October Playgroup

We had our monthly playgroup today & all of the little ones wore their costumes. To say that Joshua was unhappy would be huge understatement. He screamed & kicked the entire time! I think the costume made him hot & mad. But he also wanted to run around & got mad whenever I would turn him around to go back to the group. Needless to say, we did not get any pictures with the other kids sitting in the hay with a pumpkin. The only ones we managed were in the parking lot in stollers (which also made him very unhappy). There were a few other little ones that showed up after these pictures were taken. I wish I could have gotten some pictures of them as well, but I was way too busy chasing mine around!




We had a bumblebee, a dog, the cookie monster, a pumpkin, and a bear.

Zoo With Daddy



John's first time with the Lorikeets. He loved it, and Joshua was so excited that he forgot to try to touch them. That is actually a good thing, though! At one point John had about a dozen birds all over him.



The best picture I could get of these two. The tiger is right up at the glass on the days I forget my camera, so we were glad that he somewhat cooperated the day I had my camera!



The carousel was decorated for Halloween & was running backwards. The ride seemed to last forever (& I was watching from the outside)....John was a little disoriented when he came off. I mean, it really ran for like 3 entire songs!

They've grown up so much since last year when we went! Below is a picture from last September.

Pumpkin Patch October 2008

It's amazing how fast things change! This year we had a hard time getting him to sit still long enough to take a picture.

The Pumpkin Patch

We went to the Pumpkin Patch again this year. We decided to venture into the petting zoo...though I think they called it a "Learning Farm". Joshua loved it! They had bunnies, a pig, a pony, an alpaca, goats, sheep, chickens, and a calf. The goats were very hungry...they tried to bite our pants & stroller!





Our best attempt at a family portrait. Joshua just wanted to run around. He loved running in the teepees they had set up.
