Halloween

So about 2 months ago Avary asked me if she could be Alice for Halloween.  We had just gotten finished reading her first chapter book Alice in Wonderland .  I was so happy to hear that she wanted to be her, but how would I get a costume to fit the part?  The ones online were cheaply made and expensive.  So who did we turn to?  Grandma Marg!  She is the most talented sewer I have ever met.  There is nothing she can't do!  So when we asked her she went right to work.  This is our finished product and it is stunning!  Thanks Grandma!  You are the best! 

Sloan was sure to follow in a request that would be soon met!  Auntie Brandi to the rescue with Buzz Lightyear!! Sloan loves this costume and we can't put it on her or we know we wont get it back off! 

We celebrated Fall by going to Hartland orchard and it was a blast.  The girl's picked their one pumpkins and had to help Daddy get apples from the orchard.  It reminded me of our Iowa home with the rolling fields and open spaces.  We finished the day off with a trip to Merrifields Garden Center where they painted their own pumpkin, went down slides, and played in a sandbox full of corn. Awh... Fall is great :)
