house the other night, she woke up singing, "Oh Susanna, on won't you cry for me" which she calls "Mommy's song."

*I was fussing at Daddy for something and she pointed her finger at me and said, "Be Nice to MY DADDY!"

*When she was mad at me she said, "You are not..a good...idea." This comes from us saying things like, "let's not touch the oven - that is not a good idea." I started to pretend cry and she ran over and said, "mom, it's ok, you ARE a good idea!!"
