Halloween

Holidays are so much more fun with little kids. Edison really grasped the "Halloween" concept and to my great pleasure was excited about every Halloween activity that we did.


I think I told Edison that we were going to eat the pumpkin seeds out of the pumpkin, but I must not have told him that we had to bake them first.

His very first carmel apple. I thought for sure he'd just lick the carmel off, but he surprised me and ate all the way to the core!

Trying on Mom's Halloween costume, over and over and over again.

Here he is in his pumpkin glory! I was so happy that he kept his costume on the entire ward party!!! And yes, that is candy corn juice spilling from his mouth. The center piece on our table was gone in about five min.

Such a happy pumpkin.

He even whispered a "trick or treat" at every stop.

Mixing in with his natural surroundings.

Poor Nate had to light those pumpkins over and over and over again because you know who had too much fun blowing the candles out.

Fall Has Been Good to Us.

Fall has been absolutely 100% enjoyable. No complaints here. Although the weather has gotten frigid, we've had some wonderful sunny "sweater weather" days as well. I had to post some pictures of those Fall moments that made me the happiest.

This is one of our beautiful trees outside out front room window. When the sun hits the tree just right, our front room couch is the best place to snuggle up and read.

Even better, watching the squirrels from inside come by on our tree for some bird feeder treats! (There he is on the second branch up)

I know it's blurry, but this picture captures our street at the very beginning of fall. It was like having streets paved with gold. It only lasted for about two days till all the leaves fell off, but it certainly was fun to walk through.

This is Niagara Falls River at the beginning of the season. Very, very pretty.

And of course, lots of leaves to rake and lots of piles to jump in! Edison loved jumping in the leaves.

Pumpkin patch, after pumpkin patch. We couldn't get enough.

When you're dressed right, a rainy day walk in the leaves can be nice!

If it was too wet and rainy outside, it gave us an excuse to stay inside and make some delicious pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!!!
