Late October Randomness...and photo overload...

We have been so busy with the business of life around here the last few days. A few runny noses, some rainy days, making a couple hundred tamales, making memories and just soaking up this wonderful life that we have been blessed with.

So, as nothing seems to make a cohesive story, I present randomness (with lots of photos)...

Rainboots:
Still a little big, but you are a boy who loves his boots....cowboy boots, rain boots...you want to wear them every day. Here are your latest...now we just need a good soaker that makes some good puddles for splashin'.







My view:
...from my rearview mirror (while at a stoplight - no snapping while driving)...gosh how I love these two little miracles...







Again with the pumpkin patch:
but this time...no adgenda. No pictures to be taken, no commitments, just a complete willingness to let my boys lead the way. I am learning more and more to let go and let them lead the fun - we all have a much better time and usually I am the one that really learns something when I slow down and let them show me the view from their world. We spent an eternity at the play train...Mack entertained the onlookers with loud and enthusiastic proclamations of "All aboard!" He may have a career as a future Disneyland Steam Train Driver.



along for the ride...



....note the boots...









We fed and watched a multitude of farm animals...



And played some more:


Played for a good solid hour in the 2000 lb bean pit...if they wouldn't sprout, I would totally have one of these in my back yard. They are mesmerized...





Played on and in tractors...





And played another hour in the sand...before we were "done" and the crowds became too tough to handle...we made our escape back to home for naps and Sunday afternoon lazies...





Mack's New "Like":

Mack is convinced he likes limes. Really, really likes limes. If he was on facebook, he would be a fan... they are "duh-wish-uss" and "sour", he always wants more - and the faces I get in return entertainment are priceless...







Halloween update:
And finally this week we start ramping up for Halloween night in a few days. With pumpkins to carve, costumes to finalize, final outside decorations to get up for the big night, and candy to prep...it is going to be very big doin's around here. We have been watching all the age appropriate Halloween specials to brief Mack on the proper Halloween etiquette. I think he is ready...and completely not ready for what is about to happen. But he is going to love it! Heck, I am going to love it!

Bring it...we are so ready...
