Pumpkin patch

This is another catch up post from a few weeks ago.  We went with cousin to see the pumpkins this year.  Photography during the middle of the day with too much light and lots of shadows is difficult but it didn't really matter because these cute stinkers weren't interested in posing for the camera anyways.  Becoming a children's photographer is not in my forseeable future...

Playing in puddles

These photos are from a few weeks back but it was the first time Cole really got to use his rain boots for rain and not just a fashion statement to church and walmart and everywhere else! 

Of course we had to take some of our toys with us on our puddle seeking expedition.

Splish splashing!

Trying to make more puddles with the fire hydrant...maybe he will be a fireman in the future...

Happy Halloween!

We aren't big Halloween people in our house but still think it's fun for little ones to dress up (especially if they aren't gross/gory and girls are showing an age appropriate amount of skin).  Cole bounced between being a cowboy and a fireman but last night was just ready to go see our neighbors that treat him like a surrogate grandchild that he didn't want to wear either costume (only really had fireman costume as he already has boots and cowboy hat).  I told him he needed a jacket and hat because it was cold outside so that is the only reason he has this on....

 "Mama, quit taking my picture so we can leave!"

 He came and stood right in front of me to tell me he was ready to go "tricktreat" (all one word, without the or).

It's really hard getting good pictures at night, especially when the outfit has reflectors!  This is the best outside shot I got.  Hope everyone was safe and had fun!

Food

Here are some random shots of eating and cooking food...

We love some Mexican food!

FYI, pudding doesn't contain milk.  However "real" milk is needed to set the pudding as rice milk results in a tasty but soupy mess.  However, rice milk freezes to make super yummy banana pudding pops!

He ate that whole thing by himself!

We love to make cookies!

We get really excited with the spatula and end up with a really big mess....

I was proud of this dessert...homemade donuts:)
