Autumn!!

October was beautiful!! The streets in our neighborhood were lined with trees flaming with colorful leaves. Most of the leaves have fallen now, but there are tons on the ground for Jessica to play in!


We went to get our pumpkin to carve for Halloween at a pumpkin patch in a small town south of Urbana. Jessi rode around in the wagon with the pumpkin and later we buried her in spaghetti, butternut, and acorn squash (which they were selling for 25 or 50 cents!)




We decorated Halloween cookies with some friends in our apartments. I couldn't convince Jessica to do much frosting, but she loved eating the cookies and candy!



We had wonderful plans to be Little Red Riding Hood, her Grandma and the Big Bad Wolf for Halloween....I ended up sewing Jessica's cape the night before and never got anything made for us. I still tried to be the Grandma, but Nate dressed up in his bunny suit that he used in a chip-making class.
Jessica didn't quite catch on to the idea of putting candy in her basket. Once she got a hold of it she wanted to keep it and eat it!
