Halloween

The boys had a busy week-end of Halloween activities. Friday night we went to the Fall Festival at our church. Carson was Spiderman and Caleb was a pumpkin. Carson seemed to enjoy playing all the games and just running back and forth across the gym (doesn't take much to entertain this kid!). Caleb was content to be held all evening - something new???


Caleb as Tigger

Saturday night, we took them trick-or-treating in our neighborhood (Caleb went as Tigger that night since it was so cold outside - thanks for the costumes, Jess!).

Carson was not shy about knocking on neighbors' doors. In fact, he was trying to go into everyone's house. I'm not sure if anyone could understand his version of 'Trick-or-Treat', but I knew what he was trying to say.





At the end of the night, Carson became 'studious Spiderman'

Unfortunately I was unable to get a picture of the two of them together - Carson is not interested in sharing the spotlight with his little brother right now. Maybe next year!

Fall Fun

We took Carson and Caleb to Ring Farm for a Saturday morning of fall festivities. The weather was brisk, to say the least. Not the best day for walking around outside! But we had to continue with the family tradition of a trip to the pumpkin patch and there weren't many week-ends left to go.

This is why Caleb was not in our family photo above...doesn't he look so peaceful?

Shea took Carson down the slide (you get inside this oversize plastic tube-thing and slide down sitting on a burlap sack). It was surprisingly fast!


Just trying to stay warm in here!

Carson loved sitting on the pumpkins...each one of them...literally! I think he just likes to get his picture taken.

Visiting Papa and Nana


We just returned from a visit to Hernando, MS to visit Papa and Nana this past week-end. The weather couldn't have been better so we took advantage of it and went to the Memphis Zoo on Saturday.





Here's Papa and Nana with Carson.














Carson looks like he really knows how to drive that rocket ship - one hand on the wheel and the other just resting on the side...wonder where he learned that...








Papa and Carson riding the carousel.










Carson really seemed to like the panda bear.







And where was Caleb this whole time, you ask? Sleeping in the stroller!


Thanks for a fun week-end!!
