Fall Festivities

Well, I'm finally feeling better! So now it's time to catch up on life's happenings. First, due to some issues I was having, we had an ultrasound last Wednesday the 3rd. Thankfully everything looked good. We will have another one next Wednesday to check again.
In the meanwhile, I had been feeling like Alex was missing out on something. All last month, it seemed like everyone had pictures of their kid in a pumpkin patch. Granted, the only times I went there as a kid were on school field trips...but still. It finally dawned on me....we have our own pumpkin patch in the backyard...duh. This actually worked out well, as Alex didn't quite get the idea of pumpkin picking. I would give him a pumpkin and then he would go put it back... finally, we got a bucket to put all the pumpkins...this must be what he was waiting for or something, because then he started picking them and putting then in the bucket.

 

Decorating didn't go much better.. well that is he had no intention of "helping" Daddy carve and clean the pumpkins. I did give him some paint and markers to decorate his pumpkins and of course he loved that. 

 

We also went on our first trick or treating adventure in town. This went better then what I thought, as he was very excited about ringing doorbells and then getting candy.

 

And finally, here is some of our Fall/October themedish artwork.
