Our first trick or treating

Well it wasn't Peyton's first halloween this year but it was her first time to trick or treat. As well as my first time going door to door in a neighborhood and our first time in our neighborhood. It was pouring down rain that morning so we weren't really sure if we'd get to go. We had a halloween party with our playgroup, Peyton tied for 2nd place in the halloween costume contest. I mean she should have won :) but we know the winner and we are happy he won :)

A little pre-Halloween photo session:

Hmm..this sign is pretty neat

Heading out for a pre-trick or treating Mexican meal!

Saying "Boo"

Pumpkin rice krispie treats!

Pumpkin carving this year did not go as well as last year. Peyton was not into carving but rather running around playing. She did enjoy taking all the seeds & guts out.

We tried to put her in the pumpkin this year..
she did NOT like it. 

Her favorite part was taking the candy out of the bag and putting it back in.

Fall 2013

We are so excited for this fall season. Peyton is walking and talking and so aware of everything that we can't wait to take her to the places on our October to-do list.

In our new house this year requires a bit more decorations (oh-darn). Peyton loves our scarecrow we put outside and waves to it everyday when we leave.

Whoo's ready for fall?

We did a little fall photo and someone had a blast! Especially holding her own baby pumpkin

I want to hold this one

Yep..we are gonna be in trouble

 This years October Bucket List:
-Go to a pumpkin patch: this is a given and we already have plans to visit a couple with our mommy group and just ourselves
-Go through a corn maze: last year she slept the entire time
-Make Peyton's costume: started today and boy is it going to be cute!
-Trick or Treat: this year we are in a real neighborhood! Now if I can get her to say "trick or treat" ;)
-Find a pumpkin spice latte recipe just like Starbucks: paying $5 hurts when you want it all the time.
-Take a drive to the country: don't know exactly where in the country
-Take our family picture with an amazing photographer! I'm really excited because the photographer we are using actually contacted me to do a photo shoot just for Peyton's Lane. I looked through her work and she is wonderful! So I'm really really excited about our family pictures and Peyton's Lane's first photo shoot!
