Pumpkin Patch & Halloween

Better late than never, right? A few weeks ago, we made the trip just outside town to our local pumpkin patch. Last year, Nora was too little to go down the slides, pet the animals, etc. But this year, we were excited to show her everything the farm had to offer. We went at 4 p.m. on a weekday (thanks to our awesomely flexible work schedules) and had the whole place to ourselves!

Nora was especially interested in the goats, though she didn't want to pet any of the animals. She did later pet a goat when we visited the zoo, so maybe she's getting more brave. She also loved the corn maze (thankfully one of the workers clued us in to the short route so we didn't get stuck in there with a toddler who was over it!). But her favorite part was the slides. This girl could slide all day long.

A little happier than last year

Nora also enjoyed Halloween this year. I made her little witch costume and my mom bought her the tank that says "casting a spell of cuteness." I love how it turned out!

We made good use of her costume since we went to the downtown Norman Fall Fest with friends, dress-up day and baby parade through the city offices during the weekly library music time and then trick-or-treating with Grayson!

looking in the mail slot - this was completely unposed!

Nora loved trick-or-treating! She giggled and ran from house to house putting candy in her basket.
