Fall is Here!

Fall is here!  The leaves have (strangely) been falling off our trees for a while, but lately there are tons of leaves on the ground so I thought it'd be a perfect opportunity to have Morgan help me rake up some leaves and also have some fun with them!




We had fun burying her legs and feet and then finding them underneath the leaves.

Grandma visits

Morgan's grandma from Chicago came to visit for a week over Halloween.  It was so fun to have her here.  We lucked out and had amazing weather.  We got to show her Morgan's preschool, take her to Morgan's Halloween parade and she helped us hand out candy on Halloween night.

Come back soon!

Halloween

Turns out that Morgan is not a huge fan of dressing up!  In fact, the picture below pretty much sums up her attitude towards it!  In all fairness though, Morgan was actually very sick on Halloween so she was a good sport for wearing the costume at all.





Below is a picture of Morgan trick-or-treating.  I helped her go to a few houses to get candy, but I don't think she understood what was going on so she wasn't very into it and after a (short) while, it felt strange to be holding her basket asking my neighbors for candy when clearly Morgan was not into it.


Here she is happy to be home...she probably knows that I will let her take off her costume now!

Ahhh.... a lightbulb went off!  Morgan saw us hand out candy to a few kids and she figured out what Halloween is all about.  She ran to get her basket and was trick-or-treating up a storm... at our house!  She kept saying "one more" and putting another piece in her bag.  It was super cute to watch!



Then she took over at the door and handed out candy to probably a hundred or so kids as they came by (except the super scary ones..mama helped with those).  All in all it was a very fun night.  Until 3 am when Morgan proved just how sick she was!
