Autumntastic

As a Portland girl, all of this rain doesn't bother me one bit. I just throw on my rain boots and my rain coat and Dad, Clara and I go tromping out into cool fall weather. Of course the rain we get is nothing like the rain Mema and Poppop got on Monday. I'm glad to hear they are okay, hopefully they can clean up NYC before I go visit there. I am going to be on Broadway someday after all.

Before the rains hit, we spent some time at the Independence Hop and Heritage Festival. Guess what I found! TRACTORS!!! I think Daddy wanted to take this one home to mow the grass.

While we were in town, we tried to get the rest of the tomatoes off of Grandpa's vines. But their were too many. I sure did my part though, I ate a whole bunch!

And then it was time to shuck the corn for dinner. We had a grand harvest feast, it was also somebody's birthday hmm, I wonder how old Mommy is now... I wouldn't put her a day past 29!!

I found out about these cool places called pumpkin patches. They're like a party, with great rides like these cool big trikes.

And GIGANTIC towers of hay for climbing. We also founds some pumpkins to take home for decoration. Daddy says we should be making some pumpkin pie. I see him drooling every time we pass those huge ones at Costco.

It's starting to get pretty chilly at night, so Clara and I are wearing our nice footie pajamas. They are so warm and cozy. We really like cuddling up with whomever wants to read us a story. Grandma is one of our favorite story tellers.

Since it's raining, we have to find things to keep us entertained. Now Stout, he likes to catch up on sleep pretty much all day. Clara on the other hand thinks it's fun to see how many places she can squeeze her head into. Most of the time she gets stuck. She's a goofball.

This year I got to show Clara what Halloween was all about. We got dressed up in our cool costumes. I was a cow MOOOO!!!! and Clara was a cupcake, which I don't get, that kid is always covered in food anyway, why buy her a costume. Isn't this a great picture of the 3 of us?

Well this is how most of our pictures come out!!! Dad is generally a good blog editor, so you never see these...

Pretty darn cute if I do say so myself

Clara is pretty cute too. Did I mention she's walking now? That kid is all over the place, it's hard to keep up.

Well it was another successful heist, I mean Trick or Treating adventure. I can't wait to see what we'll be next year...
