It is getting close to Halloween. Peanut has two costumes to choose from a dinosaur, which we call a monster, or a doggy. She usually wears her doggy costume but tells people she is a monster doggy and barks at them in a horrible monster doggy bark. She is a funny one that one.
We went to a carnival at her daycare. Had I read the flyer completely, I would have realized that it was a rodeo them, but since I didn't peanut was the only one not dressed up like a cowperson, she went as a puppy. There was horse rides there. I thought she would go for it, but when we got close to the horse she said, "No No momma. No No." I told her that was fine and that she didn't have to ride the horse if she didn't want to. There were non breathing horses there for her to enjoy. There was a mini merry go round and a bouncing horse that she loved.
We tried to make it to the Pumpkin patch Saturday, but it was closed. Instead, we went to it Sunday morning, which worked out well because it wasn't very crowded at all. Peanut had a blast picking out her pumpkin(s). She was very concerned about all the other pumpkins we weren't taking home. Dad likes to tell a story about taking me to the tomato fields to pick tomatoes after the harvesters had already been through. He says I would yell "tomato" and run past 20 tomatoes to get the the tomato I saw. Well Peanut was like that today, running full speed past 80 pumpkins to get to a little one she could have.
Tonight we went to Boo at the Zoo. It was crazy. There were tons of people and a long line to get in. For those that haven't ever been to the Little Rock Zoo, it was small. REALLY SMALL. They don't even have kangaroos here. It was nice but surprising to see how many people where there. There was also a band competitions going on, so parking was horrendous (another thing that never happens at the zoo). We met up with two friends, Fisher and Quinn. Fisher ended up riding rides, so we didn't see him too much, but we did walk around with Quinn to look at stuff, marvel at the lights, and get LOTS OF CANDY.
We moved the rest of our storage shed into our house today. We are officially all in one place. Throughout the week, we will proceed to throw away a bunch more of our things that should have been thrown out a long time ago. We also need to put it all away. The good thing is that once it is done, it is done. We won't have to mess with it again (until we do the floors).
UPDATED: The elephant is not peanut. She is Quinn.

That girl has an enviable number of fancy dress outfits. The pink poodle number is a bit frou-frou but the elephant is particularly cool. Poor Daisy must be very confused by it all.
It was a potato filed, and not a tomato field, that you were gleaning in. After hearing me tell the story for 30 years it seems that you would get it right:-) I thought that I was being dull and repetitive, but now I see that I am passing on a family oral history!
How adorable! I love Halloween, it is so much fun to dress them when they are at an age that they can't protest too much!
The tombstone picture is awesome!
Strange. I always thought Quinn was an Eskimo.
