halloween recap

so i'm way over halloween mentally speaking, but i know it has not been thoroughly represented on the blog. so let the picture overload ensue.

on the morning of halloween, we went to our city's fall festival. it was sooooo hot and not particularly toddler-friendly. kid-friendly, yes. toddler-friendly, no. you get the idea. so we cruised around for about 30 minutes and called it a morning. olivia spent most of the time trying to run away from us and browse the sites on her own. all that escaping made her very thirsty.

"why are you looking at me? i'm not going to try and run past you. i promise!"

"later, dudes."

halloween night was more of a success than i thought it would be considering olivia had been diagnosed with a pretty bad ear infection at urgent care the night before (lots of zombie walking around crying with her hand over her right ear for like an hour straight made it a pretty obvious). she was in a surprisingly good mood and had a lot of fun going crazy at my parents' house. they do a big thing outside for the neighborhood kids every year-- my dad plays charlie brown's halloween on a projector and makes donuts for the trick or treaters. she was obsessed with standing right in front of the screen and rummaging through my mom's candy the entire time. sadly, she would NOT let me put the earrings on her and she took no interest in the little parrot i had for her that really made the costume hilarious. but she still looks cute and piratey!

"crunch bar for me. mom, what'll you have?"

this was so cute. some people from the ward stopped by with their new baby and olivia (totally on her own) went over to him and leaned down and rocked the baby seat going, "heyyyy." hopefully a sign of her positive reaction to come when baby sister arrives??

getting down to business!

on to turkey day....we're headed to montreal to visit adam's parents so time to start packing our winter wardrobe!
