Happy Halloween

Well Lily refused to wear her Ladybug costume today so instead of trick or treating at Liberty Square, we just stayed home to pass out candy.

She had so much fun opening the door and talking to all the kids that stopped by! Everytime the doorbell rang, she thought it was her friend, Alexa coming over to play!!

We had less than 20 people stop by...but it was an interesting crowd. A little Dracula actually just walked right on in and came upstairs--he never asked for candy, but he did ask what movie we were watching. I gave him a few pieces of candy, but he still stuck around for another minute or two just checking the place out and talking to Lily. Eventually, I turned him around by his shoulders and redirected him back to his parents, who were waiting inside their car.

It certainly wasn't that I minded having him around...but I did wonder if he's had that stranger-danger talk yet?? After that, I decided to lock the door.

Family day at the Alldredge Orchards & Pumpkin Patch

We spent the afternoon at Alldredge Orchards and Lily had such a great time! She played on the wooden playground, in the wooden play house, she pet the animals, she picked an apple, and we took a short hay ride!

I recommend this place to anyone in KC who has children because it's very relaxed and the prices are really low! We came home with two large pumpkins, two corn stalks, and a jar of apple butter for $15! We also enjoyed the best piece of apple pie with our lunch in their cafe!!

She was having soooo much fun running around, that she refused to sit nicely for a picture!

We crossed paths with this hen after our hay ride, and Lily really wanted to hold the poor thing. She followed this hen through the orchard, under the bushes...Lily's shirt eventually got stuck on branches before she finally gave up!

We brought two pumpkins from the patch, but traded them in for some pre-cut pumpkins back at that barn when we got ready to pay.

Temporarily breaking from her chicken chase, Lily picked a tiny apple off a low branch.

Lily's daycare took a field trip to the pumpkin patch today where everyone got to pick out their own pumpkin to bring home!
