Halloween weekend

This past weekend was chock-full of activities, and we even skipped a few...JW, my mom, and I headed to the Arboretum again on Friday morning. We had to take advantage of our membership since it expired on Monday. We plan to renew it, just not until the Spring :-)
Here is Jameston busy people-watching!

He copied a girl in this picture who was getting her picture taken by her Mom right next to him. Luckily, they did not mind :-)

We were able to get there early enough this time to not have to wait a day and a half in line for the Cinderella carriage. He thought it was fun! Counting the pumpkins
Big boy
Again, he copies a boy who was there right before he was (at least he let me take his picture---usually he's off as I am pressing "click")
The hay bales were a hit again for our second trip!
Oh, and we caught the last part of the puppet show they put on as you walk out. He LOVED it and probably could have sat there for another 30 minutes!
Over the weekend, we did some fun Fall crafts which included pumpkin painting
And carving!
He was a little weary at first of the slimy pumpkin seeds, but then he dug right int!
The he "helped" me bake the seeds-we do this every year! I don't think we eat them all, but they are fun to make and sure smell good!
On Sunday we were lucky enough to see FOUR hot air balloons (there are only three in the picture) from our driveway. Fun!
Sunday night we headed over to the Kerns for a Halloween party. The kids did well for pictures :-)
They had a BLAST playing outside
and swinging at the pinata
Jackpot!
"Mom, I could have sworn there was more candy in here." :-)
Monday night, we headed to Emmie's house for her 2nd birthday party. For some reason I didn't take any pictures :-( Then we headed home and went around the block for Jameston's first real trick-or-treating experience. Love it!
We hope you all had a wonderful, sweet Hallowee as well :-) He did so well!
My guys!
Love it!
Unfortunately, Jameston's love of M&M's grew from this weekend (that is really one of the only candies I'll let him have). We hope to incorporate his chocolate love for when we being potty-training :-)
What a great weekend! Ready for next year :-)
