Fall Fun and the Farm

Now we are having fun. It's nice to be settled and doing fun things with my family. We made Halloween cookies for family home evening. Curly and Lou loved decorating them, though I am sure that more of the candies ended up in Lou's mouth than on cookies. Curly loved delivering the cookies. Someone "spooked" us and so we were required to pass the "spook" along by leaving a treat for other people anonymously. Curly thought it was so great to sneak up to a door, leave cookies, ring the bell and run away before they caught us. She couldn't help giggling as we ran.
Curly's preschool class took a trip to Tolmachoff farms. I decided I had to see an Arizona farm so Lou and I tagged along. It was so much fun. We picked vegetables, including a pumpkin (that I found out was not grown at the farm), the kids went on a train ride which Lou is still talking about, we found our way through a corn maze, "swam" in a corn pit (like a ball pit), pet ponies, piglets, goats, and baby chicks, and ate ice cream. What a day!

Lou is thrilled to be picking radishes!
The train ride. I though the little lady bug cars very cute.

And the BIG news of the week is that Lou is a "BIG" girl now! Potty training started out rocky, but Lou has steadily been improving. Yay for Lou!

One more must for fun. Curly and Lou think it is fall and love these darling hats that my talented cousin made for them. Unfortunately 100 degree weather is not conducive to sporting knit hats, so they wear them in the house. Oh how we miss the fall!

I love Curly's giggle. I need to learn how to make good sugar cookies. I can make bread, but sugar-cookies-making skills still allude me. I'm so glad they like the kitty hats. That makes me very happy.
