An October Review

I can't believe October is already over. It seems like time goes so quickly - and I really don't want it to! We had a busy month with a lot of fun Halloween activities:

We got invited to a Halloween party in the neighborhood. Landon had SO much fun playing with the other kids and the toys. This is him and a friend of his ... playing with a pink oven :)!
We made a visit to the pumpkin patch. We love the Big Red Barn in Santaquin.
They added a lot of fun things this year - like this truck. Landon's favorite book is called "The Little Blue Truck" and it looks just like this one! He liked it so much he licked (yes, licked) the steering wheel. Hence the dirt on his face :)!
He (okay we) picked out a perfect little pumpkin that is just his size!
Then we carved pumpkins! We actually didn't carve Landon's since it wasn't very big. But he LOVED the whole process. There was so much goo he could squish between his fingers, and his belly kept getting in it ... so he had to have a sink bath which was probably his favorite part of all! I have to steal these pics from my family - Jeff and I forgot our camera. But I'll post them soon because they are pretty hilarious!

We attempted to do family pictures TWICE and it rained both times! Seriously ... what are the odds? It was beautiful almost every other day of the month - go figure! So on Saturday we were all dressed up, and it was raining - but we decided just to take some ourselves anyways. In the rain. Some of them still turned out pretty cute! Again ... I will have to steal these and post them soon! However, taking pictures wore Landon out ... and we were able to snap this when he fell asleep in the car seat! His hat fell down like that on its own ...cute huh?
And then of course we had Halloween! We went to a Halloween brunch that morning that was so fun! I forgot to take my camera - but we were actually all dressed up! Then we went trick or treating that night. Grandma & Grandpa's house was best because Landon got a slinky (he thinks they are awesome) which was cool since the whole candy thing doesn't really work for him yet! We went to a few houses in the neighborhood, but it was really cold, so we called it a night.

He is a Cubs baseball player ... you know ... just in case that wasn't obvious!

Okay.

1. Ari - you look uh-freakin'-mazing.
2. That Landon is a handsome little charmer.
3. PUMPKIN PATCH! This was our first year doing that, and I'll never buy a pumpkin from the store again. NEVER, I TELL YOU! It was so great! And Wyatt walked around looking at all the squashed pumpkins in the dirt saying "oh, darnit". Guess who he got that from? (sheepish grin)
4. LANDON licked the TRUCK! That is so great! And that means you have to take it home with you, right? You lick it, you buy it?
