So I realize that it is now December but here are some pics from Halloween. We did decide that sharp knives and toddlers are not a good combination so we let Evie paint her pumpkin.

She loved painting her pumpkin although she does not look really happy in this picture.

Color mixing requires intense concentration. Especially when you just ate some paint.

Evie decided to help us scrape out our pumpkins and she also decided when we had scraped enough stuff out of our pumpkins. Meaning that she picked up her favorite pieces of pumpkin guts and tried to put them back in the pumpkins.

Here are our Jack-o-Lanterns. 

Evie loved runnning around the house in her Halloween costume. She was a ballerina forHalloween and most of the week after.

A week in October

 Here are the pictures that are new on our camera this week.  As you can see Evie got a hold of the camera and has been trying her hand at taking pictures.

 There were more pictures by Evie but I decided that the others weren't as interesting as the corner of the wall here.

 Blowing raspberries on the mirror (oh, after she pulled the mirror off the wall.

I know she is cute and needs a hair cut or someone to do her hair.

We had to get a video of this. It is so cute. Future Evie blame this one on your mother.

Highlights (pictures included)

Hi, remember us.  Our summer has been pretty busy and fun.  In May we got to see Broadway's Wicked, it was awesome.  We didn't move in May this year  YAY,  but Evie did have her first birthday.  I can't believe a whole year has gone by.  

 Here is her birthday "cake"

 She wasn't sure about the candle.

 But she was sure about the frosting on the cupcake.

 and the rest of the cupcake.

 OK, she really liked it.

  She got a TON of presents, thank you everybody, we got her a dragon. It is possibly the most annoying musical toy ever, but luckily the batteries aren't needed to play with it.  

The following are of Evie's photo shoot, there are a lot more and they are all my favorite, but I figure anyone beside me might just get bored if I put them all up. 

Oh, and we bought a house.  We moved in July, it is so, so nice.  I am excited to paint and decorate it when I ever decide on colors and such. I haven't taken pictures yet but here is part of our back yard.  We moved in too late to plant the garden, thus, this is what it is.

 Can you see that thing thriving in the garden?

 How about now?

Well here it is.  Evie likes to play in the garden.  Mostly the dirt clods and fallen berries.

 Evie's hair is getting so long, I attempt to do it every now and again.

 So far, this is my best attempt. 

She has some wild hair most evenings.

I think that our putting Evie in boxes as we packed gave her the idea that she can climb into anything, because that is what she does.

 Oh, and she loves her baby doll.

Well, 'till next time.
