My Monsters Halloween 2012

We had a really fun time taking Will out on Halloween this year! It was his first time trick or treating and though we only went to about 5-6 houses, it was great to watch him enjoy the festivities! He caught right on to the game plan... ring door bell or knock, say TWEEK OR TWEET in your sweetest voice, say THANK YOU, and boom candy in your bucket!
Will has been saying he's scared of lots of things lately one being his costume so I was glad to get it on him without a fight, I'm sure the promise of candy didn't hurt at all!
The night ended with a big pot of chili for momma and dada, and candy and shrek for Will, and answering the door to hand out a little candy. Hope everyone had a fun and safe Halloween!

October love with picture overload!

Last Saturday Luke Will and I had a fun little family afternoon at Rombachs pumpkin patch. Fall, Pumpkin patches, sweat shirts, cooler weather, bon fires (not as much anymore) ALL things pumpkin.... I LOVE this time of year! That being said I was chomping at the bit to get my man to the pumpkin patch, it was the first time I was able to take him! Last year we skipped it due to weather and being out of town for Jake's wedding, and boy was the wait worth it! I really liked going to Rombachs because the whole thing didn't center around one big hay ride to pick out your pumpkin, there were so many other things to do and see. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time, Will was entranced by all things orange and all the spooky decorations, and we might finally be curbing this "I'm scared" stage :)
Sorry for the photo dump, I just couldnt choose, so many great memories!

While I love all things Fall, I also love having a RED October, which we did! Luke and I were lucky enough to attend two of the play off games, but we lost last night to the giants and will not be making it a 12 in 12 this season.... Heres to next year! 

still staring at the spooky witch lol!

My lil family Oct 2012

he was confused why he couldnt pet the animals like at papas farm

Dada sits alone with bert and ernie

looks like a good bite!

Dada is so protective he rode this little ride with Will

beep-beep

this picture cracks me up

what a good daddy :)

Will LOVES tunnels, but this one was a bit too big for his liking

It killed this frugal momma to spend 5 dollars on a pony ride when he owns his very own... but what can I say, he gets what he wants.

Will is totally at that age that is is into absolutely and utterly everything, I've been trying to do some crafts wtih him to have some planned activities but there's only so much he can do too.... We made this pumpkin craft, he did pretty good!
