October Means Fall Festivities

We finally attended the annual Pumpkin Fest in downtown Franklin. The pumpkin roll was entertaining and there were a lot of vendors set up in the street.

Lydia enjoyed her M&M's on the curb waiting to get her face painted.

 How cute is that?!?!

My cousin's daughter turned 7 and Lydia and I were lucky enough to get an invitation to the party at Big Bear Park. The weather was slightly uncooperative, but the food and company were GREAT!


Happy Birthday Lily!



Spicy Doritos



Chocolate Icing

Warm rock to nap on

 There was a pinata!



Later that evening, we attended Trunk or Treat at our church. Lydia was dressed as the most adorable cow ever. The costume even mooed!

 

The lollipops with colored bugs were a big hit with Lydia.

Gotta love an inflatable jump house.

Hope was a beautiful princess



Some other things that happened in October:

Lydia put stickers all over her face.

She can now move her chair to the sink by herself to wash hands and dishes. 

 We saw at least 16 deer on the way to my parents one evening. These two are competing for territory or a female or the best dining spot.

Joey's Birthday

Joey turned 28 while we were at the beach. We celebrated by going out to dinner in Apalachicola then sunset pictures near the lighthouse. Upon returning to the house, we built a fire on the beach and roasted marshmallows and made s'mores. (That was a first for everyone!) I think he had a pretty good day.

The moon was full this week and was absolutely beautiful.

Yes, they sang three-part harmony to songs on the beach.
