Halloween (and everything up until December!)

I know, I let it go again. Like everyone else, we have been super busy here. With fall came the yard preparations (oh boy, did we have apples everywhere! And we don't even have an apple tree!) and the realization that in one year Gage will be going to school and we will be dealing with school supplies. I'm thinking I should stock up on them now. I wonder... do pencils go bad?

We had Halloween out at the farm this year. The boys were so excited, but by the time we got there, they were hungry, over tired and grouchy. We made it to my Grandma's, her neighbour's and then back to the farm before we called it a night. They still had a good time, and they definitely don't need any more candy than that!

We almost had the most adorable trio of boys in costume this year. Jude wanted to be Eeyore.



Nate wanted to be Tigger.



And Gage wanted to be Pooh. However, we were unable to fine a Pooh costume that fit him. But, he did see this costume, and decided that's exactly what he wanted to be.



That's right, he was a cow. It was awesome!

We have spent a lot of time in the yard again this fall. We still love the yard and the boys enjoy being outside so much. Today it is too cold to go outside (it has been for a week or so now) and it's so sad. The boys ask all the time to go outside, Nate and Jude will even get their boots and put them on, thinking that if they are already dressed, I will have to let them out. Hopefully it will warm up again soon.

Nate likes to get right into the dirt to play.



When it's too cold to go outside, we go into the basement. Yet another word we've had to use a substitute for when talking about it in front of the boys. As soon as we mention basement, they all want to go down there, use the bathroom downstairs or do the laundry. There's a lot more room down there and different toys to play with.

Jude has taken to finding pennies everywhere! I have cleaned the basement numerous times, but he still finds change all over. I am very glad that he doesn't put things in his mouth anymore.



Nate likes to be safe when riding his "motor bicycle". He did this all himself.
