Trick or Treat!

What a fun and special day we had today!  Jacob got to try out his new snow suit this morning and play in the snow for the first time.  Well, he didn't exactly play in the snow, he just ran around a bit.  Then we made cookies and got ready to go out trick or treating.  Jacob's favourite part was looking at all of the pumpkins, and eating cheetos and smarties before bed (I'm going to have to hide his candy for sure!)  I hope everyone had a faboolous Halloween!

Eww Pumpkin Guts!

This evening we cleaned out our big pumpkin in preparation for the carving tomorrow.  Jacob lent a hand, and had a good time doing it!  I love that Jacob is beginning to participate in family activities.  It's so much more fun to have him join in and watch him experience things for the first time.

Gearing up for Halloween

I'm not big on decorating for Halloween. I usually carve a pumpkin and put out these orange lights that Jacob seems to love so much! Perhaps as the years go on I'll develop, with Jacob's help, a better Halloween stockpile.

More Trucks

Happy Thanksgiving!

We have a lot to be thankful for today: Family, friends, nice weather and good food to eat. We are especially thankful that we were able to make the trip up north to visit Memere this weekend, and for the love that we shared with her. I hope everyone had a wonderful day filled with warm and fuzzy feelings. Today we played in the leaves, played with trucks, and had turkey pie for supper (well, the rest of us did-Jacob turned his nose to it and refused to take a bite!) Happy Thanksgiving!

Leaves Please!

Yesterday we took Jacob out to play in the leaves. I think he had a good time, what do you think?

I guess daddy didn't find the leaves as impressive as Jacob did. Haha.
