OSU Football Game and Ward Chili Cook-off

James and I went to our last Buckeye game together...It was a blow out game against Purdue, but it was still fun to do one last time together before we move....On our way out we walked through a VIP parking lot...James was pretty excited about these Ferraris. You could see the entire engine in the back of the red one. Our Ward Chili Cook off was tonight, and we went as the Flintstones. Lexi was so excited to be Pebbles because I told her she gets to wear a dog bone in her hair. She thought that was pretty neat. These were really easy and inexpensive costumes to make...They are made out of sheets from Volunteers of America and the total for all the costumes was about $10.00.

Here's Lexi and Austin and Ethan...

Lexi eating her Mac 'n cheese...Trunk or Treating with daddy...I told Lexi if she said "Cheese!" for my while I took her picture, she could go get more candy. She was a little excited to keep collecting her candy!
Getting some candy from Hillary...
I wish we had a better picture of the 3 of us, but this is as good as it gets...

Circleville Pumpkin Festival

Lexi and I went to the Circleville Pumpkin Festival with some friends from work. We ate yummy food (pumpkin doughnuts!), walked around the craft booths, saw tons of pumpkins, and even watched the baby parade, which Lexi really liked! She kept waving at all the people in the parade and when they would wave back, she would get really excited and say "It's working mom!" Then after each group would go by she would ask who was coming up next. She loved it!
O-H-I-O spelled out in gourds... Lexi and Nolan sitting with the prize winning pumpkins...Possibly my favorite picture ever, minus the lifesaver that is in Lexi's mouth. Nolan comes over every Wednesday while his mom works, and Lexi loves him so much!

Fall Fun

We went to Leed's Farm last weekend with some friends. We got to play in the barn and go down some slides...They had a "sandbox" filled with corn feed that Lexi loved playing in. They had tractors to play with, Lexi tried to swim in it, and they even buried a few of their friends in the corn! Way less messy than a real sand box!Lexi and Mason playing with a tractor...Lexi and Emri petting the goats. We also saw pigs. We rode the Banana Bus...I had to squish in this little thing to fit. They really could use a little padding in those things!
Lexi and Mason held hands walking to the car...
