Most of October

We have lived down the street from a McDonalds for over two years and I finally broke down and took the girls there to play one day.  No offense, but McD's playlands kind of gross me out... But, it was actually pretty clean, and I'm sure we'll go back. 


We also played at Pretend City. Boston made sure to ride every single car, motorcycle, fire truck, etc., there. The water area, as always, was the favorite.  The grocery store was a close second for Brighton. It was fun, although I don't know if I'll go back while both girls are so good at running in opposite directions.

That same day we went to a Chick Fil A in the area. They had a different play area than the other ones I've seen. It was a jungle theme, and both girls loved it. An interesting fact about that location: they only had caffeine free diet coke. (not that I had a problem with that ;)

This little princess...

...hit the jack pot when we went to Disneyland.  I've never seen any of the princesses, and we saw 3! And Mary Poppins.

Of course Brighton through complete tantrums once it was our turn for a picture. This is the only one I got.

We did have fun on a few rides too.

Next on the agenda was a field trip, with Tot Lot, to Pa's Pumpkin Patch.

 Boston's little face poking through makes me giggle every time.

My orange baby loved all of the pumpkins.

After Pa's, we again, ate at Chick-Fil-A.  This time resulting in a foot to Boston's face and a black eye :(

Our ward had our Halloween Party on the 22nd. Which at first I thought was lame, but now realize it's quite nice to have things broken up a bit. The Young Women were put in charge of the decorations, so I took on the task. I died rice yellow and black and had alternating vases on each table. Black rice with orange ribbon, yellow rice with black ribbon.  Then I did balloons around the exterior and a few pumpkins and spiders on the food table.

I had big plans to turn this Cinderella tutu into something more, but... that didn't happen.

Our princesses:  Adalie is on the right, and that is her cousin Chloe in the front.

The good news is... Brighton won the cutest girl award for the 2nd year in a row.

The bad news is... she threw herself on the floor screaming, "I don't want to win!"

After dinner, face painting, awards and tantrums, we went outside for the trunk & treating.

 

Thanks for the cute jammas Grandma!

Tot Lot threw a fun Halloween party last week. They have a lot of our events at Monte Verde park. It is so nice! It's private, small and completely gated.  There's no playground, but a fun walking trail that goes around the perimeter, and tons a running room. It would be really pretty for family pictures, FYI.

Belle and Rapunzel (Makayla)

Tot Lot is great, because this little puppy gets to come to all of the field trips and parties.

And THAT, is most of our October happenings.  The End.
