Carolyn continues to amaze us with how much she is like a real kid instead of the baby we sometimes like to think she still is. She is stringing words together, making connections, and doing things we can NOT believe she is big enough to be doing. We love her for the firecracker that she is but we are also learning how stubborn and picky our little girl is going to be.
We had our first pumpkin carving party at our new house and we were so blessed that so many family and friends were able to come over and help us celebrate our first get together in our new house. We moved it to the evening time and next year we will know to start our carving a little earlier so that we are not carving by candle/spotlight.

C was all about the pumpkin guts

One of the things I love about day care is that Carolyn learns things that I wouldn't even think to teach her. When we had the lights out and the pumpkins lit we started hearing C dance to some music. We turned the light on and caught her singing and dancing along to this toddler tune favorite.
Carolyn was a bumblebee for Halloween. We think it's only fitting that a girl as busy and active as she is be a buzzzzzzz'ing around. (Plus it was $10 at Target)

Some other odds and ends from this fall:
First snow fall in the new house
Her newest obsession is "COOKIE" (monster)
Helping mom in her classroom
Buying more pillows for our Thanksgiving guests
Too cool for shoes?!?! It was literally 28 degrees when we went to pick up our Thanksgiving Turkey from the Farmer's Market and she would not keep her hat, gloves, or shoes on.
