Oh, October

You were such a busy month.  I (finally) ran out of free blog space so I had to figure out how to keep this blog going.  Now I can catch up you up on the last half of the month...

We continued to play and jump in the leaves and enjoy gorgeous weather.  I took this picture of Magnolia as I watched her play and realized soon...
She would turn FOUR!!!
Her last ballet class of the season was on her birthday.  
A small recital was held to show what was learned.
I was so proud of her!
She listened so well to her teacher, Miss Ceci.
After that we went home to eat Chinese food and her birthday cake.  
I made it exactly as she asked, complete with swedish fish!  
Then she had her school Halloween party.  She went as a purple horse.  
With Jillian, Lydia, Meg, and Elena
And her whole class including teachers; Mrs. Fox and Mrs. Freiding
For Halloween we had a puppy dog and kitty cat.
I think I handed out close to 500 pieces of candy.  It was a nonstop flow of kids!
We let these two eat A LOT of candy.
By the time they came home they were ready eat dinner and didn't ask for their candy for days!
This week Magnolia tripped and fell, smacking her head into the coffee table.  It sliced her ear.  Away we went to Urgent Care for two stitches.  George took her to our town bakery for a donut afterwards.  Later that day she came down with the stomach flu.  Poor thing, what a day!
