It’s definitely fall for the Denison family! Savannah is in heaven with the warmer weather and being able to spend lots of time outside! We were able to sneak out for a while to enjoy the pumpkin patch to find the perfect pumpkin to carve. Savannah enjoyed playing on the hay stack and then heading to the patch to find the great pumpkin to carve up for the big day! She tried so hard to pick up the pumpkins to carry to the car, but she
needs to build a little more muscle before that happens! She was okay with letting mommy and daddy doing the lifting them into the car! A few days prior to Halloween, Savannah let Daddy know when he got home from work that it was time to carve the pumpkins. She was pretty curious about it all and a little hesitant to help mommy scoop out the insides, but had a great time regardless. She was definitely ready for the big day to get here that’s for sure. Life has been up and down for us as it has been for the last
month, so it’s nice to enjoy a little “normal” here and there. Cameron’s mom came home from the hospital and was able to spend some time at our house. Savannah loved showing off all her new tricks for Grandma. Our newest favorite is asking her what we think of Kansas and she holds her nose and says “stinky”. Nothing like a little more brainwashing for the world’s smallest Mizzou fan! We had tickets to yet another game and were
planning on going this past weekend, however, the little one decided that it wasn’t in the cards for mommy to return for Homecoming and got sick over the weekend. Nothing serious and she is doing fine, but it was enough for us to stay close to home for the evening. Thanks to Grandma Huster for watching Savannah so we could sneak out to watch the game at none other than Culpepper’s. We missed seeing the big win in person,
but that’s the way it goes! It was just nice to get out and enjoy a much needed and deserved date night! We are ready to see a nice big win in person over K-State on 11/8! So from here we are just taking things day by day, Savannah is learning to say Trick or Treat and will hopefully be ready to scour the neighborhood for some tasty treats on Halloween! Again, we will try not to take so long for the next update!
BOO! Happy Halloween everyone! What a great night for some trick or treating! Thankfully there is no snow or rain out tonight! Really, can I use any more exclamation points?!?!? Anyway, Savannah had a great day today. Earlier in the week it dawned on me to try on her costume to make sure it fit. Oh what a mistake that was, or really good preparation. Savannah was NOT happy about the monkey costume and let me know! 
Sooo, we did have a back up plan and she has a cute little Mizzou cheerleader outfit to wear just in case, as I am sure the other costumes in the store were slim pickins by this week. For most of the afternoon today we asked her if she wanted to be a monkey and we received a big NO! So I got the costume out and she bolted to daddy and was determined to not be a monkey this year! Well we had to try and it was a bit of a struggle, but in the end, she really enjoyed being the cutest monkey in the world. And it helped that we told 
her she had to wear it if she wanted to be outside, and since she LOVES to be outside, it was a no brainer for her at that point. She was very intrigued by the “Scary Pumpkin” and we were able to snap a few pics before heading out to gather the loot. Savannah and Daddy had a great time going to the neighbors for some candy and Halloween fun. She actually did say “trick or treat” to the neighbors and seemed to really have a good time, as she held onto the candy bag the entire time they were out. Once home, it was time to 
inspect the loot and like every other kid in the world tonight, she ate a good portion of her treats already. She then enjoyed saying boo to the trick or treaters we had after she was done. We are looking forward to the years to come, as Cameron discovered that the husband and wives in the neighborhood take turns taking the kids out and next year is the husband/daddy year. And of course, the parents don’t go out without treats of their own!! Brings back such memories for the both of us! So now we are just heading into another weekend of who knows what and will continue to take things day to day. Happy Halloween everyone!
