Here is our fall so far...
At the end of September, we went on our annual trip to the Renaissance Festival with the Clements. It was as usual a lot of fun; however Elliot didn't take her nap that day so we only have one good picture of her. Her favorite part of the day was playing on the pirate themed playground!
This fall was Elliot's first trip to a pumpkin patch! Well, it was really a church's big parking lot, but she still had a great time wandering around and trying to pick up all the big pumpkins. She would have sat among the pumpkins all day if I let her. She got very upset when it was time to go.We got a pumpkin to carve and then Elliot picked out two smaller pumpkins for her and her baby brother :)
This was also Elliot's first time trick-or-treating! She was an adorable duck :) We picked that costume because it was the first animal noise she learned to do. The village in our neighborhood did a family trick-or-treating event the Saturday before Halloween. The restaurants and shops had "We have treats!" signs to show who was participating. Some places had candy, the library had free books, the cupcake shop allowed kids to decorate their own cupcake, and lots more! It was the perfect casual way to trick-or-treat with a toddler! By the end, Elliot got really good at getting candy! At first she only took one piece, and then she starting grabbing handfuls...and sometimes going back for seconds :)
During our time spent at home with hurricane Sandy, Tim and Elliot carved a great jack-o-lantern :) Elliot had no problem digging in with all the goop!
Now that you're updated, hopefully soon I'll post about the addition of our sweet baby boy :)
