Trick or Treat!!!

Chloe has had a vocabulary explosion. She is coming up with new words all the time. Things that you would not expect and Jon and I just look at each other wondering...she is repeating ever word she hears and just has it down. Slowly starting to get two words together sometimes. She has been doing realy well at her toddler room in daycare and seems to really be enjoing the songs, activities and crafts. Tonight she busted out singing, in her toddler way, twinkle twinkle...what?!
She has such a personality all ready. But she also has quite the temper...takes after Jon of course...ha!........When she doesnt get her way she is not happy and trys to hit. We have started time out with her which she of course has put her own twist on in. If I say she is being naughty and should go to time out she says "uh huh" and takes herself there! every day is something different and new.
"Grandma Julie" who I work with gave her a goodie bag of treats for Halloween with a coloring book and crayons and this is her new obsession! " lolur, lolur" she says over and over! 6:30 am on the weekend and she is asking to lolur! She loves the crayons and drawing. She even holds the crayon right!!
Below are some pics at our poor attempt to trick or treat. It was cold and she was not interested in the whole thing. It was all we could do to get her costume on and have a photo op.....

We went to my friend Jill's neighborhood with more little kids. We tried a few houses until we met up with a scary barking dog, and that was it!!

More Fall Fun!!!

Chloe had a "hoe down" at school the friday before halloween. They had some anmals come in and just had a nice day full of activities. I tried to put her in her best "hoe down" outfit I had. So I attempted some braids which she screamed her head off at with a cute skirt and peasant top. Rave reviews from all. They were having pony rides and I thought we should warn the teacher about how she gets freaked out around animals. So I told them of course try but dont be suprised if she becomes hysterical...which has happened with poor bacchus.....of course she RODE THE PONY!!!! of course she would. Mom and dad werent there. Her teacher said she had a blast!!!

Halloween Day we are off to Becker Farms. Another local favorite farm, this is at least and actual farm. It was so nice there, however it was very windy and cold......

Nice vineyards. There is wine tasting on site, its part of the Niagara Wine Trail, as well as a brewery on site. We had a nice time drinking hot cider and eating fresh homemade donuts.

Here is the little one trucking around the farm and chacking thinks out. There was a little kid area with farm rides and things but it was closed so we checked the place out. There was a animal place....

With a PONY!!! As you can see, she wants nothing to do with the poor pony...she had JUST ridden one the day before!!!

On our way home relaxing from the stress of the pony and goats!

Pumpkin Carving!

Here is our Wegmans Pumpkin!! We tried to get Chloe excited to carve a pumpkin this year....she did not enjoy herself and wished very much to be somewhere else. She was often asking to get down, all done...over and over in the hopes of getting out of her chair!!

She could care less. She didnt want to touch anything. She is just like her mother and does not like to get her hands dirty or messy!

At one point she had her head in her hands yawning as if to say how bbboorrrrrriinnnngg....she unfortunatly moved when I tried to get that picture,

Finished product, we lit it up but hard to see here.

We baked the seeds and they were so yummy!

Fall Fun!!!

I decided we should head out to a pumpkin patch one wonderful sunny sunday to experience some fall fun. I had heard of a place called The Great Pumpkin Farm close to where I work, so though, why not.....it started out looking like a neat place. The parking lot that was the size of a lot a Ralph Wilson stadium should have given us a clue...there were people everywhere!! It was loud and totally not our scene, we turned a corner and there was a carnival! Not expected at all, we were instantly all three of us with high anxiety. But we decided to stick it out for Chloe's sake, who was not really into it either!

attempting to get a picture. She was not to interested in it. We were going to get some pumpkins but the lines were 50 people long to wait despite the people coming out with wheel barrels full of pumpkins!!

Chloe finally letting lose and being a little silly.....

My thoughts of a nice fall picture did not materialize. It was all we could do to get this one accomplished.

Just a small taste of the pumkins everywhere! There is the carnival behind. In the end we got a pumpkin from wegmans that was half the price with no line!! Go Wegmans!!
