We've had some beautiful fall days, which have allowed for a lot of outside time with Layla.
But, even with the gorgeous weather, we've spent some time inside, watching How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Seriously, we've watched this movie no fewer than 87 times. Girl loves the Grinch.
We went to the pumpkin patch and "rode" in the wooden train.
We also found some really stellar pumpkins. 3 of them have been attacked by squirrels or something and have already rotted. So basically we're left with that big one, which Em and I plan on carving this week. That is, unless the squirrels get to it first.
Em was pretty pleased with her haul.
Obligatory pumpkin patch picture with Daddy...
... and with Mommy.
And of course, a family shot!
Just carrying my pumpkin...
We went to the zoo for "Boo at the Zoo." Emily decided she wanted to be a cat. She decided this when she pointed to the picture in her book of the baby dressed as a cat, and then pointed to herself. No idea if that's what she really meant, but that's what I decided she meant. So, here she is as a cat.
Just running around. Dancing to the live music. Dragging her tail behind.
It was a good way to work out some energy! Also, all cats should wear pink cowboy boots.
The zoo is always a hit with Em. She LOVES the lions and tigers. The snow leopard was even out and about when we visited. Em kept patting the railing and making a "come here" motion with her hand. In her defense, when she does that to Layla, Layla comes and sees her. Kid just wanted to pet the snow leopard.
Don't look too closely at the tutu. It's a bit of a hot mess. I swear I wasn't drunk when I made it. Just way too impatient.
Sure, I'm biased, but she's basically the cutest cat there ever was. I mean COME ON.
In a couple days we have a trick-or-treating thing at the outdoor town center by us. We'll go there, trick-or-treat at the stores, listen to music, and drink cider and eat doughnuts. We're all pretty pumped for that. I'm not sure we'll actually go trick-or-treating on Halloween. I see no need for Em to get all that candy when I'll just end up eating it.
