Our First Scarecrow

Ethan, Sophie and I made our first scarecrow. We were thinking of Daddy when we did, because we raided the closet and used the clothes that he doesn't wear!! With the help of the basketball, and one of Ethan's helmet... the great scarecrow:)

P.S. Denise... I did take an idea of yours and brought the camera outside with us today to see if I could capture some of the seasons best colors.

Up here Sophie....

That is what I heard... I was raking some leaves by the swing set, and Ethan was playing in the leaves on the little hill. Then I hear him tell Sophie to follow him to the top. VISIONS of the two of them rolling down the hill came to mind. So we all played together in the leaves. Sophie is becoming very independent and frankly thinks that she can go anywhere...She has mastered the stairs so I guess running down a hill is next!!

Sophie in the leaves

I have tried and failed miserably... I have also come to the conclusion that you CAN NOT make a Toddler sit. I wanted so badly to see her sit with the red leave and take the "perfect" picture. Then reviewing the pics on the cam... how could these pics not be perfect, this is Sophie, doing what she does best... Just being Soph.

Ethan in the leaves

This is absolutely my favorite time of the year. The colors, the smell, the cool air... well cool air, today I think that it reached nearly 80 degrees!!! End of October and 80 degrees, I can not believe this!!!

Keene Pumpkin Festival

We had a great time in Keene. The kids did a fantastic job, and were very well behaved. There was so much to look at. Ethan saw a few spiderman costumes walking around, and every time he saw one, he would web them!!!

We had a great day

Pumpkins Pumpkins Everywhere

Very Interesting

There were definitely some interesting pumpkins here. Brian of course liked the ones with sports themes, I like the sideways wrinkle faces, and Ethan liked all the pumpkins with the spider cut out on them.

What a Pair

I am very proud of Ethan for the love that he has for his sister. They play so well together, and it is very obvious that he loves her, as does she.

There were sooo Many People

There were so many people in Keene. The crowd was big, and the lines were long. I would like to give Ethan a big thumbs up for being so good about going on a port a potty. He did not have any accidents and waited in line. He even told us on the way home that he had to go, and held it until we got to the gas station. What a good boy!!!!!!

A couple minutes of down time

With soooo many people around, we ducked into an alley between two buildings for a snack. This also gave the kids a chance to run and stretch their legs.

Howling at the Moon

Like the pumpkin behind him, Ethan is showing us, that he too can howl at the Moon!!!
