The Zoo

I'm a little late in writing about our trip to the zoo since it happened last Sunday but I got some nice pictures and we had a really nice time. Sean's parents came down for a long weekend. We had a really nice time and Olivia loved having them here. We usually go to the zoo a few times a year. I love our zoo - it's in Asheboro. It's sort of in the middle of nowhere but it's in a very natural setting and you have to do a lot of walking. We'll be going again in a week and a half when my parents and my brother's family come down for Thanksgiving.

We're still working on the potty training. It's not going so well. She was doing great but has seemed to take a few steps backwards. It's also really difficult on the weekends when we're running around everywhere. I hate to admit it but it is SO MUCH easier to just have on a pull up. Sean thinks she'll be 20 and still in a pull up. At least we won't have to worry about boys!! :)

Halloween

                

We took Olivia trick or treating for the first time last night.  She had a great time.  We actually went to a neighborhood in Pittsboro.  They don't really do anything in our neighborhood since the houses are on such large lots and so far apart.  We went with our neighbors across the street who have two young girls.  Olivia's school had a party during the day too.  She wore her cat costume (minus the mask - her head is too big and it kept popping off) during the day and her mouse costume at night.  She was so cute!  The first house we went to she was so excited that she grabbed three handfuls of candy from the bowl.  She did great walking too.  We walked pretty far and she walked herself the whole way and wouldn't let anyone carry her bucket for her.  

I'm too tired tonight to write a lot but I wanted to put up some pictures since it's been three weeks.
