Well, it's the end of November and I'm finally getting around to October. Here are some photos of what we've been up to.
At the beginning of October, Dan and I took a short, over-night trip down to Cedar City. We saw the play, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) at the Shakespeare Festival and we also went out to see the Cedar Breaks monument.
In this photo Anna is feeding Dad his corn. She thought that was a lot of fun.
Dan's parents came to visit for Dan's birthday. They brought a cheese cake and an amazingly rich chocolate cake to his birthday party. Anna loved the chocolate cake and I know I let her eat way too much cake and way too much ice cream.
We got our first significant snow in October. Lucky for Anna, I had bought her a snow coat, gloves, and snow boots the day before. At first, it was hard for Anna to walk around in her snow boots and big, puffy coat, but eventually she loved it. She also loved being pulled around in a sled with her buddy Ryelle. Benji was nice enough to pull Anna in his sled. At one point I said to him, "Wow! Benji that's looks like hard work." He shrugged and said, "It's just like dragging all my favorite things." I thought that was so cute.
Just before Halloween, my sister Christa came home from her mission to the Belgium Brussels-Netherlands mission. We all went up to the airport to wait for her to fly in and several of Christa's friends also showed up. Erica brought Christa four or five boxes of Reese's Puffs. I guess it's Christa's favorite cereal.
It's becoming a tradition in our house for Dan to carve the pumpkin. I showed Anna this picture and it freaked her out. By the way, Anna loves pumpkins. Every time she sees the color orange she says, "pumpkin?"
I made Anna's costume for Halloween. She was a butterfly, but I really wanted to make her a tutu. I also make the wings with hangers and tights. Her costume was a bit eclectic, but I had fun making it.
The other day I mentioned to Dan that Anna does a much better job of playing independently if I don't turn on the TV for her. I hate to do it, but sometimes when I really need to get something done quickly I'll turn the TV on. She mostly watches PBS kids. Anyway, that same day, Anna pulled all the books off our book shelf. Then she decided to test out her crayon on a bedroom door, and finally she unrolled a bunch of toilet paper. That was all before noon. I decided to dress her up in the tp so that's where this photo comes from.
I got to babysit a four-month old, Logan for a few hours this month. I was pretty interested in how Anna would react. When she wasn't standing over him saying "baby?," I was holding him and that made her jealous. Still she's getting a little bit better about letting other kids play with her toys. She just needs more interaction with other kids.
