The month of October was jam-packed with pumpkin patches, parties, playgroup, busy weekends, dance classes and preschool. Here are the highlights:
The first weekend in October we went to Gilroy Gardens to meet Great Grammy, Ooda and Auntie Sarah there. The kids LOVE Gilroy Gardens and didn't want to leave even after we spent a full day there.
In October Connor also started becoming a lot more mobile. He started taking a few steps at a time and gained a lot more interest in playing with his big sister. Here the kids are after playing in bed for a while. They are such great friends!
The next weekend Gianna went up to Santa Rosa to spend the weekend with Ooda and Poppy. She had a lot of fun and we had fun with Connor that weekend too. We took him for a hike in the Sunol Regional Wilderness and he loved the parts he was awake for.
That weekend was also the end of Fleet Week. We were hoping to see the Blue Angels but when their show got cancelled due to fog, we had some extra time to spend with our friend Tracy. Here is Connor all dressed up for a day in the city.
After we left San Francisco we met Ooda and Gianna in Petaluma to play and pick up Gianna. The kids had fun playing at the Pumpkin Patch.
That week we hosted playgroup at our house and Connor was having so much fun he wouldn't take his morning nap. After everyone left he fell asleep while eating lunch. Gianna thought this was very strange.That week it rained and Gianna was so happy to go out and give her rain coat and boots a test.
The next week was a preschool fieldtrip to another Pumpkin Patch. We got to bring Gianna's friend Kaylee with us and the girls had so much fun visiting with the animals, learning about growing pumkins, and picking out pumpkins to bring home.
We all loved the hay ride.
In October Gianna finished her potty chain and was ready to wear underpants. She was very excited and has been doing a great job ever since.
The next weekend was our mom's club annual trip to the pumpkin patch. The kids loved feeding the goats, participating in a costume contest and checking out the pumpkins with friends.
After we left the pumpkin patch we headed over to Berkeley to watch the Cal game and to see our friend Jenna march in the halftime show. The marching band was both of the kids' favorite part of the game. Thanks for the tickets, Jenna!
Here is Gianna during one of her weekly dance classes. She really got the hang of the class and loved to do the routines the teacher taught them.
Here is Gianna (dressed as Pebbles) and her preschool class during their halloween party.
And here we are all dressed for Halloween. Justin and I dressed for trick-or-treating this year and we got a lot of compliments on our family costumes :)
