Family Fun Day

Owen's preschool held a fund raising Family Fun Day. Sadly it was not much family and not much fun. This was all from the timing. The only time the church could allow the school to host it was 1-4, nap times in my house. So Omer and Aiden had to stay home. And Owen and I went over for an hour in which the last half Owen was tired and bratty. The little amount of time we had was a little fun but would have been much more fun if the whole family could have spent lots of time there. Oh well!

Owen did enjoy the bouncy house, as always.

Fall Baby

Aiden LOVES the outdoors and has no problem crawling on any surface. This morning it was a gorgeous fall morning, so Aiden and I went out to prep the gardens for the winter and then he was off to play in the leaves.

Disney on Ice

Owen and I went on a date this morning to see Disney on Ice at the Patriot Center. We had a wonderful time. As Owen has only see Mickey Mouse Clubhouse show, I was a little worried he wouldn't care too much as he knows none of the other characters. But he didn't seem to mind. By far he was most excited to see Mickey and his friends. He sat on my lap the whole time, I think the dark and loud noises scared him a little. But I didn't mind cuddling with him during the show. He has asked a couple times through the week if he could go back and see Mickey, so I know he loved it. He of course got some Mickey ears in which he had to show Aiden. They were playing very cute here, I think they both missed each other. :)

AHA Pictures

We are falling in love with Aiden more and more each day. He is so super sweet, smiley and giggly. He is very independent too. Lots of times I will sit down to play with him and instead he turns around and crawl to chase a ball or play. He is just happy to be around all of us and get an occasional snuggle. Here are some pictures from the past week of our little AHA (Aiden Harrison Aru). I do want to note that his shirt was wet from drinking water from a cup. :)

And he's off again

Aiden has perfected the skill of surfing. He can easily go from one item to another and also will go around his play table.

Goal! Lego Box

He also loves to stand at the toys and pull everything down. He is aiming high here and trying to get a book.

Playing among all the toys he pulled down.

Off to chase a ball.

Our Little AHA

Trunk or Treat

My mom's group held its annual Trunk or Treat and even though the weather was very threatening and did end up raining on us for 10 minutes while we ate it was great fun. I decorated our trunk and must say was pretty proud of my creation.

Aiden the Spider

So the costume struggle. For a month Owen wanted to be Spiderman, so I went out and bought the costume, after having a hard time finding the right one and ending up having to get the bigger size, the next day he tells me he wants to be a pumpkin. He would not put Spiderman on. I waited and waited to see if Spiderman would still happen as I had the costume, but nope. So Omer got the last pumpkin costume at Target and it barely fits but Owen was beyond excited. So here is Owen the pumpkin.

I tried my best to get a picture of both boys, but one would look and then the other wouldn't. You know how it goes.

Owen playing chase with Brice

What is with my camera?!?! It is on auto yet here was a perfect picture with lots of blurriness. Boo!

Once again bad camera, but what a cute crawling spider.

So Many Pumpkins

Owen's school had a pumpkin patch during class. They got to pick out pumpkins, take a hay ride and also from what I hear Clifford was there. So when Owen got home he wanted to bring all his pumpkins inside and play with him. He LOVES pumpkins and creates some amazing games with them.

Playing Pumpkin Mommy and Baby

Pumpkin Smiles All of Owen's Pumpkins and Gourds (and yes Owen has decorated many with paint.)

Tunneling

Owen wanted to bring out the tunnels to play with. Aiden is a huge fan of these tunnels, and the boys had a great time playing together. Lots of giggles. Owen was pretending that Aiden was chasing him through the tunnel and then he'd pass over him. Aiden loved the attention from his big brother.
