Right now during this time of year, it is very strange for us to not be dusting off our winter coats, hats and gloves and gearing up for winter! Instead we are shutting off our AC and leaving our windows open since the first time we moved to TX!! Although it has been a tough HOT summer, the high for Nacogdoches, TX tomorrow is 68 degrees, compared to a high of 46 degrees in Buffalo, MN! This the first time i'm saying I LOVE this weather!! Don't worry MN, apart of me is still there with you all in the chilly October weather that we do miss!
This week kicked off Halloween in our house! Most of our Halloween decorations are still in MN, so we kept it pretty simple this year and put up a pumpkin door decoration, which i'm amazed is still intact and hanging without tears! :) Andy, the girls and I got into full pumpkin decorating mode and painted Laila and Lainie's pumpkins! We do plan on carving them as it gets closer to Halloween! Laila being like her mom, couldn't let a blank canvas sit on her pumpkin for too long! It was a fun, creative mess!
As well as painting our pumpkins, we enjoyed going to the Nacogdoches fair! The girls loved the animal expo which included mainly cows. Also the amusement rides and fair food made for a fun day! The animals were of course a big hit for no one other than miss Lainie Lou! At one point Lainie tried to climb into the cows pen and pet it. The cow was not impressed!! Andy and Laila rode a number of rides to which I was more nervous and scared to watch than Laila was to ride! She for sure has Andy's thrill genes!! Unlike Lainie, who was less excited and could hardly even ride the farris wheel! The man operating the ride said her face said it all!! Now we know! :) We spent the great day with our TX friends the Meders, and John (MN)!
To end the great weekend, the girls, Andy and John went swimming for the last time on Sunday! I myself can't believe swimming in the middle of October! Laila and Lainie enjoyed every last minute of it! Bring on Fall!!!! Till the next!! EN
