Happy Halloween

Tonight was Owen's first time Trick or Treating door to door. He had lots of fun. We went with some of our neighbors which made it more fun.

Is it time yet?

A little premature. Take off the wrapper kid.

Check'n out the loot.

I'm looking forward to next year.
This year was too much fun to not do it again.
Maybe next year we will decorate the outside of the house.
Maybe.

Our Halloween Family Home Evening

For our FHE fun we carved our very first pumpkin. I don't remember Garett and I ever having a pumpkin for Halloween until this year. It was so much fun carving it, and we love how it turned out. The best part was watching Owen try to gut the thing. He didn't seem to mind the texture or the mess.

I thought it was odd that most of the seeds had taken root.
If I had room in my yard I would have planted some of them.

Dig in!

The fun part.

Trunk or Treat

Tonight was our church Trunk or Treat. It was a lot of fun watching all the kids dressed up, enjoying games and overdosing on sugar. There was a chili cook off, we didn't enter but we brought corn bread which was all gone by the end of the evening so I'll guess that it turned out well. Owen had fun playing with his nursery friends and loved wearing the dinosaur outfit until it came off then he would have nothing more to do with it. He was a little worn out by the Trunk or Treat time but as soon as he figured out that people were giving him candy he found the energy to go car to car saying please.

Multi Taksing

Our sweet son has learned the value of multi tasking. :) Look closely at his mouth in the photo.

That's right, a sucker and his paci at the same time. Way to have it all Owen!

The Apple Festival

Yesterday was our very first trip to the Apple Festival. After all these years in Georgia I've never been. We went early in the morning which was a very good idea since the place was packed with people. There were lots of arts and crafts and delicious food. We bought some Apple Butter and tried it on pancakes this morning...Delicious!

Some down time at the small park near where we parked.

So tired after a long day.

Berry Patch Farms

Today we spent the morning at Berry Patch Farms in Woodstock. We had fun looking at the pumpkins, animals and especially the tractors. Owen was pointing at them and waving to the drivers most of the time we were there. It was a lot of fun.

Poor Owey

Since Sunday Owen has been feeling bad and running a fever. He had a runny nose and a cough for a week already so I was thinking it had to be something else, but I wasn't sure. I thought it might pass on it's own but Monday night he was still feeling bad with a persistent fever. Tuesday I took Owen to see his doctor and the poor guy has a bad ear infection in both ears. I hope he will feel better in the next day or two. Oh ya, to make things worse, on Tuesday morning Garett was carrying Owen down stairs and slipped and fell down the stairs. Garett's shoulder is hurt and two of Owen's teeth went into his lip. It looks bad. I don't know what to do to keep it from ulcering. Any one know what I can do? Keep in mind this is for a 1-year old.
