Happy Fall, Y'all! That's how they say it around here! It's that time of year for pumpkin carvin', candy collecting, and the anticipation of the holiday season. We got into the spirit beginning with the carving of our jack 'o lantern. We went to "Zoo Boo" where they had a pumpkin patch, pumpkin decorating, trick or treating and a costume parade. We saw lots of great costumes such as tiny Indiana Jones, ladybugs, princesses and, of course, pumpkins! Though we've been enjoying really nice weather, the costumes in the stores seemed too warm for Izzy so we decided to dress her in a festive pumpkin t-shirt and matching socks. To "round" out her outfit, I knitted her a little hat complete with a stem!  Amongst the ghosts and goblins, we spotted lots of cool critters such as two baby elephants, giraffes, llamas, flamingos, and Izzy's favorite, ducks. 

Happiness is a hug from daddy!

Okay, daddy, here's the strategy: you find the perfect pumpkin and I'll decorate it with my mad art skills!

Punkin' Rockin'

My pet pumpkin. Roll over, boy!

Mom was concerned I would hurt myself climbing on furniture, what with my newfound pulling up skills. But she should've known that the furniture falls around me. I'm lucky that way. (Note: Seriously, this little table fell exactly right over her and landed this way without Izzy ever batting an eyelash! Gave mommy a heart attack, though!)
