Here Comes Santa Claus!

Ben shared his list with Santa at a breakfast with Santa event this weekend. This year he asked for a lego train, helicopter and airplane.

Joe and I got to visit with Santa as well...

Legos & Cousins

Ben's first Lego masterpiece is a fire truck with a working ladder. He disappeared in his room for about 45 minutes and came out with his custom design. We were pretty impressed! He's really been into Legos recently and Joe's pretty happy about that!

Here's a cute one of Ben and Maggie. She's getting so big - they are great friends!

Spontaneous Memphis trip...

To the Moon!

Well, Ben recovered and was ready for trick-or-treating! Here's the costume Auntie and I made - and he actually WORE it - so that's good! The helmet was a tad wonky and he wore it the wrong way, but he had a great time so that's all that matters. He was very brave and walked up to a door and either said "Trick-or-Treat," "Happy Halloween" or his classic joke "Knock, Knock. Who's there? Banana. Banana who? PEACH!!!" We don't really get the joke, but he thinks it's hysterical. By the end of the night his backpack was FULL of candy and toys. It was a great night in Bubba & Grampy's neighborhood.

Fall Day

Ben's had a fever for five days (he seems to be feeling fine, but has had this fever for what feels like forever)! Joe and I really needed to get out of the house this weekend so we headed to Lone Elk Park to see the animals and fall leaves. It was a beautiful day and we were glad to get out of the house for a bit! Here's to hoping Ben's better by Halloween - I've worked WAY too hard on his costume for him to be sick :) Pics to come...

Misc...

Making brownies...

Relaxin' with Daddy.

Ben at his buddy Dillon's 3rd birthday party. They wore the pinata as their hat.

The Great Pumpkin-

It was a great day to visit the pumpkin patch with Bebe & Grandad. We spent the night at Innsbrook to see the fall colors and went to the pumpkin patch in the morning. We took a wagon ride, fed the goats, jumped in the bounce house and played in a giant bucket of beans (hmm?).
