Happy Halloween!!!

Nathan picked one big pumpkin and two little ones from the pumpkin patch. Since we can't carve the little ones, we improvised! I cut shapes out of paper and Nathan did the rest - nice job!
Carving the big pumpkin. With lots of encouragement and giggles, we actually managed to get Nathan to drop the spoon and touch the goop with his BARE HANDS!! Hard to believe, but he did it!

Waiting impatiently by the front door for the rest of us to be ready to go.

Brett's ready in his tigger suit!

"I make this look good!"

Our little furballs!

Nathan petting his little brother!

And we're finally on our way! Daddy stayed home to give out candy while we hit the streets to score some treats!

ROOOOOOARRRRR!!!!!

Random pictures from September and October.

Nathan riding his car on the driveway. He will ride that car in circles for an hour if we let him!
Brett with his funny ears! I have a picture of Nathan wearing this same outfit (see November 2006)!

We all went to the Richmond Fair with our good friends Gord and Anik and their two daughters. Nathan was a little bit scared of all of the rides and noise but we managed to have a good time.
The loud fair noises woke Brett up and he was NOT happy about it!

We managed to sneak Nathan onto the bumper cars even though he was not quite "this tall". Of course he had to sit in the driver's seat! Luckily my legs are just long enough to reach the gas pedal from the passenger seat.

Why are you stopping mom?? LET'S GO!

Random picture of Brett hanging out in the Jumperoo

Nathan loves how tall he feels on Daddy's shoulders!
And he loves his daddy! Awww!

We took a walk in the forest to feed the chickadees! Brett slept the whole time.
I love how his drool bib looks like a Santa beard in this pic!
Nathan found a comfy stump to rest on.

And Brett now joins us at the table for meals in his high chair! What a big boy!
I love his little legs sticking out the bottom. It won't be long before his feet touch the foot rest so I wanted to make sure to capture the memory. He's growing so fast!

Wow, so 2 kiddies leaves little time for blogging! Here's a long overdue update - Nathan's 3rd birthday!!

His actual birthday was on a Wednesday so we had a quiet evening at home decorating cupcakes!
He's blowing out his 3 candles...

Getting the decorations just right

And chowing down!! YUM!

On the weekend we celebrated with family and the much anticipated digger cake! Blowing out his #3 candle.

Not as eager to chow down this time! Luckily we all got a piece before the demolition began :)
Thanks to everyone for the lovely gifts and great times! I can't believe our (big) little boy is three already!!
