This morning I got in the Halloween spirit and got a bunch of Halloween stuff out. I dressed Gracie in her Halloween outfit, got out my decorations, and tried to make my house somewhat festive for my favorite month of the year. I also gushed for a few minutes with love and appreciation for both my mom and Justin's mom for the cute decorations that they have given me over the last few years.
I love October. I think I mostly love the feeling that fall has finally arrived. The huge tree in our front yard has seemed to drop half of its leaves in the past few days, the air is crisp yet pleasant and I can finally get back to making delicious soups and all of my fall/winter baked goods.
Anyway, this morning I emptied my Halloween box on Gracie's bed and was busy decorating when Gracie came out looking like this:
She found the glasses on her own. I was so glad when she not only posed for a picture, but wore them and carried them around for a full 15 minutes or so. Do you think a love for this holiday might be genetic?
Here are just a few pics from the park. The park is actually a school that is a few blocks from our house. We go there a few times a week after school is out and Gracie wishes she could live there. Most of the time I have to carry home a screaming, tantrum throwing child.

I love autumn too; it's my favorite season. Thanks for sharing your friend's blog. That was a very touching and well-written post. I looked for my fall decorations yesterday (I have approximately three), but unsurprisingly couldn't find them. I was sad.
I totally forgot about my Halloween decorations! Thanks for the reminder! Gracie looks cute in her Halloween shirt!
