Happy Halloween!

Last night we carved pumpkins with friends, Aria painted her pumpkin, and we all got into the Halloween spirit. I made some edible paint since I knew Aria would try to eat it, which of course she did. I carved the headless horseman and it actually turned out great. Lance tapped into his creativity and shaved an awesome face into his pumpkin. Today I made some milk jug jack o lanterns. We'll hopefully be decorating the yard today and get ready for trick or treaters.

Pumpkin Patch

On Saturday we went with a group of friends to a local pumpkin patch. We spent an hour and a half in the corn maze. We weren't lost, we just were traveling with 5 kids including 4 year old twins, 2 dogs, and Aria. We ran out of time to actually buy a pumpkin since the line was so long, but at least Aria got to play in the pumpkin patch!

Rue

We adopted an 8 month old puppy and named him Rue. Aria likes him except when he tries to lick her to death. We've had him for 2 days now and so far he is showing great temperament. He did not know any basic commands but is learning to sit fairly well. I think he will fit into our family well with a little bit of training. I had to add some cute pictures of Aria. Yesterday she had steak with us for dinner. She's amazing, we love her!

Mobility

First, I don't know why but when I add photos from my phone blogger mixes them up. Yesterday afternoon we went to the park with our friends. I showed Aria the dinosaurs. We also went to a thrift store and bought her a new toy. It's really cool. It's a colorful nesting toy that looks like a bunch of bowls. Not only can you stack it in a tower but you can also form them into five little balls. This morning Aria learned that she could purposely roll in a direction to reach something. We are definitely baby proofing as soon as Lance gets back.

Busy day!

Aria's been all over the place today. We went jogging, she rolled around and found her books, we took Lance to work, went grocery shopping, planted flowers, played at the park, dinner, more shopping and finally bed. What a day! She really is rolling all over the place on purpose. At the store I found mums on sale and decided to redo the flower bed. I think it turned out nice.

Happy October

For the group today we did a craft activity. We made footprint ghosts. It turned out so cute I had to share!
