Pumpkin Carving

The nasty weather didn't stop our pumpkin carving plans yesterday! Bethany and Jonas are the neatest pumpkin carvers I know. Hardly any clean up required! By the way, the bottom left picture is Bethany's "scary" face.

Halloween Preview

Last weekend we were in Columbus for the big Penn State game. It didn't end the way we wanted, but we enjoyed our fellowship with the Tree people, as I call them. We also had a failed attempt at Trunk-or-Treating, which is ok, because it means you get to finally see my girls dressed up! Check out Mommy Bear and Baby Bear. (Papa Bear was back home in Buffalo!)

Trunk or Treat!

On Sunday Bethany got to go Trick or Treating! Trinity had an event called "Trunk or Treat" where the kids could walk around the parking lot and collect candy from all the cars. Bethany was a natural trick-or-treater. She grabbed as much candy as she could and stashed it in her pumpkin!

Too Late

We switched Bethany over to 6-9 month clothes yesterday. Look what was in there! Too bad we didn't do this a couple of days earlier.

Pebbles

Just thought this little side-by-side comparison might be fun. Does Bethany make a great Pebbles or what?

Trick or Treat

Bethany's first Halloween!!! She had lots of fun trick-or-treating. Here's the basic rundown of our day:
1:00 We started out trying to figure out how my little Pebbles was going to have the little poof of hair on top of her head.
2:00 Yay! All ready to start our adventure!2:30 First stop - visiting Daddy at work. All his co-workers thought Bethany was the most adorable baby in the world. I would have to agree.3:00 Off to UB to show everyone our fun costume. We visited with my school group, and got stopped plenty of times by admirers! Then we bundled up for the long walk back to the car!5:30 Met up with Bamm-Bamm (aka Jonas) and Aunt Sarah. Had a little bit of a photo shoot, and dinner, before heading out again.7:00 Off to Aunt Marie and Uncle Larry's . They were having a little party in their garage with all their neighbors. Apparently Pebbles is not a good costume to be wearing if you're actually going to be outside. Bethany had to cuddle up with Grandma. (And Mommy got some candy!)7:30 Next stop: The Center to see Great Grandma. Bethany had to visit all of Great Gram's friends and pose for more pictures. We did a little line dancing, and Mom got some more candy before heading out.8:30 Final Stop: Jonas' grandma's. She had LOTS of fun Halloween decorations that lit up and made cool sounds. Bethany thought it was all very cool. Once again, Mom stocked up on candy before leaving for home!9:00 Bethany got home, had a bottle, and went right to sleep. Now Mom and Dad can enjoy the benefits of Bethany's trick-or-treating. I love having a baby.
