October has been a busy month for us. In the midst of M's dissertation writing and job applications, S experienced some changes at work. Soon S's hours and workload will increase, but it's an exciting move forward.
Both of K's grandmothers came for of visit, which resulted in some major spoilage. She loved the extra attention and daily gifts while they were here. Here's a brief table of events from the past few weeks:
We took K apple picking for the first time.

She enjoyed going up and down the ladder (with adult supervision).

She loved the idea of picking, eating and then throwing the apple on the ground.
We went to the Lake Winnapesakee, New Hampshire area for a murder mystery dinner with friends. M dressed up as a vampire slayer and S as a investigator.
We took Grandma I to Salem, MA for breakfast and exploring. We showed her the House of Seven Gables and other historic sites.
Grandma G, S and K went leaf peeping in Woodstock, Vermont. We saw a deer and some wild turkeys. K was more impressed seeing the sheep, horses and cows.
One of the nearby towns puts together a Haunted Hayride. This tunnel was K's favorite part of the ride.
K's other favorite part of the ride, she loved the "Itsy Bitsy Spider".
After the hayride, apples or candy corn were given to the kids. K picked the apple, we were so proud. ;)
So, the ladybug strikes back! (yes, it's ladybug round 2! But at least this time she wore it for longer than 5 minutes).
