Pumpkin Patch at CHOM

We took John Huston to the Children's Hand on Museum for what was advertised for Pumpkin Patch Madness. Even though it was not what it was made out to be, John Huston still had a blast playing. Here are a few shots of the funness!

Welcoming Fall..

Autumn is my favorite time of year! I love the beautiful blend of oranges, reds and browns. The cool, crisp weather is unbelievable. Fall decorations are a must have as I use pumpkins, scarecrows and leaves to decorate. A perfect day is riding around looking at all the fall foliage. James Spann said today that it will peak in about 3 weeks! Along with fall, comes football games, pumpkin patches, Halloween and family birthdays. Cooler weather means sweaters, boots and a darker shade of makeup, lol!

(my belated b'd gift, Steve Madden buckle riding boots)

Every year I buy a little something new to decorate for this wonderful time of year. This year is the pumpkin patch sign. I waited too late last year and they were already sold out, so I made sure that when it came in stock this year that it was mine!

Speaking of Halloween, I have got John Huston's costume all ready. He is going to be a Future Fisherman. And since Buster can't be left out, he will be a fish!

all that's left is some fishing lures on his hat to complete the look!

I guess we have to start a countdown to the big 2...

because John Huston is 2-0 months old today. And he already looks way past 2! He is getting so tall and growing out of all his 18 month clothes. I had saved some cute sleeveless 24 month outfits for him to wear next spring and I am afraid he will be too big for them!

Today we went to watch Southern Academy's homecoming parade with one of my besties and her little boy. It was his first parade to watch and his favorite part was watching the firetruck go by. I wonder where he recognized that?? We got lots of candy and he was on a sugar high for most of the day. Last weekend off we went to the river and he went on his first boat ride. He did really well the first part, but on the way back he was tired of sitting still and was ready for something else. We also have been making short trips to Lions Park this month and letting him run around and play on the Skate Park. We are so ready for it to be cooler so we can take him to the zoo one Saturday. He is starting to say small sentences now like "Here we go," "Bye love you," and "Over there".

Our Wild Indian Boy

is 19 months old! He is a true wild Indian boy as we like to call him. He loves to take off running as soon as we step outside or go anywhere in public. He especially loves it when he knows we are chasing him as he lets out that shrill giggle every time. Bathtime is very challenging now due to him running up and down the halls butt naked from us as it's his own little game.
It amazes us how smart he is. He knows what container or lid matches exactly, what end goes into a certain hole, and what part goes to each toy. He loves trucks and tractors now and rolls them back and forth saying 'vroom vroom'. Another long waited milestone is that he is getting a lot better eating table food now. He loves speghetti o's and grilled cheese sandwiches. Lloyd is really loving being able to take John Huston where ever he goes and he gets some things accomplished in his shop. Of course we have a little swiper, as we also call him, and he rearranges his whole shop while Lloyd works. John Huston has a funny vocabulary right now. He says 'oh wee', how de do', and will carry on a conversation with you in his jabber talk and then ends it with 'bye'!
