Autumn Fun

Here are some pictures and updates from September. We started off with Avery's first day back to pre-school. She was so excited, she was counting the days to get back! She is now going 3 days a week instead of just two like last year and she loves it! Although she is now counting the days until she starts kindergarten. She actually informed one of her teachers last week that she just has 1 hayride and 2 school programs until she starts kindergarten. She's just a little excited about it.

A cute picture of Sierra as I was starting to get out all of the fall and winter clothes

Avery with her new dog (She won it out of one of those crane games, which I never let her play because you never win anything, but Avery saw this dog, literally, hanging over the edge so we went for it.)



I finally won the battle with Sierra over putting Pigtails in her hair. Of course, I had to get a picture. I have about 10 pictures just as cute as this one because she thought it was hysterical to try and run away from mommy as I was trying to get a picture.

For the last two weeks we have been decorating for Halloween. Halloween in the Saylor house is like Christmas anywhere else, there is not a room that does not have decorations in it. The girls love it! So last weekend, we went pumpkin picking. It was like being in a candy store with them. They didn't know which one to pick first. They wanted one of every size, shape, and color. So we came home with 8 pumpkins! And it would have been a lot more if they didn't have llamas there to distract the girls. So it was a fun morning there and then we had to decide where to put them all when we got home. Sierra just lined all of the "baby" ones up on one step. And Avery tried to carry the biggest, heaviest one all the way across the yard. So I would say our house is officially festive!

And Sierra also got her first haircut this week....

...and she was not happy about it!

The Spencer Fair

All year long, Avery asks about The Spencer Fair and it was finally here last weekend! We had so much fun. Avery really wanted to go on Bumper Cars. So after we all went on the merry go round, we found them. Avery was just tall enough to go on them and she loved it. Then, we all went on the big slide which is always a big hit. I think, in total, the girls each went on it four times. They love it! I have to admit it is really fun! The girls and I also went on the ferris wheel and a couple other rides and played a couple of games. And Avery saw some kids running around with their faces painted like Spider-Man, so we walked up and down every aisle of vendors until we found the booth. She looked so cool. Sierra was not up for sitting long enough for a face painting, but she got a really cute glitter butterfly tattoo on her leg. It was a great day!
