Happy Halloween

Ellen told us she wanted to be a doggie...a pink doggie, actually...but when presented with the idea of making a Dalmatian doggie costume, she thought that sounded like fun! She painted the black spots, and then we made ears and a tail.

Will was an outdoorsman/bird-watcher. With his stroller masquerading as the forest, Will concealed himself in camouflage and carried his binoculars, ready to spot a winged or four-footed creature.

Pumpkin Patch

Ellen and Will enjoyed a trip to a local pumpkin patch the Saturday before Halloween. Halloween night, after trick-or-treating, Ellen stayed up late to help hand out candy and carve a pumpkin!

Apple Picking

Saturday was the perfect apple picking day! The trees were loaded with delicious apples, the sky was bright blue, and the temperature wasn't too hot or too cold. Will ate applesauce for the first time--his first taste of a fruit. We're enjoying the apple cider we purchased and the apple pie we baked!
