november...

november is going by quickly! here are random pictures from various things throughout this month...


we went to the pumpkin patch the first weekend in november - i was really excited about this because i remembered going there last year (and loving it) and it's the same place that has the strawberry picking where we went in april. momma took a bajillion pictures with her nice camera. when she loaded the memory card into our computer, she found out it was corrupt and none of our pictures turned out. she wanted to scream and stomp and pout but actually handled it really well. thankfully, she took four pictures with the other camera. this was the best one...




clearly not one we'll be enlarging for the mantle, but a picture nonetheless. we'll remember the beautiful fall day, awesome ice cream, oodles of pumpkins, hungry goats, and other fun moments with the pictures we took in our heads.

our theme of the week and word/letter of the day is still going strong. momma is amazed i'm still so into it and it continues to influence every week day. a couple weeks ago we did N for Nest day and made chocolate/cereal nests with a yellow starburst egg inside - yum! momma is the bomb because she almost always finds a way to relate an edible treat to our word of the day - score.




luke and i get to take baths together now - fun! he sure does like me. i like to dump water on him. good times...

he also has taken up baby yoga in his spare time - note his crossed feet. this is how he sits on a regular basis, which momma finds hilarious...

besides baby yoga, he's also into screeching, shouting, growing his first tooth, laughing at almost anything i do, looking forward to the moment during the day when daddy comes home from work, waking up early from his afternoon nap, refusing all vegetables that momma offers, riding in shopping carts, and eating tiny alligators...

he's cute, folks...

couldn't you just eat this little face?

as for me, i really like doing puzzles...

and i have been having the best time with daddy home this week. he's been doing little projects around the house, and i have been very helpful. the weather is so warm, so we've been outside most of the day. while daddy was staining the deck, he set up two yellow ones for me to drive his golf bag carrier over - totally cool! this kept me busy for most of monday and tuesday...

and back inside i got to help momma with the mopping! for those of you who were familiar with the blue floral wallpaper formerly in my bathroom, please note the new walls - whoa!!

we had both our kitchen and upstairs bathroom painted - yes!!! i promise to share more pictures of this excitement on momma's behalf at my next post. but for now, just a peek during my mopping...

we've been doing some fall crafts, still baking a lot, and doing plenty of manly-dude things too. and i don't know if you can tell in the pictures or not, but i appear to have my first, real scar from that incident a while ago with the table corner at the mall. momma may never get over this, since she despises the mall to begin with. however, i do look pretty rough and tough with a face scar, so she's considering just getting me a leather jacket and rolling with that look for awhile... we'll see...

i'm very excited about thanksgiving and then especially the Christmas season. i will have a post over the weekend about how we've celebrated thanksgiving this whole month. and i hope you all have a wonderful turkey day and if we don't get to see you, know that we miss you bunches and look forward to seeing you soon. bye! :)
