Halloween Night

On Halloween night we just took Aiden around our little subdivision. We don't get a lot of trick-or-treaters out here in the country, so the few houses he did hit filled up his entire candy bag! Lucky guy (and lucky Mommy and Daddy who will be helping him it it all!) This year he was Max from Where the Wild Things Are, but he was pretty tame Wild Thing when making the rounds. Although he had been practicing his "trick-or-treat" all day, he refused to speak to any of our neighbors. Shy guy!

Punkin Carving

Time to carve the pumpkins! Aiden wasn't as into it as we thought he would be. He was pretty opposed to putting his hands inside the "gwop". Maybe next year he will actually be able to help with his own pumpkin!

Halloween Party

One of the mom's groups I belong to had a great Halloween potluck at our local park. It was great to get all of the kids together and see everyone's cute costumes. It was also great to enjoy the weather as it warmed up...it was only 28 degrees when we got out of bed! By noon, it was up to almost 60.

Fall Colors

There is a good reason that Western North Carolina is known for it's fall foliage...and why the "leaf peepers" come from hundreds of miles away to take in the scenery. It has been so beautiful that it almost hurts your eyes, and photos never do it justice. Here are a few shots from my parents deck.

Pumpkin Time!

Can't believe that it is pumpkin time already! It seems like we just moved here, but we have officially made it into all four seasons now. We all headed down to an apple and pumpkin farm to pick out some Fall treats.

Aiden cared more about the corn than the photo op.

Nothing like rocking and fresh apple turnovers!

He's either tired, or he's found the perfect pumpkin and is claiming it!

Aunt Jenny helped Aiden ride Gertie the cow

Working Girl

I took a little job helping another Asheville Mama out by watching her 14 month old daughter 3 days per week. Little Anna is super sweet and Aiden is working through his jealousy issues of sharing toys and mama. Good practice for one day being a big brother.
We took a trip to the Hands On children's museum and they both really enjoyed apple picking and taking care of their babies!
