October was a lot of fun. In fact, I still want to go trick or treating. And while I already miss the Halloween lights, Mommy tells me more lights will be up soon.

It had been a while, so Mommy took more purple chair photos. I have really grown, right? Magical!

We went to the Burke Pumpkin Festival. While I had fun, let me tell you all to skip it. Just go to Cox Farms. We will go back there next year.

Mommy still has not picked a new car. She said she had to check out the new new beetle.

Mommy and I like to make pizza. Mommy made the pizza sauce herself and it was yummy (and chock full of veggies I otherwise refuse to eat).

Daddy helped me paint pumpkins on Columbus Day. It was a lot of fun.

At Pop Pop's work picnic a few weeks ago, I made a mask. I took every opportunity to wear it this October.

Mommy bought me a UVA chearleading dress. The day I wore it UVA won, Mommy took more purple chair pictures, and I attended the Fire House Open House. It was my half birthday. I am now 2.5. Per my pediatrician, I am now in the 21st percentile for height.

Daddy took me to my friend Sean's birthday party. It was a lot of fun. Gymboree is not the Little Gym though...

Grandma Lyn, Pop Pop, Mommy, Daddy, and I went to Disney on Ice. It was everyone's first time going. Thanks to Grandma, we had great seats. We saw Rapunzel, Cinderella, Tiana, and Minnie Mouse -- to name a few.

It snowed! I know I haven't been around that long, but even I know it is not supposed to snow in October!

Since it was snowing, Ms. Marian's neighborhood Halloween parade was cancelled. So, with a lot of other people, we went to Air & Scare at Udvar Hazy. I think it would have been great with less people and more candy stations. Afterwards, we all had dinner at Grandma Lyn and Pop Pop's house. Mommy made a cake.

I won't say we waited to the last minute to get a pumpkin, because we saw lots of other people at the pumpkin patch when we bought our pumpkin on October 30. Mommy carved the pumpkin after I went to bed.

Pop Pop and Mommy came to walk in my school parade. I got candy! It was a chilly day, so I wore my sweater over my dress. My class was full of characters. (Isn't it always?)

Grandma Lyn and Pop Pop came over to celebrate Halloween with Mommy and I. Pop Pop, Mommy, and I went Trick or Treating. I was really scared, but I did not want to go back home. I like when people give me candy. Of course, after coming home and going through my loot, I asked for pretzels!
