Halloween

We had a fun Halloween this year! Owen really got into the trick-or-treating and came home with tons of candy!

Nice faces!! That's Owen's "super cheese" face.

He couldn't resist wearing Ashleigh's costume for a little bit later on.

Pumpkin Painting & Carving

Owen & Daddy carving a pumpkin. Owen was grossed out by the pumpkin guts. He washed his hands 3 times and lost interest before it was done.

We let Owen paint the little pumpkin he had picked out. This activity was more up his alley.

Check Out My Hat!

Owen is a fan of dress-up!
We had a book from the library this week called "Chicks & Salsa." In it the farm animals have a fiesta & the cow wears a sombrero. Owen was thrilled when I actually found one in a box with old Halloween stuff. He honestly wouldn't take it off the whole morning.

Owen's New Playroom

I wanted to post pictures of Owen's playroom in our new house. We decided to use the formal dining room area for our toy room! Owen really likes it and depends much of his day here. He gets really excited to show off his toys when friends come over.
(the walls are all the same color, not sure why the back wall looks different in the picture)

Camping

Enjoy these photos from our camping adventure at Pokagon State Park in Indiana.
Owen had a great time. He loved being outdoors all day and even slept well in the tent.

After the first 20 minutes I realized that Owen would just be dirty all weekend, so I stopped chasing him with the wipes and just enjoyed the weekend!

Owen's ready to get on the road

Looking like he's up to no good




Owen & Noah were best buddies for the weekend.

Raspberry Picking

We went to the local cider mill last Friday to pick raspberries. Owen had a blast! His picking technique was "one in the box, three in my mouth"! Since you pay by the pound, I tried to pay a little extra explaining that my son ate quite a few. However the lady wouldn't take my money and instead just laughed and said "that's how kids enjoy the experience!"










Of course we had to visit with the goat for a little bit!

Yard Work

Anything Dad can do, I can do better!
