So, recently we've done the corn maze out at Linder Farms and McKenna had a blast with that. She really wanted to be in the bounce house most of the time and on the slide, but the slide was crazy. Absolutely no supervision, with kids getting trampled on their way up and McKenna got her leg stuck in one of the straps that are on the ladder part and had to be rescued. Finally, someone got over there and made the kids behave but it was short-lived. We did the corn maze, which McKenna really thought was a bore, but then we did the pony rides and she got in the saddle and was liking it until the pony started to move and then she wanted off. LOL

Anyway, there was lots there to do. We picked out a 40lb pumpkin and carved it up and got plenty of pictures, thank you very much! Nothing much else except that Madelaine is giggling a little now and gives us tons of smiles. McKenna is being a very good big sister and I'm not as paranoid now as I had to be earlier.

We went for a walk today and a stray cat followed us home. She's young, probably not a year old and is either pregnant or nursing - probably the latter. Skinny, but with some food I gave her hopefully she'll do okay. She may stick around for awhile, who knows? But with these cold nights, I fixed up a couple of boxes for her (one within the other) with some blankets so maybe she'll take advantage. Of course, if she likes it too much and is nursing, she might just bring her kittens here. Guess we'll find out. McKenna likes her because she's friendly and lets her pet her.

McKenna has gone through the first screening at Parkview Pre-School and has a 'social' group this friday, so we'll see what they think. It'll take awhile before we know if they'll take her. She's been behaving around other children much nicer lately and hopefully her main issue that they'll address will be speech. I'll keep everyone posted on how that goes.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
