Carving the Pumpkin

Carving the PumpkinI think Katie Beth wanted so badly to help carve the pumpkin until she saw the insides of the pumpkin. We couldn’t get her to put her hand inside at all.

She did like the cutting and drawing part of making a jack-o-lantern.

Walt Disney World Trip Around Corner

It is hard believe that our trip to Walt Disney World is almost here. Karen booked a rental car tonight, but she will keep looking for the “better deal”.

I am looking forward to Katie Beth being able ride a larger group of rides. She will be over 36 inches tall and the first heigth cut off is 35 inches.

I'm hanging out at the Mellow Mushroom

Mellow Mushroom is a good place to meet your friends. The pizza is good, but it is on the sweet side for some.

Karen has crashed early for the night and Katie Beth is down, too.

So, I walked up to Mellow Mushroom to enjoy a beer. The customers are thinning out. The music is very 80’s and 70’s. Presently, it is a Police song, “Material World”.

I had Olde Towne’s Oktoberfest. It is a little too sweet, but it is not a malty sweet.

Playing in the Mud

Playing in the MudThere is nothing like playing in the mud on a rainy day. Katie Beth is loving it.

And, we got to checkout our new bicycle seat for Katie Beth, which I think she likes. But, she is almost too big for it. I know Karen is going to love hearing that given she just purcased it this week. But, she only paid $7.

Earlyworks Childrens’ Museum

Earlyworks Childrens' MuseumKatie Beth is working at the General Store. We are in “Biscuit’s Backyard” for young children at the Earlyworks Childrens’ Museum.

Katie Beth enjoyed playing with the water, too. They have coveralls to keep you dry, which is very nice.

There were too many children, which means there is not enough of each item to go around. But, it all works out.

Hanging out at Huntsville Botanical Garden

Hanging out at Huntsville Botanical GardenWe are having fun walking through the butterfly garden. The Monarch butterflies are hatching.

Katie Beth got to look at them really close. She even had one fly into her face and she laughed with excitement. The moments like these are sweet and I hope she remembers them. She sees the true beauty in life around her.

You want to hold these things close as a parent, because they warm your heart.
