October 09

October is a really fun month when you're a kid in Sonoma County! We're surrounded by beauty, including several beautiful pumpkin patches! We also have a wonderful annual Harvest Fair at our local fairgrounds with kid rides, giant pumpkins and good fair food. Yum! Of course, you can't mention October without including Halloween. Chase declared early on that he wanted to be Buzz Lightyear and I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to have a little Buzz and Woody running around my house! They looked so cute in their costumes. Other activities included "Trunk or Treat" at our church and Chase's school has a Halloween parade with all the kids and we had fun attending that as well. The night of Halloween Chase decided he had had enough of the Buzz costume and decided to wear a fireman costume for trick or treating, then after hitting only a few houses he declared that he wanted to go home. He was so focused on the candy that since he had some in his bag he wanted to go home and eat it instead of going to more houses and getting even more candy. Silly kid! Doug and I also were invited to a costume party and decided to dress up as Peter Pan and Wendy...after they left Neverland, it was pretty funny.
