“I got a rock.” Charlie Brown
Happy Halloween! Today didn’t exactly go the way I had planned. It was a whirlwind from the moment Baby Girl woke up. We had a full day ahead with a trip to pick up GG (92 yr old Great Grandma), run a few errands with her then off to a Drs appointment in the city. On the way, we stopped in to see another of GG’s Great Grandkids – this one only 9 months old. We had a very nice visit – then off to the Drs office we went. What usually takes only 1 hour expanded to just over two hours . . . not an pleasant thing usually with a two year old in tow. However, dressed in her Shirley Temple Halloween dress . . . she enchanted everyone in the waiting room. Following the Dr’s visit, we headed to the airport where my sister was actually checked in to her hotel finally! (lol – only a day late) By time I dropped GG off at her Condo and got her settled in, then drove home, it was after 7pm, pouring rain, and too late to take the little one trick or treating. We live in a neighborhood that is very rural. I’ve never had a single trick or treater since we lived here. So . . . we snuggled on the couch and watched some Toy Story and off to bed she went. She’ll get to really enjoy it next year!

“When we are children we seldom think of the future. This innocence leaves us free to enjoy ourselves as few adults can. The day we fret about the future is the day we leave our childhood behind.” Patrick Rothfuss, The Name of the Wind
I’m enjoying so much taking pictures of this little one. Those curls, that sweet innocence. This morning we went out to feed the birdies some puffed rice cereal we’d used to make some Halloween Treat with – but it didn’t work out so well. We thought the birds might enjoy them. I caught her with the morning light coming from behind her, through the Willow Tree at the edge of the creek. I think this may be one of my favorite pictures of her so far.
After she put the cereal on the little spool, she walked around snapping her fingers saying “here birdie, here birdie, treats!”
I just love seeing life through her eyes!
