Halloween!

     Friday, on Halloween, we kept the tradition of going to Gigi's to celebrate. Jeffrey and I picked Amanda and Kent up from the airport in the afternoon and went over for the shindig. Barb and John also came for dinner and pre-river party visit. Jeffrey trick-or-treated at about 5 houses. He got the hang of it quickly after he realized they were adding "treats" to his "hemi," pumpkin!

 Amanda passed out candy while we went trick-or-treating

 Kent read cook books!

Halloween Party

     We've been so busy Halloween-ing around here! We went to a great baby Halloween party at our friend's house last Saturday. Jeffrey played with all the babies, ate spooky snacks and didn't so much like the slime!

Jeffrey is getting used to the nursery at church during my Bible study. The teacher sends me pictures to assure me he is not upset-so sweet!

 

Hemis Galore!!!

  

   If you've been reading, you know that Jeffrey calls pumpkins, "hemis." Alice wanted to meet us at a pumpkin patch and have a visit, but we weren't so sure where to go. We ended up going to Milburger's, which is where Aunt Jen and I took J last year and Alice's sister has taken her kids for photo ops. We had a great time. There were hemis and a scary hay maze, which spooked us out way too much to have Jeffrey enter. There were also chickens, a beautiful rooster, coi (sp?) fish, cats and dogs that kept us entertained.

 He stared at this Dia de los Muertos decoration for a while

This chicken let him pet her, then attacked him!

 

We also went ahead and carved our own hemi this week because it was starting to get a little soft on the top and I knew the deer had their eyes on it! I needed to get the seeds out while they were still good, (Brant doesn't love them toasted like I do. Jeffrey wanted to like them and I think he will, but after trying, we decided it was a choke hazard!) We used Brant's great idea of cookie cutters and a mallet this year!

 

 

 My texted picture letting me know Jeffrey is doing just fine in the nursery during my Bible study...Whew! Not terribly happy, but not crying.

 We visited the Book Fair at the church school after Bible study. The 8th grade boys in the class that came in during that time were so sweet to Jeffrey. I don't know who thought the other was cooler! They were so cute. Cynthia gave Jeffrey a book and Gigi bought several for our collection!
