Sweet Corn

I still haven't found the cord to my camera so here are some "old" pictures that I never posted. I think I took these the week we moved, hence they never made it to the blog before now.
In preparation for the long winter, we had to re-stock the freezer with yummy, fresh sweet corn. So one afternoon, during the peak of sweet corn season, we loaded my car with 4 bushels, yes bushels, to sweet corn! Megan just couldn't help but get in the action of husking all of that corn.
She looks like a pro doesn't she!?!

Using a different but just as effective form.
She knew she needed to throw the husk away.
Just a little smile after all of that hard work.
If I recall, it was shortly after this picture that I tried to put Megan down for a nap and she had a huge meltdown. So we never got to help with cutting the corn off of the cob. I'm sure Megan would have had a blast pouring the corn into bags to freeze. But since we were in the middle of a big move she was not herself. We had fun and Grandma still shares some corn with us anyways :)

$.59 bag = fun!!!

OK yes I have been slacking so here is a quick something to make my cousin and Grandma and Papa smile. I will try to do a better job at posting things in a timely manner. I have cute leaf pictures but I don't know where my camera cord is so these videos will have to do :)

So it was right before Halloween and we may or may not have had slightly too much candy (somebody Mark had to open the candy before Halloween), but out of pure boredom we discovered that a $.59 IKEA bag can provide a ton of entertainment for us. Megan loved it, and Mark and I couldn't stop laughing at Megan's giggle. So what to do...grab a camera and film it!

After stopping Baron from eating Megan's food, I started filming again. Did I mention that we were bored!?!

Halloween

Before we went out trick-or-treating (Megan's first time) we went to a Halloween party at the Olsaver's house. Megan was very excited and had a week long countdown until the party. When we got there Megan was a little shy because all of the kids were running around in their costumes and she couldn't tell who they were. So being a "Chef" she wanted to play with the kitchen.
After dinner they was a craft for the kids to do. Megan and Mark were making a ghost with tissue paper.
All of the kids right before going out to trick-or-treat. Cute huh!?!
My Chef Baby! She wouldn't look at the camera because she was too busy watching all of the costume and kids go by.
Just following Rosemary's lead because in the beginning she had no idea what was going on.
After a few houses she figured out what was going on. She didn't really get the saying "trick or treat" part, but she did say "Thank You" to everyone.
How cute is this!?! The girls holding hands as they walked to the next house. It was adorable!
Back at the Olsaver's house...Megan didn't not want to stop getting candy but she had had enough walking at this point. I think all of the kids asked to be done. All were very well behaved and all had lots of simple fun...can't wait for next year!
