This isn't what Violet is going to be for Halloween, but I told her she could pick out her costume today. We have a trunk full of costumes, and she chose her dragon suit. Everyone thought she was a dinosaur, but she insisted she was a dragon.
It was so windy we almost lost her jack-o-lantern when it was empty.
We went to Lone Oak I.S.D.'s Fall Carnival. It was packed!
Everyone had on orange, and there were bounce houses everywhere. This girl's costume reminded me of this:
Ooooh...I want, I want. Isn't this a gorgeous dress? (from Luly Yang)
Does everyone do mazes like this now? One of these days, I want to try one of those big corn field mazes. They seem a little scary.
They had four bounce houses!
Guess where we spent most of our time?
I'm a skee ball fan. What's your favorite carnival game?
They had huge blow up zipline rides.
Violet wasn't quite old enough yet, but these looked fun. They were like giant hamster balls for people.
We got to watch a helicopter land right next to us.
The nice flight nurse let Violet try on a helmet.
It was a fun weekend! Do you go to a local carnival? Send me a link if you post photos-I'd really like to see other people's carnivals.
Well Of COURSE Violet was a dragon! Dragons have purple sparkly parts and dinosaurs don't. What were people thinking???

OH MY WORD!!! Scary Mary!!
You guys are a hoooot!
Laura, you look like you are in some far away show where girls are all tough and shoot, and are like, super army strong, and can fly holding that gun.
Violet is a doll, love the costume!!
Loooove, V

I like you with that high ponytail. Vi is really getting TALL. And, at long last, a pic of the baby.
