This month has really gotten away from me, I have been behind in my blogging. Not sure where the month of October has gone. We went up to Oklahoma the first of the month to celebrate our nephew Cohen's 2nd birthday and to meet our new niece Lyla. We stayed out at the lake and the girls had a wonderful time running around, fishing, riding on the boat, and playing with family. It was wonderful to be able to help celebrate Cohen's birthday with the family and to finally meet sweet little baby Lyla.

The rest of the month has just flown by. Some of the highlights include going on a walk/hike in Fort Worth on a Saturday morning and running into a Cattle drive with thirty or so horses leading 20 longhorns down the Trinity River . It was a exciting little glimpse into the world of a cowboy for the girls. It was a nice treat we stumbled upon on our little family adventure on a random Saturday morning. Chad and I agreed that if we had tried to plan the same experience and timing it would never had worked the same way. Sometimes things just work out like that when you least expect it.

Chad and I were able to attend our first OU/Texas game since children. We had so much fun being adults for a day and seeing old friends. It was a great game despite Oklahoma's lost. However, we were very happy to come home and see our girls and put them to bed. Funny how priorities change over the years.

It has been a very rainy month of October, but one Saturday we managed to sneak in a trip to the pumpkin patch. We are so lucky to have such a wonderful pumpkin patch right across the street from us. They have a corn maze that is right on the corner of the intersection we drive by ever day and Morgan loves to watch the corn grow and grow. She knows that as it gets taller it is almost time to go the pumpkin patch. The girls had a wonderful time despite the cold air. Lots of pumpkins to play with, farm animals to see, slides to go down, tractors to ride, popcorn to eat, hay mazes to navigate through, and much more to keep the girls entertained. Maybe next year we will make it through the corn maze and on the hay ride.

Chad's office had a Halloween party for all the children last weekend. The girls had a test run in their costumes. Morgan is Snow White this year. She actually has been dressing up as snow white all month long. Some days she wakes up and says..."I am not Morgan...I am Princess Snow White." She tells every stranger that she meets that her name is Snow White. At school there is a snow white costume that she puts on every day as well. I think it is amazing how the little mind gets so set on one idea.

Halloween is in a few days and I can't wait to take the girls trick or treating. I know Morgan remembers it from last year and she is very excited. We only made it to a few houses last year, I will be interested to see how many houses we make it to this year. I know Hattie will be right behind her sister running up to the doors to ring the door bell. More pictures to come after trick or treating!
