Happy Halloween!

We went to Grandma & Grampy's (Steve's parents) neighborhood for trick-or-treat. Our little Dragon had lots of fun trick-or-treating! By the last house he was peeking in the window waiting for them to answer the door. And instead of saying "thank you" or "bye-bye" he said "more" & tried to get more candy. We had practiced earlier, so he knew to take the candy & put it in his pumpkin. Lots of people were handing out pretzels, so he can even eat some of his goodies!

Sorry the pictures aren't better. Owen hated the hood & didn't want to sit still :-)

The Little Drummer Boy

Owen practiced his drumming today, b/f getting ready for Trick-or-Treat.

Phrase of the Day: "No Way"

Owen's new phrase today is "no way". It is hilarious to hear him say it! We think that he got it from his book, "Who Stole the Cookie" b/c we can't think of where else it would have come from.

He is so funny!

Fall Festival

Last night was the Fall Festival at my school. Owen enjoyed the bean bag toss, he is very skilled at it. We all had fun on the jack-o-lantern lit walk on the school's new walking path. Most of the games & activities were too old for Owen, but he had fun meeting mommy's students. Although, he thought everyone looked pretty funny in their costumes. Unfortunately, the camera batteries died so we didn't get many pictures.

Mommy's Purse

Owen loves to grab my purse & walk around the house w/ it. He even carries it out to the car for me sometimes. Steve is less than thrilled, of course. Notice how he wears it around his neck? That is b/c he sees Steve carry bags around his neck when he brings Owen in from the car.

Sorry for the close-up images, Owen's new thing is walking right up to the camera, saying "mine" & trying to take the camera.

Play It Again Owen

Owen has discovered the joys of creating his own pots & pans band. Bring on the Tylenol!

Apple Picking

We had a beautiful fall morning for apple picking yesterday. Owen didn't like it as much as he liked blueberry picking, but he still had fun. He especially liked taking 2 or 3 bites of an apple, then disgarding it & trying another one. He also liked stepping on fallen apples & smooshing them, thanks for that one daddy :-)

Owen enjoyed the huge pumpkin display at the farmstand, so much fun to try & climb on. Mommy & daddy enjoyed hot cider & cider donuts, yummy!

Our 5th Anniversary

We celebrated our 5th anniversary on October 11 with a wonderful dinner at Villa Banca. Everything was delicious!

Owen had fun w/ Auntie Debbie while we were out.

Happy 30th Birthday Steve!!

Steve turned the BIG 3-0 on October 3. Since everybody but the birthday boy was sick, we had a quite night at home. With apple pie instead of birthday cake :-)

Daddy & Owen on vacation

Despite car problems & Owen being sick, Steve & Owen were able to do a few fun activities during Steve's vacation. They went to the Kalidscope in Concord & hiking in Quechee.

The Slacker!

I have been a total slacker about maintaining the blog since I began working in September. It has been a very busy month for all of us! New job for me, daycare for Owen, vacation for Steve, car troubles & lots of illnesses & rashes for Owen (& me). Some fun stuff, some really not fun stuff.

Anyway, here are a few pictures from September :-)
