Well this last weekend was Yamboree weekend, the weekend where much of East Texas comes together in the town of Gilmer to celebrate sweet potatoes... or something like that. Our family are big fans of this annual event.
Avery was a huge fan of the livestock this year. She has reminded several times of the animals she saw. Her favorite were the cows I think.
Cruisin' the livestock auction
Avery was elated to find out there were more cows when we got to Nanny Lou's house. She likes to talk to them, in their native tongue of course.
Enjoying the parade
Avery informed me her favorite parts of the parade were the princesses, music and cows (there weren't any cows in the parade, but she likes them nonetheless).
Somewhere in all our fun, Landry turned 6 months! What happened to our time?!?! She's sitting up and trying really hard to crawl. She can only get into the plank position now though.
We took the girls to the Farmers' Market to pick out pumpkins. Avery had a hard time decided which ones she wanted. First she filled her stroller with the "baby punkins".
Then she reassessed her choices when she saw the giant pumpkins.
We finally decided on one "baby punkin" and one "big girl punkin".
Good choice!
Another highlight of this fall has been Avery's early birthday present. Clay built her a sandbox in the backyard. She and Landry have loved it! We wanted it to be a birthday surprise, but were a little perplexed as to how to hide an 8x8 sandbox. Avery doesn't get dates anyways. Happy birthday early!
Landry is starting to realize there's more to food than mushed up fruits and veggies. I'm not sure I'll be able to hold her off much longer.
Tara, this picture is for you. Great birthday gift idea! The stroller goes with us everywhere (as you can see from the pumpkin picking). It is not unusual for the stroller to sleep with Avery either. Thanks for the great gift!
My mom has also donated our old Halloween ghost from when I was a kid to our family. Avery loves it and likes to go outside to ask him how he's doing a lot.
And I'll leave you with some random fall fun shots.
Bye!
