October, so far.

We still haven't started working on re-doing the living room, so for now the boys have a giant empty room just for them to play in, which they love.

 Grandpa and Sessy came for a visit at the beginning of the month. The boys always look forward to visits because they know there will always be yummy treats and lots of story reading!  Beck's class decorated t-shirts with tie-dye and puffy paint for them to all wear on their class trip to the pumpkin patch. Check out Beck's shirt...

Hmmm...

Rob took Beck with his class to the pumpkin patch up in Hayden, AL. Usually I'll be the one to go, but I had to work that day, and besides Beck and  I always do a Mommy-Beck pumpkin patch trip to the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch in Clanton, AL, which is our favorite.

Here are some pics from the Clanton pumpkin patch. It is so rare and nice when we get to do things one-on-one with the kids. There are a lot of things that Beck can do that Baylor can't do, and so we are often limited when we have them both. Sometimes Beck gets overlooked because Baylor still needs so much attention, so it's nice to have a day where Beck (and I) could just run wild without worrying about fussing or diapers or naps.

 

 

 

Beck finally conquered the giant inflatable tiger slide, which he has been wanting to do since he was 2. I guess all of these recent birthday parties at Pump It Up have given him the courage to face his fears.

 

When we got out to the field to pick a pumpkin, Beck literally walked up to the first one he saw, picked it up and said "O.K., this one."

 

 

 

I made Beck go stand next to this sign. Yes, it says "fried Oreos" and "fried Snickers," and no, we didn't sample either one. Not for lack of interest though, I simply had run out of cash and didn't think it was worth it to go to an ATM just to buy fried candy. I am regretting that decision now.

How good would a fried Snickers be?!  Mmmm...

Here are some more random pictures from the last few weeks.

 

 

By the way, the picture quality on here is pretty terrible. Maybe my camera is the problem, it is kind of old.

The boys are looking forward to Halloween next week. Aunt Peg is coming for a visit, and Beck will be trick-or-treating for the 1st time. I am looking forward to rifling through his candy and picking out my favorites while he sleeps. Aside from a tiny cold snap it has stayed pretty mild down here, and the leaves haven't changed too much yet. Only one tree in our yard has turned, so far. We still need to buy a leaf blower and a bunch of other things that people who own houses are supposed to have.
