Fall Fun Day

Last Thursday Camden's class celebrated Fall Fun Day with cookies, pumpkin decorating, games, crafts, music and costumes. I loaded up both boy decked out in their costumes and headed up the school ready for the mornings festivities. The class decorated pumpkins with stickers, construction paper shapes and pom-poms. They then covered sugar cookies with frosting and loaded on the sprinkles.







The class trekked across the parking lot from the school building to the church's fellowship hall to play games, complete fall craft projects, get their faces painted and collect candy treats. Camden and I had a blast going from game to game and craft to craft. Thankfully, Deegan slept the morning away in the stroller allowing me to interact with Camden and his class as much as possible.
Happy Fall!

Skin and Bones

I managed to wrangle both of my little guys into
their skeleton pajamas and snapped a few
(honestly, more than a few) pictures while they matched.
Aren't they boo-tiful?

Think-Think-Think

This isn't just a nap...he's deep in thought.

Bath Time

I gave Deegan his first bath a few nights ago (if I wasn't sleep deprived I'm sure I could remember which-if I had to guess I'd say Saturday).



Camden climbed right up on the counter willing to offer his two years of bath taking experience. Brian was on standby with the video camera capturing the first of many dips in the tub.



We had a few initial tears which quickly subsided once I started washing and pouring water over him. We've had minimal tears during his subsequent baths, usually at the initial entry into the tub. I think we have a second little water baby on our hands.

He's Awake

Deegan is just one day short of being four weeks old and is
starting to spend more time awake during the day.
I'm finally able to snap pictures with his eyes open.
(we're still not too sure what color those beautiful eyes are going to be)

It's the Great Pumpkin

At least it was until we cut it open, scooped out its guts and carved a face into it. Now it is better than great...its fabulous!
This was Camden's first pumpkin carving experience and he had so much fun that we've already picked up a second larger pumpkin to cut into tomorrow evening. Truth be told, Brian and
I had as much fun as he did.

Pumpkin Patch

Sunday evening we ventured to a local pumpkin patch to let Camden pick out his own little pumpkin to carve.



Once we arrived at the pumpkin patch I made him take a picture with his little brother before he headed straight for the hay pile without so much as giving the field of pumpkins a second glace.









We managed to select the perfect little pumpkin before having to coax him out of the hay pile for the second time. Next year he'll probably request a visit to the hay pile rather than the pumpkin patch.
As he said "That's my favorite thing Momma."
