It's called a picture!

Well after a bit of a hiatus from posting pictures (6 weeks) I am back. I won't make excuses, just know that we have long exhausting days chasing Caden and I am too tired at 10pm to post (or there is a good tv show I want to watch....) Either way, here are some new pics so you can see a little of what we are up to... This picture of the cars is a taste of what we find on a daily basis. This is the remnant of a dog door from the previous owner, could be a cat door. Caden put his cars in there one day and we noticed it after he was in bed. It just made me laugh that he would think to line his cars up on the ledge in the dog door. Caden went to a birthday party for his friend at daycare. It was at Chuck E Cheese. That is a lot to live up to for a 2 year old birthday. Caden had fun with Ray. They just kept making each other laugh. Don't worry, we are setting the bar low for Caden's 2nd birthday. We will be inviting people over to have pizza and play. Nothing fancy, just time to watch the little ones have fun.

This is what a cord of wood looks like. We have a wood stove and we need wood. Since oil was $3.70 a gallon for the furnace (in September) we decided we needed some wood too. We found a bargain, had it delivered and Justin & I stacked it. Caden helped a little, but Justin really did most of the work.

This was pumpkin carving. We had fun with this. Caden was really fascinated by the pumpkin carving and was real interested in what Justin was doing. He even scooped the inards out.

We took my nephew Charlie with us to the pumpkin patch to give my sister a breather. Her husband is in grad school and has to spend any extra time he has studying, giving my sister little relief. We rely on her for help quite a bit, so we were delighted that she asked us for help. We made a fun morning of visiting green bluff. We walked through the apple orchards, walked through the pumpkin patch, picked our pumpkins, watched the farm launch corncobs from and air gun, and then finished off the morning with lunch at McDonalds. Charlie climbed all the way to the top of the play structure and then stopped in a tube. He was about 10 feet in the air, and I was worried that I would be going up there too. Charlie powered through and we all had a nice lunch. The boys even ate their cheeseburgers.
