Costumes, Carnivals & Cousins

We had a busy and fun filled evening Saturday. Ava Kate had her school Halloween Carnival so we got her all dressed up in her Fancy Nancy costume complete with red hair spray which was a big mess! I think her costume turned out pretty darn cute! She loves her Fancy Nancy books and games and we already had the dress and the red sparkly shoes so it was a pretty easy costume to pull together especially when you have naturally curly hair! Unfortunately Saturday was the same day she had gotten her flu shot and I think it had her feeling a little yucky because she was pretty clingy and uninterested at her school carnival. We did do the cake walk together and Ava Kate and daddy won some delicious sugar cookies. She got to see her teachers and some friends although she was being a little shy that night. She loved watching the armadillo races but had no interest in participating and I can't say I blame her.

After we left her carnival we went to the Austin Fall Festival to meet up with her cousins. She was thrilled to see them as always and they had more fun running around chasing each other than doing anything else I think. They did make some sand necklaces together and they all loved holding, feeding and petting the animals from May Farm! But after several hours of fun this mama's feet were glad to be home and kicked up in bed!
