Who needs Toys?

The other day, we played in the leaves. The kids had a blast!!

And their favorite toy of late- is a box. A regular cardboard box that doesn't have a top or flaps.

October stuff

The Monday night before Halloween, we carved pumpkins. Orion did NOT like that he had to touch the "gross stuff" inside the pumpkin. And then, he didn't like the roasted pumpkin seeds. Silly boy.

On the Friday before Halloween, we went to the Pumpkin Patch. Orion really liked feeding the goats, and William really liked everything. I am a little bummed that we didn't get a family photo there this year.

Friday night, we went to the ward Trunk or Treat. Orion has been looking forward to this for a while. He dressed up as a dinosaur. William was supposed to be a clown, but the costume so did not fit. It was labeled 2T, but I think it is more like 12 month. So he went in jammies. I went as a mom. And Philip went as Dr. Horrible. Lest you think I am just an amazing seamstress, I just want you to know that I did not make Philips costume this year. My friend Ann, designed the pattern, and then sewed the whole thing for us!! She is amazing!! (And somehow I didn't get any pictures of the kids.)

On Halloween night, we stayed home and played games and watched movies.

Overall, I am happy that October is over with and that November is upon us. I am hoping that with the Bainbridge Family reunion coming up, and Thanksgiving, and then all the excitement of Christmas, that the next two months will go quickly and before I know it, my hips and back won't hurt anymore and I will be holding my new little baby boy.
