Bulking Up

Yesterday I came from the doctor to find that Avery had insisted on wearing every piece of clothing she could find in the family room. We just happened to have quite a bit of clothing in the family room because she had opened some birthday presents the night before, and I in my extreme laziness left them on the couch. She has on a dress, a pair of pajamas, another pajama shirt that she had around waist like a skirt, a long sleeved shirt, and then her new Yo Gabba Gabba t-shirt to top it all off. Needless to say she was very warm the whole day.

Avery at Lunch

This is Avery having lunch the other day. She wouldn't let me take the monkey away, but insisted he lunch with her. The only reason you don't see him in the last picture is because he is stuffed down low right by her. Avery also insisted on having lunch like a big girl at the table instead of her seat. Enjoy!

Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch

As you can see we took Avery to Maris Farms in Buckley like last year. I can't resist the pumpkin patch.

Avery with pumpkins her size.

A vain attempt to take a family picture. Look I'm pregnant!

I think Avery is pointing at the chickens. It might be pheasants though. She enjoyed all the animals there. She even fed the goats.

The corn room. Who wouldn't want to play in a giant room full of dried corn? Avery enjoyed every second.

Yet more proof that Avery has gotten over her fear of slides. She could have gone on that thing all day.

Avery on a toy tractor. Notice the intense concentration.

Halloween Fun!

Avery was a ladybug for Halloween and loved her costume. We went to our ward's Trunk or Treat on Saturday only to discover that the camera's memory card was at home in the computer. A classic Rachel move. Fortunately we went to our friends' Halloween "Dinner" last night. This is Avery and Harmon Trick or Treating. Thank goodness Harmon could say Trick or Treat. Avery was really happy to merely knock on the doors. She would have happily knocked on doors and gone her merry way. Harmon tried to infuse her with his Halloween enthusiasm, but it was mostly lost on her. She was really excited when a nice Ukrainian lady who had never experienced Halloween before apologetically handed out cookies to Avery and Harmon since she ran out of candy. They were way more excited about cookies than candy.
Avery just barely fit into her car seat with her costume on after some adjustments. She looked so cute and puffy.
We left a bowl of candy in front of our door before we left for our dinner last night.

We got back home around eight-thirty last night and the bowl was predictably empty. Usually we don't get very many Trick-or-Treaters, so hopefully one greedy child didn't take everything and ruin it for the rest of the kids. We only had two additional Trick-or-Treaters after we got home. We had a pretty good Halloween though. There will be a separate post about the pumpkin patch.
