Halloween

Looks like I have some catching up to do...so here are some highlights.

Penelope was a cute little lady bug for Halloween! I LOVE it! I got the costume from my friend Megan at my baby shower, so i've been looking forward to her wearing it for some time now.
I wanted to get good use out of it, so she wore it several times. The above photo is of us at Target a couple days before Halloween.

While at the apple orchard, I picked up some pumpkins for our porch. I didn't want to carve them because i wanted to display them through Thanksgiving too...so i got some little ones. A daddy one, a momma one, and a baby one.


The weekend before Halloween we went to Columbus and went to the pumpkin patch with Chance's family...another opportunity for Penny to be a ladybug!


There were lots of fun fall things to do, like hayrides and games for the kids. Penny was a good sport and was pretty good about being passed around by everyone.

Then on actual Halloween, she got to be a ladybug again. We didn't do any trick-or-treating. We hung out on our front porch and passed out candy. Our neighborhood was CRAZY busy. I expected it to be busy since there are a ton of kids in our area, but I was not even close on my estimation of how much candy we'd need. I had to ask my mom to stop and get more on her way over because I was out after 45minutes! It was really fun though. I loved seeing everyone's costumes. I was a little disappointed on the creativity for the neighborhood kids' costumes this year. My favorite one i saw was an older girl (6ish) who was Bo Peep. And she had two younger girls (2ish) who were the lost sheep. It was ADORABLE! Penny enjoyed sitting on my nap on the porch chewing on a wrapped snickers most of the evening. A fun first Halloween for my Penny!
