Happy Halloween!

So this autumn season has been a little different than I'm used to. No chilly weather, no autumn leaves. No need for cocoa or cider. To be honest, we're enjoying that it's finally out of the 90s and nice enough weather to play outside!

(We're also laughing at how poorly we packed for Dallas weather. I'm still not breaking into long-sleeve shirts, let alone all the sweaters I packed. I've worn long jeans a few times.)

Regardless, the Browns have been enjoying pre-Halloween.

from the arboretum:

They had this darling little petting zoo. And Greta, well, tried very hard not to touch any animals, thanks. She wanted to keep a good distance from the bunny and goats. She touched the sheep once. She was most intrigued by the horse--but perhaps because he was behind a gate.

Jason's pretty horrified that I gave into the free face painting. I figure she's only a kid once.

(While we enjoyed these picturesque and fine holiday venues, we went home and bought a not-so-extravagantly priced pumpkin from the grocery store.)

Also, because I have no willpower, here's some pictures of baby girl in her costume. I took this little cow out to pasture yesterday and took some photos. I got eaten alive by bugs (like I have four bug bites on my face and a few others on arms and legs), and Greta was a crack-up as a cow.

 

Happy Halloween!
