Trick or Treat

Connor was excited from the moment he woke up this morning. We had a very full day visiting family and eating candy. We went trick or treating to a few houses and then home to bed. Connor was a monkey - not by choice. I found the costume at Old Navy and thought it was cute. Connor wanted to be T-Rex or Woody. I think he makes a very cute monkey!

Pickin' Pumpkins

Connor and I look forward to going to the pumpkin patch and picking pumpkins every year. When we have found the perfect pumpkins we stop for pumpkin milkshakes. Yummy!

Our Summer

Summer was busy at our house...

We moved into a new house... Connor's room was full of flowers on the walls, so the first thing to do was paint. I spent the first week working on his room. He wanted a yellow room (yellow is Connor's favorite color). We compermized and did one wall yellow. In the end it turned out very nice. Wes has been busy working on the shed. He has been making it his workshop so he can turn pens. There is plenty of work still to be done to make it feel like home, but we are working on it.

• Wes hurt his arm putting up the swing set. We took him to the emergency room and found out he ripped his bicept off the bone. A few weeks after he had surgery he started physical therapy. It has been a tough recovery, but everyday it gets better.

Connor got his first Hot Wheels big boy bike. I think he is ready to take the training wheels off, but he is a scared. So I guess we will try that one next summer.

• Connor started preschool - This is probably Connor's biggest accomplishment. The first few days were hard, but he is doing very well and loves letters and the sounds they make. He is very good at art. I am very proud of him.
