Storybook character costume parade and more fall fun

"I love the leaves I do not know why.
Is it their colors or how they fly?
They crunch and crinkle under my feet;
I pile them up and take a leap!"
~Beath Paulsen

Schools were out today so yesterday was the Storybook Character Costume Parade. Libby decided to be a vampire this year. Except at first she wanted to be either Bella or Alice from Twilight. Ok, so I'd dress her in jeans and a shirt and that would be her costume? So, she settled on more of a Dracula look. :-)

Thursday night after dinner Libby made our annual chocolate covered apples but this year both of us were very impatient when it came to making the apples so it was a little more frustrating than usual but they still turned out tasting delicious! :-)

We also finally carved "Maggie" her pumpkin. Libby drew on the face that she wanted and we both said goodbye to our beautiful pumpkin and then I pierced her perfect pumpkin skin and made Maggie into a jack-o-lantern.
Tonight after dinner we got a phone call from the mom of Libby's best friend Maddy asking i Libby could come spend the night. This was the only night this weekend that a sleepover would work so I agreed and she took a quick bath and got her stuff together and I took her over to Maddy's house. When I went into Libby's room to tell her she was spending the night with Maddy she started shrieking and jumping up and down...it was too cute! :-) I will be back over there to pick her up at 7:15am in the morning because Libby and I are meeting Karen and Amanda to go to another (and our last) fall festival. Tomorrow is going to be a busy, busy, busy day but I'm really looking forward to it! After the fall festival Libby and I have a family thing to go to in Starke for a few hours, then we'll come home to watch the Florida/Georgia game and then it will be time to get ready for trick-or-treating because Newberry is doing their trick-or-treating Saturday night so the children aren't up late on a school night. Sunday afternoon Libby and I are meeting a friend of hers at the corn maze for an afternoon of fall fun. This weekend is going to be amazing!!
