October

So October was busy busy and as always my favorite month. We took a trip to Graue Mill with Aunt Molly and she got in on the action showing Fred the giant nest. They look like nutty squirrels to me!


Last of the garden harvest.


Preschool field trip to the local nursery a couple blocks from our house - Kinche's totally rocks!




Jeff ran the Chicago marathon - that would be his obnoxious support crew. The lime green is totally neccessary but the balloons may have put us on other people's hit list as they became a bit unruly.


Exploring a new forrest preserve, why I think that's a good idea to do on my own I haven't a clue.


Trip to the pumpkin patch!


"Some day boys, I'll buy you one."


I found the cutest one in the patch though!


Preschool party!
Fred the Tiger and Mariam the Chicken! I seriously could not get enough of her in that costume - it was just too hilarious!


The little goblins


Every good party ends with playing trucks


"Uh mom, not to alarm you but did you put my hat in the dryer? My hat has seem to have shrunk."


My adorable godson!


So from the moment Fred said he wanted to be a tiger I was so excited to have Calvin and Hobbes! Do you think I remembered to take a picture of them together?! DOH!


Cal as union labor.


Noah the method actor... "I am spiderman!"


Happy Halloween from the Worst Family


Enjoy the talking pumpkin!

September

Hewes Lake House Trip - Oh so much fun!
20 children on a pontoon - what could go wrong?

ummm... really disturbing, I'm not sure if I need to be concerned or not....

no judging parenting skills!


SOUTH HAVEN!
A trip to the beach seemed to require us to pack a little heavy.Too windy to go - it was like being sandblasted! Only a semi-crazy father and son team braved the conditions.

Ahh much better - beach conditions greatly improved!


A tractor show! Could this trip get any better?!

Yes, apples.




First Day of School! ( I know he's only 2 1/2 but mommy thought it would be a good idea to practice listening to other adults)

Fire trucks helped calm our nerves!
