She's a treat!

Aldyn and I went to Wallace to visit for a few days this week and had a great time. The weather was amazing, and it was just fun to have time at home. My parents are in the middle of corn harvest, so my mom and I took turns on the combine. She got to spend some quality time with Aldyn, which was good for all of us! I never thought I would say this, but I have discovered that I love helping with harvest...oh how my life has changed! One of the reasons that I've enjoyed it so much is probably that I'm only out there for a few hours at a time, and then I get a break. Unfortunately, that's not the case for my dad or my husband...or most farmers out there. Anyway, it just feels good to get out of the house. We came home yesterday in time for trick-or-treating, after stopping in North Platte to see a couple of my good friends.
Obviously, Aldyn had no idea what was going on, but it sure was fun for me and Mike. I bought her costume years ago, before we even thought about having kids. It was on sale after Halloween and I couldn't resist. Mike made fun of me big time, but it was super cheap. We were both shocked that it fit and she got to use it. We're still debating what it's supposed to be...it has ears and a tail...maybe a kitty? I think we finally settled on the pink panther...but who even cares...it was cute and warm. We hit the neighbors' house, and then went in to Christian Homes, where Mike's Grandma Marge lives. They have all of the residents hand out candy to the trick-or-treaters. Then we went to Grandma & Grandpa Hadley's with the rest of the clan. Karen made a pumpkin haunted house, and some very clever treats. We had a great time, and one tired girl bythe time we got home.

Mom & I had to dress her up and take a few pictures before we left Wallace.

All worn out.

She's just a cutie! What fun! I'm sure all those at Christian Homes so enjoyed seeing such a little one dressed up.
