Fall Festival

On Wednesday night, we all got to go the the fall festival that a church near by was having. It was really special because Ben got to take off work for a few hours and go with us. Kyle had a blast wearing his Halloween costume (Thank you Cousin Sharon!) and playing the games at the festival.

This is a ring toss with hula hoops!

This was the cutest thing... it was a baby pool with packing peanuts that had candy at the bottom. Kyle didn't care a thing in the world about the candy but he loved playing in the packing peanuts. (Hint Hint Ga Ga!!!)

Outside Kyle got a bowl of fruit loops to make a candy necklace but he decided to eat them instead! Take a look at the pumpkin side of him - it's ELMO!!

Kyle got to ride Daddy's shoulders back to the car!

Now on Friday Kyle has his first Halloween party at school! I have takenoff work so I can go and to be honest I can not wait!!!

Work, Work, and More Work...with a little fun!

Hello! Things have been VERY busy for us lately. Ben and I sat down on Monday to look at the calendar of upcoming stuff and it was very overwhelming. But I guess it may have seemed that way after we have just worked all weekend --Saturday and Sunday. But no rest for the weary! It's halloween week!! :-)

Thank goodness Kyle has been in the best mood and because he has had several late nights with Mommy lately. But even after these late nights he is waking up in the mornings happy and ready to go to school!

Ben took this picture while Kyle was eating his yogurt before school. Kyle is very much a "I do it myself" kind of boy right now. As you can see the "I do it myself" can get kind of messy!

Kyle posing in his Halloween shirt Aunt Amber gave him. Thank you Aunt Amber! This is his favorite shirt! I think we may have our picture taken with Santa Claus with it on! :-)

Just in case Ben and I didn't think we had enough planned... we had Christmas pictures on Saturday morning. As you can see Kyle is waiting patiently (well for a little bit) before the pictures. By the way- he did great! I can not wait to see the proofs!

Then he decided to lay down!!

The rest of our week we will be doing fun halloween stuff with Kyle. I am looking forward to taking him to fall festivals, his Halloween party at school, and carving a pumpkin with daddy. But mostly just enjoying every minute of this time. I know that he will only be this age once and honestly it is passing by way to quickly!
