October Fun

Olivia loves Halloween! I think it might be her favorite holiday, so we tried to have a fun October full of Halloween activities.
Olivia and I spent the whole month making Halloween decorations, ghosts, bats, spider webs, we ended up with a pretty spooky apartment. She waited until grandfather's visit to make her favorite decoration with him: the scarecrow.

Olivia was so excited to go to her friend's Halloween party. She wasn't quite sure why she was wrapping toilet paper around some of her friends' nannies, but she really enjoyed the party.



On the way home from the party she walked while looking behind her. When we were almost home she asked, "do you what to know why I keep looking behind me?" I asked her why. She explained that she had to make sure no candy fell out of her treat bag on the walk home. There was no doubt all of the candy made it home safely.



We had big plans to rent a car and drive upstate to go to an apple orchard and pumpkin farm to do some picking. Those plans were becoming more and more complicated so we decided we would go to a pumpkin farm the NYC way, which was going to the big greenmarket at Union Square. It definitely didn't have the country feel like we were originally hoping, but we were able to successfully get some pumpkins.
