Halloween

Aurora went trick or treating with her cousin Luke. She got a ton of candy.

Carving Pumpkins and decorating cookies

Last Monday we carved pumpkins and decorated Halloween cookies for Family Home Evening. Aurora really hated cleaning the "guts" out of her pumpkin. She picked a white one this year. I let her draw the face and then I carved it out for her.

Halloween at the Wild Animal Park

On the 24th we went to the Wild Animal Park for their Halloween thing. It was OK. They had a few crafts and some trick or treating and some carnival games. Aurora liked it. Here are a few pictures from it. There was a bridge that led over to the games and they had a "troll" under it that scared Aurora at first, because she did not know he was there.

Yesterday Aurora and I went to the zoo for a little bit. Here are two cute picture I took of her.
This one she was trying to smell the flower.

This is a mother peacock and her three babies that came up to Aurora. All four of them came right un to her.


I let her take the camera and take what ever pictures she wanted to take. Some of them are reall good. It is funny to see what she took pictures of. I put them into a slideshow for anyone who wants to see them.

I could not get the slideshow to post on here so here is the link to it:

Sewing

I decided to make myself an apron. I think it turned out OK. I was off on the measurements and it is kind of big, but it will work. The hand towel is removable and I can change it to match the season. I think I like it.

What post would not be complete without a picture or two of Aurora. My mom made her this shawl and I added a snap on it so it will stay closed. I love it and so does Aurora. It is so soft and cuddly.

"Running" through sprinklers

Twice a week the gardener waters the lawn with a homemade sprinkler system. One of those days is Wednesday. Every Wednesday we go to church for a play group and on the way home Aurora asked to "run" through the sprinklers. She walks up to them and squats in the middle until she is soaking wet. It is funny to watch and she loves it. Here are some pictures of her "running" through the sprinklers

Walking home.

Hair

Aurora's hair is finally long enough to braid. It is still pretty thin, but she loves to have it braided. She also likes to have pigtails and a ponytail using my hair ties. Here are some pictures of her hair styles.
