Two weeks ago we decided to go to a local pumpkin patch. We had a lot of fun picking out our pumpkins and Grant enjoyed the festive perks they had.
Grant enjoyed the wheelbarrow ride to and from the pumpkin patch.
He seemed very pleased to be involved in the pumpkin-picking process.
Da' boys.
Here's a post-pumpkin-pickin'-pic. It seems that it's getting hard to have a picture of Grant with him both smiling AND looking at the camera, so we happily take what we can get. :)
Chris was trying to get Grant to look at the camera, but we were on a hay ride being pulled by a tractor. Tractor + trailer = 2 of Grant's favorite things, so it was difficult to get him to focus on the camera.
Me and Grant painting Grant's "little pumpkin" as he called it. :)
Grant has been very interested in Monsters, Inc. recently, and Mike Wazowski in particular (if you don't know who Mike Wazowski is, we highly recommend reviewing the movie!). So Grant and I painted his little pumpkin in Mike's face, and Chris carved our big "for real" pumpkin into Mike's body. This was Chris's first attempt with the shaving technique for pumpkin carving and we think it was a good success, so everyone can look forward to a more complex design for next year!
One proud papa!
Grant used Rogaine longer than suggested. He loved his Halloween costume and was eager to wear it to the hospital.
My mom came into town to help out. We really enjoyed her visit! Madelynn is the 8th grandbaby for my parents.
