Happy Halloween

I am not sure why but I got ZERO shots of Mallory this year at Halloween.  Maybe it was because I was focusing all my time on trying to get Maggie to wear a costume. I don't know.  Mallory was Cinderella and Maggie was Maggie.  We had an elephant costume and a kitty cat costume for her to wear and she refused to put them on.  So glad they were borrowed!

We had a lot of fun trick or treating. Before we left, we had pizza and chili next door at Kaylee's house.

Buzzy Bee's Adventures With Us

Mallory's class has a mascot named Buzzy Bee and he comes home with a different child each Tuesday. This was our week with Buzzy and Mallory was so excited to have him come home with us. Buzzy spends two nights with each child and Buzzy journals his adventures. On Thursday, Buzzy goes back to school and the teachers read what Buzzy wrote to the class.


Buzzy explored our backyard and even ate nectar from our flowers.  He flew up into the play fort and even went swinging with Mallory.


  

Buzzy wanted to show off what a good flyer he is, but he ended up getting stuck in the tree.


Mallory wanted to take her stuffed dog Ogo for a walk so I carried Buzzy in his pouch.  He was very tired and needed to rest.



Buzzy slept with Mallory.  We were nervous that his snoring/buzzing would keep her awake, but it didn't. Whew!!!


Buzzy had a great time. He was very well behaved and I told him that he could buzz on back anytime he liked.

Blase Family Farm

I recently found a Groupon for a pumpkin farm not too far from our house in Rockwall.  Matt took the day off, I packed us a sack lunch, and we headed out for some fun.



We had fun feeding the goats until one got unruly and bit both Mallory and me.






Mallory and Maggie enjoyed playing in the hay.  It was supposed to be a mini hay maze, but it was pretty beaten up. They had fun so that is all that matters.


  
We then walked up the hill and went on an actual hay ride. The girls really enjoyed it.  After the hay ride we had our sack lunch at the picnic tables.  (Everything was shaded so that made it extra nice!)  Here are some pics of the girls having more fun.  We will definitely have to come back next year.
