Phew! And it's on to November...

Getting a magic carpet ride from Grandpa...
Reading a great book -- "Cars and Trucks and Things That Go!" by Richard Scarry. This is a good one for ANY child...there are so many pictures to talk about it in this book!

Getting a tickle and sharing a laugh...

Pumpkin carving time! Not too sure about touching that gooey stuff!

In his, "I'm so cute, it's scary" pajamas on Halloween night

Helping Mama make "tooties" for our Halloween party -- no fear... these cookies were saved just for our family's eating...no friends were exposed to these!

Halloween day...eating a lollipop already and wearing his "Monster in training" shirt

Hi everyone! Yeah for the end of October! For some reason, it was a very long month for me, so I'm happy to be on to the next. I think the agony of finding that duck costume just about wore me out! ;) As you've probably read, we had a fantastic Halloween and Bear Cub really got into the Halloween spirit this year. Just imagine what he'll be like next year!! The rest of the weekend was very nice. Saturday I was able to do a little Christmas shopping by myself and my fellas went to a park and played. Then yesterday, Grandma and Grandpa came over to our house for the day and we enjoyed a nice lunch at home and some play time. We hadn't told Bear Cub about their visit, so once they were getting closer, we went ahead and unlocked the front door for them to just come into the house. BC was rounding the corner near the door when they walked in...it was so cute because he just froze for a second and then with a BIG smile he said, "Dramma, Drampa!!" I'd say he was happy to see them!

Let's see...other news around here...well, poor BC has a chest cold and a really goopy nose that caused some sleeping issues last night. So I ended up sleeping on the twin bed WITH him last night. He slept fine as I received a few punches to the head and kicks to the stomach from that squirmy sleeper! So....thinking about his crib that he USUALLY sleeps in. I have a feeling it's on its way out because one day last week he wanted to nap in the "big boy" bed and last night he wanted to lay down on it again. And right now, as I type, he is sleeping once again on that twin bed. Oh me, oh my. Time to get those bed rails, I guess. Our crib days might be numbered. Let the night house roaming begin...

Enjoy the pictures from the past few days (a little out of order) - leading up to Halloween and from the weekend. Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!
