Spook Alley

A family in our neighborhood put on a not so spooky spook alley as a fundraiser every year.  It is super lame for adults, but we decided to take a walk over there on Friday and check it out. It was super lame. Quinn liked it though, she said it was a little spooky and a lot of fun. When we got home, we realized that we had locked ourselves out of the house.  Ha ha.  We suck. Patti saved the day. :-). 

Pumpkin Patch

Quinn and I met VaRonica, Alice, and Dean at a pumpkin patch the other night. There was a special event going on through VaRonica's realtor's group.  They had hot chocolate, donuts, face painting, and pumpkins. It was the perfect fall evening.  The kids had a blast. I think we were all smiling ear to ear the whole time.

Quinn and her Picasso inspired witch. I am making them with my class tomorrow and Quinn was my test run. It turned out so well.  

Symphony

Quinn got a keyboard from Deanie.  The other day she announced she was writing a symphony. She brought the keyboard, her Frozen notebook, and a pen outside and got to work. 

Homecoming!

We celebrated the 5th anniversary of Quinn's homecoming on October 1.   It is always serves as a reminder as how much time passed between her birthday and her finally coming home and even how much time passed between even her due date and her homecoming.  

We kept it simple.  School, McDonalds for lunch for a Hotel Transylvania toy, a cupcake from Ali and Olive, and Ladies night with Titi and me. 

Witches

We went over to Gardner Village yesterday to check out the witches after our plans changed. We usually go on a Sunday, when all the shops are closed.  Oh boy, it was busy, but still fun.  Quinn is at a truly magically age and she makes it all so fun.

Then at bedtime, we all got into our bone jammies from last year. (Quinn's shirt is a bit of a schmedium, but it will work for one more month.)
