Boating in Novembehttp://3.bp.blogspot.com/_-FbrYP2DYIg/TOujGXAginI/AAAAAAAAAQo/jQ1dgoF6CUU/s1600/Nov%2B22%2B007.JPGr











Well as crazy as it sounds we went out on the boat Monday with my parents. It was 82 degrees out and beautiful. It has been a few weeks since Olivia has been out on the boat and she was itching to get on the water, OK maybe her Dad and I were itching. The ride was perfect, the purr of the engine mixed with the splashing of waves; someone needs to turn that into a sound machine.

When we got to the beach, Olivia started playing in the sand. Who knew how quick the sand found its way to her mouth. She loves digging and playing in the sand, the only problem now is that she is all sandy and the water is burrrrr cold. Jonathan dipped her feet in the water and she didn't seem to care. She just wanted to walk, walk, walk all over the place.

Little Miss Bumble Bee






We only had one trick-or-treater this year, our cute little bumble bee. It took us forever to pick out a costume but we finally picked the bumble bee and I'm glad we did because Oli looked so cute. We started the day with carving a jack-o-lantern. We tried to get Oli to touch the pumpkin goo inside and she wanted nothing to do with it. Shawntel found a recipe for holiday spice roasted pumpkin seeds and it turned out great. All those years of getting rid of the insides. After we cleaned up we put Oli in her bee costume and went up to see Grandma at work. She didn't mind the wings but I think that the hat must have been annoying because she wasn't happy until it was off. After a few pictures we went home and watched the Buccaneers take care of business. That night we lit up the pumpkin and waited for trick-or-treaters and didn't get one. More candy for us . I can't wait for next year I think we have a new favorite holiday.
