Fall Fun and the Aquarium

Wow, time is flying by this Fall! I finally got Olivia's Halloween cards addressed tonight and hopefully will get them in the mail tomorrow. I've been really bad at losing track of dates, lately. We have 2 birthday's in October and both their gifts were late (sorry Ben and Papaw!). My days are running together! :)

I am so excited for Halloween this year. Yes, I know Olivia probably still won't have a clue, but at least I can dress her up and she can walk to houses to trick or treat. Last year she slept through Halloween!





Our Mommy's group is having a Halloween Party Friday with a costume contest. I think she has a good chance of winning, because her costume is stinking adorable. And it only cost (me) about $5. We're using something she already had and borrowing something else... You'll see... :)

We woke up to this Wednesday morning:





I hope we don't have to wear our ski coats trick or treating!

We went to the aquarium today with Avry and her Mommy (Kacy). We were last there in May when Mom visited (they were 9 months old). What a difference! An aquarium is the perfect place for toddlers. All the exhibits are right at their level and noone gets mad if they touch the glass. It wasn't very crowded, so we let them out of the stroller and they had a blast!



Lots of pointing and "Hi!!!" (to every fish).



Doing a little climbing:



And sitting:





Avry wasn't in the mood for pictures today- not even with Mom!



We turned a corner and saw this tank. Olivia just plopped down and watched the fish for the longest time!





Watching the sting rays, but they were more interested in splashing the water.



Lots of fun!

And last, but not least, I finished Aiden't Viking hat.





It was also my first hat with earflaps, which I thought turned out great! Now he can go pillage or whatever vikings do...
