Dallas Arboretum Pumpkin Patch

Ok, I think this is the last pumpkin patch picture but I won't promise. We went with Erin and Aubrey to the Dallas Arboretum today and Aunt Kim (almay) met us there also. They have Mommy and Me Monday so it was packed. You have never seen so many strollers. They also have fun storybook houses you can go in. We had a picnic there. Good trip even though Brooklyn was so sad to see Almay go home. It was such a beautiful day!

Family Pumpkin Patch Outing

The Mom's league had it annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch. Stella did good and Brooklyn did not want to leave of course. Brooklyn loved the bounce houses and made several trips down the slide. We got a few good photos. Stella is easier to photograph than Brooklyn at this point. You just have get her to look at you. There are a lot of pictures because I could not choose between them. Mainly a lot of good ones of Stella and Brooklyn is in action in most of them.

Lucky 07's at the zoo

We made a 2nd trip to the zoo since Stella. We went with our playgroup. It was better than the first one with 2 but still hard. Everyone was very good until we had to wait in line to get food. Once we started eating everyone was calm again. Brooklyn had another meltdown when we left. She always cries everytime we leave somewhere. All and all it was a good outing.

Duncan Family visit

Clint, Evelyn, and Fiona made a quick visit to Dallas. I am sorry it had to be so short. Fiona is just 2 weeks younger than Stella. Brooklyn, Stella, and Fiona will be hanging out a lot in the years to come. Brooklyn loved Fiona. Stella was old news. She was very concerned about where Fiona was the whole time. Fiona was crawling at 6 months and Stella is a little jealous she can't move yet!!!

Aubrey's birthday party

Brooklyn and I went to Aubrey's birthday party at the pumpkin patch. Laird stayed home with Stella. It was pretty chilly but really good pumpkin patch weather. October is just a great month for a birthday! I don't think I ever realized that as a child with an October birthday. The birthday party was so much fun. We went on a hayride, fed cows and donkeys, did a lot of sliding, and went through a corn maze. Brooklyn did not want to leave. Lots more pumpkin patch pictures to come over the next few weeks!

Playdate with Milla

Since the rest of our playgroup went to see a play we invited Milla over for a playdate. We played and baked Halloween cookies. We put icing, chocolate chips and sprinkles on them. Brooklyn loved the cookies! Thanks Ashlee for bringing over cookies!

Oktoberfest in Fredericksburg

We went to Fredericksburg last weekend for Oktoberfest. The car ride there and back was pretty bad with Stella. She does not sleep much and screams for the last 30 min-1 hr.

On Saturday morning it was raining but we went to Oktoberfest and battled the rain. We actually had a good time with Brooklyn and Nonna and Poppy stayed with Stella. We did the chicken dance and the hokey pokey which is Brooklyn's favorite. We also got her a tutu and butterfly wings from one of the vendors for $14. Those are usually expensive. We tried to get her face painted but she was not having any of that.

We also went to a restaurant, Hill Top Cafe Saturday night outside Fredericksburg and it was excellent food. It was real rustic and had some live music. We had a good time with Heather and Clint.
