October- Halloween, and Birthdays!

I've been dreading this post because I keep postponing it, and so it gets longer and more involved. So, I must do it to get it off my chest, and then I can move on. Ok, well actually, I just really don't want to admit that October/my birthday/Emma's birthday/Halloween are already over. By the way, thank you honey for that wonderful birthday post! What a sweetie.

These pictures are in no particular order. I think you can figure it out. Here we are after Halloween, with candy and sugar coming out of their ears. That's all Kenadi thinks about anymore... as soon as she wakes up she asks if she can have a "little Treat" and then she asks all day long.

This last Saturday I canned pears with a friend of mine. It took ALL day! This picture is not even half of the pears that we canned. Just a side note: never can D'Anjou pears because A) they take 1-2 months to ripen and B) they aren't as good as Bartlett.

Kenadi, Grandpa Curtis, and Emma. Kenadi is_____ and Emma is______. Can you make a guess?

And who am I?

Our pumpkins. Mine is the BOO in the middle. I wanted to do it fast. Kenadi's is the one on the right, and Randy's on the left. Emma helped us all. I actually did Kenadi's.

Here we are: happy little family. Emma didn't really like to dig in and get messy like I thought she would. Oh well. I guess she'll stick to messing in her food.

We went to a pumpkin patch. I was proud of us for braving the weather. It was FREEZING! For Oklahoma anyways. It was cold, with bitter wind. The girls couldn't even move because they had so many layers on. As soon as I put Emma down to walk she fell down and rolled over like a little bug on her back who couldn't get up. I got a few laughs in.

See my cold nose and hands?

My lucky find! I got this off the curb on big garbage day. This day I made her "windows" because it was raining.

Action shot- my birthday! Randy made me the most delicious cake/treat. I meant to post it for last weeks FFTF, but I forgot. I will do that, I promise!

We went on a walk in the woods on another really cold day. I loved it.

So did Kenadi.

Emma climbs like crazy. She has taken to pushing the tricycle over to the piano, climbing on the trunk, up to the seat, onto the bench, onto the keys, and.... as high as she can go. Scary.

We celebrated Emma's birthday... she had lots of fun, maybe as much as Kenadi!

Last, I figured out that I can put Emma's hair into piggy tails. I guess I could have done it for a while-she has a lot of hair. Anyways, I LOVE little girls hair in piggy tails!

Well, 11 months to go until it's October again. Counting down already~ it's my favorite month!
