I am so over you, October

I know I am not a Little Mary Sunshine and that I have my share of pessimism a runnin' though my veins but for the most part I really try to see the good in things. I look for the silver lining, I think about the good in people and all of that positive energy crap but I gotta tell you October has pushed me to the limit and I am done. I have been crapped on by you, you mean 31 days and I am not gonna take it any more.

I am counting on you, brave November and though we have started out a little rocky I need you. You are a great month. A month of gratitude and chilly weather, a month of the anticipation of Christmas and lets just face it you bring my favorite meal where the copious amounts of gravy I cover my plate in is finally considered acceptable! Bring it on November I need your gravy more than ever.

You have missed a lot of what has happened in the Luscious Lives of the Larsen's because of my slothfulness and I am sorry. I will now attempt to make it up to you by bombarding you with as many pictures and stories as I have time to upload!

We had a super fun 1st birthday party with lots of friends & yummy birthday cake that Sarah sat on (pictures at another time)!


Sarah got to wear a very special 1st birthday dress...thanks Auntie Wendee


Grandma and Grandpa Stenquist came to visit and to spoil their granddaughter


Can you believe all those presents


We went to the arboretum


and loved the giant pumpkin house


Sarah discovered a new way to eat cheerios...I think she watches the pets too much!


We did lots of zoomin' with dad-a-dad


Dad gave Sarah the super fab flying wedge hair do.
(If you don't know about the flying wedge then you aren't watching Kath and Kim and you are missing out on some fine, fine programing.)


the most adorable thing ever!


a little afraid of Batman and the Joker


but not dad!


it was so cute to see her walk in these shoes


and then October ended and we await a better month though we will miss the candy!

I think she grew into a little girl in the two months we haven't seen you. Sarah is the cutest pumpkin EVER! Jimbo makes a darling Jack Sparrow too. She looks so pretty on her birthday. I hope you have a cheerier Nov. Miss and love you guys!

Your baby is adorable! She is beautiful just like her mom and that is the cutest pumpkin costume I have ever seen.
Here's to November!

I know I get to see her every week and my son likes to smooch (that's what I like to call it... you might call pushing her down) on her too much, but I tell you what, that pumpkin outfit wins the prize. I can't even stand how yummy she is.

Love you girl.

That Sarah is just the cutes thing ever! I love that pumpkin costume. I also love the picture of her sitting surrounded by her birthday presents. Sorry October wasn't very good. I totally should have been a better visiting teacher for you. I will try to do better. Hope things improve in November.
