I’m too lazy to break this up into multiple posts. So, this is going to be a photo heavy one, but what else is new?
The week before last, Craig’s mother came for her annual fall week long visit. We tried to plan it around ZooBoo again, same as last year. We met up with our friend, Jessica, and her son, Mason. Mason is still a little guy, he is only seven months old, but it was so great to have them along. It really amazes me what a year does to a child. She really got the whole trick-or-treating concept. She keeps asking us if it’s Halloween yet, so she can go again.
We also went back to Letchworth State Park, this time for a picnic and to check out the fall foliage. It was chilly at first, but warmed up as the day went along. The colors were absolutely beautiful.
Because, I just love any reason to do a project with D, we decorated a gingerbread house.  She did pretty good with sticking it out. She especially enjoyed adding the candies to the icing.
Saturday, we went back to Powers Farm to pick out our pumpkins. And, because I can’t just pick one photo of my girl with the pumpkins you get four.
Sunday, the fam sat down and we carved our pumpkins. Here is Dagny trying to figure out what her design will be.
The final product. We waited for it to get dark, which isn’t a long wait now of days, and got them all lit up.
On a sad note, last week, my close friend’s Mother passed away from a lengthy battle with MS. This evening we drove out to East Syracuse to pay our respects. It breaks my heart that my friend is hurting, because I unfortunately know very well the pain that comes with losing a parent.
