Pumpkin Patch trip #2

We took Ethan back to the pumpkin patch for more fun. He wasn't so sleepy this time.






He wanted to get in there and play with those birds!





I love his eyes in this photo.

My favorite family photo to date.

Pumpkin Patch trip #1

Ethan went on his first trip to the pumpkin patch the first weekend in October. We decided to go about an hour before his afternoon nap. We didn't realize how tired he was until we were there. By the end of the trip, he leaned back onto the diaper bag and nearly napped right there in the wagon! He has a serious face in every picture but we think he had a good time. He was fascinated by the pumpkins, especially their stems.

After a nap at home we carved his first pumpkin:

Ethan's 1st Halloween

I bought his first costume on clearance just before Christmas last year. It was extra special to see him in it since I bought it before he was even born.

This was the first time we had him try it on:

On trick or treat night we took him around the neighborhood with friends and their 6 month old baby girl. She was dressed up as a turkey. So cute!


The owl on our Halloween wreath looks like he's part of the family.


Ethan was able to wear his costume again for the Halloween parade at his daycare.



A few weeks ago his teachers asked each parent to bring in a white onesie so they could decorate it. They tie-dyed them orange and used puffy paint to make jack-o-lanterns on the tie-dyed circles, then added the child's name and 2009 on the sleeves. They turned out very cute. They also dressed each child up in overalls and took their picture on a hay bail & with a pumpkin. They framed the photo with autumn themed craft booking supplies. The parents were given the frames at the luncheon after the parade. It was sweet.

Happy Fall!
