Falling for Fall

We have been quite busy this fall. We have taken many day trips during the weekends. We have visited Drumlin farm in Concord, MA. Bella especially likes stopping at the farm stand and driving the tractor with all the kids. We have been working on potty training and I am happy to report......WE ARE IN BIG GIRL UNDERWEAR! That seems to be the highlights of Bella's mornings is picking out which one she will wear that day.
We were lucky enough to have my niece Reagan overnight. We took the girls to the Topsfeild fair. They were so good together..they are finally big enough to ride some rides on thier own. Reagan took really great care of Bella. Bella seems to be a bit more of a daredevil than Reagan. Bella almost climbs into the animals pens with them!
We also traveled to Andover to pick out a special pumpkin for Halloween. We went on Hayrides, listenend and danced to a band (Bella loves to dance!) and went to the pumpkin patch..where Bella picked out a VERY tall pumpkin. She also loved the apple cider donuts they had.
Bella is growing up so fast, she loves telling us about fall. She knows that when the leaves change color and fall off the trees that it will then be winter. When it is winter it gets very cold and sometimes we see snowflakes! (HER OWN WORDS!) Recently she has added that Santa will be coming too!
We went to Boo at the Zoo in Stoneham, she got to trick or treat early with the animals. She loved it, not sure about her costume though. She doesn't like anything too tight! She is going to be a half devil/half angel. I thought that it totally fits her personality lately!
She just began ballet class this week. She absolutley loves it. It is fun to watch her try to dance in her ballet slippers.
She continues to make us smile everyday...I just can't say enough how fast she is growing up and how smart she is! (Andy is ready to send her to kindergarten)
