October, Part I

October 2nd, and an important choice had to be made… what to be for Halloween?! In early talks there was a lot of mention of Superman and Spiderman. These are characters Ian can point to in a book, and can name, but otherwise they are people he knows nothing about. See this image larger.

Eventually Buzz Lightyear came up! Winner! See this image larger.

A perfectly sized baby hat has a tendency to slip down and force the eyelids closed until nap. What? Isn’t it my job to say what we’re all thinkin’? No? Oh. See this image larger.

There it is! First toofy! See this image larger.

NOTE – The following two images were added later to this entry:

Still on October 2nd, Nina sits down for a lunch and munches on a menu. Apparently everything must have looked delicious as pictured. See this image larger.

We were at Friday’s with Mr. Brandon and his son Max… we had a great time! See this image larger.

On October 4th, Ian, Melissa and I went on a class field trip despite it being one of Ian’s non-school days. See this image larger.

It was called Klackleville Farms, and everybody was extremely happy to be there. (See, Grandparents, he gives us all that look sometimes.) See this image larger.

The world’s biggest sandbox outside of the Egypt quickly turned Ian’s attitude around. See this image larger.

See? Happy! See this image larger.

If Nina wasn’t doing this, she was sleeping. I asked her to do something photo-worthy like cartwheels, and she kept rolling her eyes at me. I still can’t figure little girls out, I guess. 😉 See this image larger.

Ian hopped in this big fire engine thing and I pushed him through the sandbox, small dump trucks and shovels flew everywhere. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard Ian giggle so much. See this image larger.

We found the train next! See this image larger.

See? Choooooo Chooooo. Work with me here. See this image larger.

A small child could actually climb through the whole train like an obstacle course… here Ian emerges victorious from the engine. See this image larger.

Continued in Part II!
