Spooktacular Halloween

This year for Halloween we had a party to share the frights and sounds of the season. It was a great chance to slow down for the day and talk to everyone about what is going on in their lives. It was a blast to see the kids dressed up and how they reacted to one another in their costumes. Greysen, as a frog, and Tenille, as a unicorn, weren't quite sure what to make of one another. Greysen didn't go treat-or-treating but he made sure that he saw every kid that came to our door, even waving to some of them as they left the porch. It was just adorable, he will surely want to go on his own trek for candy next year!

Mommy's Birthday

Even though it seems like we are busier than ever, we took the time to celebrate my birthday. I love my birthday and there was nothing better to spend it with some of my favorite people. Greysen, Daddy, Grandma Schnick and I went and did a little shopping in the morning and went to lunch. Grandma and Greysen spent the evening together so Corbin and I got to spend some time together seeing a movie.

Cool Fall Afternoons

Eventhough the weather has turned cooler, Greysen still loves to be out in the yard playing and chasing Ashi. When we have a chance we head out to pick up walnuts and sticks, climb on the castle, through the trees and on Greysen's house and climber cube.

Pumpkin Pickin'

Fall is the best time of the year, not only because of my birthday, but because of the falling leaves, the cool crisp air, the lingering scent of a bon fire and of course, s'mores. It seems as though Greysen grows so much each month, but we weren't sure if he would be ready for the adventure to the pumpkin patch. He loved it, absolutely love it, he had a great time roaming around from vine to vine and selecting the perfect pumpkins. He chose three great little ones and mom and dad chose one larger one. He enjoyed it so much didn't want to leave and the fact the he fell in a mud puddle did not deter his spirit of the search for the ultimate pumpkin, not even a tear was shed and he barely gave me a chance to clean him off. Pumpkin pickin' was a success and we already are looking forward to next year.
