October 2009 (catch up post)

October is always a fun month with lots of fall festival type activities. Although Texas has some fall activities, there is absolutely nothing that compares to picking apples in Ellijay, pumpkin farms, hayrides, corn maizes, and Dahlonega Gold Rush (including a caramel apple from the Fudge Factory).
Allie's Kindergarten class had a 'Fall party' on October 31 and they got to wear their costumes to school. Here is a picture of her class minus one child in the bathroom.

Allie wanted to be Cinderella since we had just recently returned from Disney World.

Allie partnered up with her friend Jack to wrap each other up as mummies at the party.

That evening, we headed to church for the fall festival there. We usually try to go early and leave early (jumping houses get very crowed later in the evening)

Allie loved riding the bull this year!

After leaving the fall festival at church, we hooked up with her best friend Lilly to do some trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. It actually got cold this evening and we had to dig for sweaters. (This should have been a clue to me that it would actually be cold this winter and that I should buy Allie a winter coat this year!! but I didn't and we suffered through it. Haven't needed a heavy coat the last 3 years!)
