Trick or Treat

Madden's parents down the street invited us to go trick or treating. Madden went as a bear and Josh as a puppy.

Josh has perfected his CHEEEESE face
walking up to the first house

mmmmm....we let the boys have one candy after the first house so the understood the point of trick or treating
the neighborhood boys checking out each other's loot
Having a taste! I think he likes it. even though he only had two pieces today, and dinner in between he was still a little like a pin ball this evening.
Josh enjoyed that I pulled the chair up to the window so he could watch the kids walk by

Playdate at Kiera's

q-tip painting at Kiera's house. Kiera's mom Teresa works with me and Kiera was born about 5 months before Josh, but we finally got a chance to get the kids together to play. They had this cute art project ready to go, but all the kids wanted to do was run around the house chasing each other!

Happy Halloween!

Fall part 3

We continued our Fall festivities (on a somewhat warm day - hence the shorts) at Didier Farms. Here Josh had some fun trying to pick up a pumpkin. Later we let him pick out one much more his size. I know it's not a pick your own farm, but it's much closer to our home, and we couldn't handle a 1 hour drive with a 16 month old.

First Haircut

the before shot...the requisite, "why are you doing this to me?" shot
All in all, Josh did sit well for the haircut, but wasn't happy about it.

An after shot
