We went to a Halloween party with some of my mommy friends and Katie was a Lil' Ladybug. I think she looked just as cute as can be.

Katie Bug
Everybody pray for me... Katie is TEETHING!!! She has her top and bottom four teeth and now all four of her molars are cutting through. She can be such a whinny, whimpering mess that you just feel so bad for her, until she tries to take a chunk out of you. Lately she has been worse than a puppy with her constant chewing on everyone's shoes...lol. If there is a shoe out within grabbing distance, it is in her mouth. GROSS!

The Dentist!!
Yesterday, Ally and Maddy both had dentist appointments. I am happy to say that Maddy passed with a great report... NO CAVITIES!!! Yeah for Madison. Ally's report was good concidering she hasn't been in 4 1/2 years. She has a small surface cavity that they are going to fix and she won't even need novicain. They also cleaned her teeth and took x-rays to see how everything was going. After Ally's first experience with a dentist, I am glad that this one went well and she seems to like this dentist.
Carving Pumpkins...
On Saturday, Daddy carved the pumpkins (we had bought from the corn maze) with the girls. They had a great time sitting on the porch, drawing faces on the pumpkins and then pulling out all the seeds and "guts"...gross...lol. We saved some of the seeds so we can roast just a few of them and have the girls try them.
Here they are before we added the lights to them.
These are what they looked like after they were finished. Spooky huh?

Corn Maze
Here we are in the middle of the corn maze. There is a farm in Morganton that is on it's second year of doing the maze. There were clues that we had to find in mailboxes in the maze and there were questions that we had to answer in order to go the correct way.
This was the first mailbox we found and two of the questions we had to answer. Ally took a shot at answering the first one and then went in that direction... dead end :( so she learned what another name for corn was.
Besides the maze, the farm also offered a hayride around the corn maze. Once we got to the other side of the maze, there was a pumpkin patch where we were able to pick out some pumpkins and take our pictures with the Peanut gang. I took these pictures of Ally and Maddy while they were waiting for the hay ride to start.
Katie loved her first hayride. She was bouncing on Daddy's leg and the whole time she was smiling and laughing.
Pizza Hut
Here we are at Pizza Hut having lunch. We decided to stop and have lunch out before we went on our family outting to the corn maze.
