Pumpkins, Turkeys, and Candy. The Holidays Must Be Coming!

by

It’s been an exciting couple of weeks filled with pumpkin patches, spiked cider, a little cancer walk, Blair’s first Crew game and a geez-i-wish-they-could’ve-stayed-longer-but-my-liver-doesn’t-necessarily-agree visit from our Minnesota friends =]

I’ve been going to the Pigeon Roost Farm for at least six years now with JD’s family and it’s always fun.  After the OSU victory over Purdue, we went out and this time with Blair, we spent more time with all the kid things…

she had a lot of fun looking at the turkeys…like she was studying them for an upcoming performance or something =]

she’s still got a ways to go before she maxes this out!

having a BLAST with Aunt Deanna =]

just hanging out, riding the tractor

Then there was the whole “let’s put her in a pumpkin and take a cute picture!”

All this I think is much funnier in a series of pictures…so it all started going ok…

at daycare she apparently loves playing with pumpkin “guts.” this looked promising…

stick her in the pumpkin…everything is going well…Mom cleans up the background…

within a few seconds, Blair either has seen a ghost or has realized this is a terrible experience

turns out she didn’t really like it – awww…Mom made it better though.

so there was that…

then there was a two mile breast cancer walk that ended in Ohio Stadium.  A very cool treat for our out of town guests…

this was after Dale got caught trying to sneak in an empty thermos cup…

And tonight was Halloween!  Blair didn’t score much of a haul but then again, we only went to three houses =]

Besides, she had fun playing with the bowl of candy we were giving out anyways…

do my feet look big?

all for me?! this is way better than carrots.

hmmm…what’s this?

oh no! Mom is going to eat all the candy!!

nom nom nom nom

Sick of all these pictures yet?  Sorry, got a little carried away.

I’ll spare you from the Crew ones.  But I will tell you it was a nasty, 40 degree day, and Blair was a trooper.  She tailgated with us for three hours before the game (albeit mostly in the car with Mom) but then fell asleep at halftime =]

It was fun because the camera guy came right up to her and she was on the big screen!  As Grandma said, “she’s turning into quite the media darling.”

 

Ok, just one.

it’s a bit hard to see but that’s Blair nestled under all that!
