Octoberness....

I'm having a really hard time coming up with a title for this post, since it's kind of random. Now that I am home more, I am finding time to do things that I really enjoy such as....baking. This is my first attempt at a peach pie. Doesn't everything with peaches look pretty? Believe it or not, but it actually tasted pretty good.
My sister Annie turned 23 on the 8th, so Lucy and I decided to make her some cupcakes. Lucy was very helpful at putting the cupcake wrappers in the pan. She was also very helpful at licking the batter off the spoon and scraping the bowl.
My parents are out of town, so Jordan and I drove to Provo to celebrate with Annie. We ate dinner at a delicious Italian restaurant called 'Gloria's Little Italy'. The food was fantastic!! We will definitely be going back. After dinner we had tickets to the BYU-San Jose State game. BYU won, and it was a great evening.
Yummy.
On Wednesday, I bought a groupon to see the Piccadilly Circus in Salt Lake. Since Lucy is so in love with Dumbo I thought she might enjoy the circus. I hadn't been to the circus since I was four, so I had no idea what to expect. We really built the whole thing up by telling Lucy that she was going to see all sorts of animals. Unfortunately, most of the acts in the first half were human acts and Lucy was NOT interested. We ended up leaving at intermission because Lucy was tired and grumpy. It was $25 well spent.

Ya, we've done the circus thing several times...enough that Luke will remember we took him (so he can't say we were wicked parents that denied their own child), but I'm done now. I'll wait till the other two are old enough that they'll remember going once and then never again. It's usually really expensive, there's too much going on, and your kids complain the whole that they want popcorn, cotton candy, the glowing swords, some nachos.....I don't like it. Could you tell?

I still can't get over Lucy's hair. She looks like she's five with all those lovely locks!
