October

     We have had a busy month of pumpkin patches, illness, house hunting, house disappointments and halloween festivities.  Yet I don't feel very interesting today so I'm mostly going to post pictures.

     We went to a different pumpkin patch than normal, with mom and Michelle, Hudson and Coco.  It was fun but a little confusing to navigate.

I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be a tree dude from Lord of the Rings.  So I took a picture for Matt. Notice Adrian at the bottom.

In the middle of the picture is a David Bowie chicken.  Check out his mane thing.  I'm not sure what he really is called but look at him!

At my parent's house, watching Sophie eat.  He just sat there and watched and she didn't care.  I stood there with him, don't worry.

Cuffed jeans on babies are to die for.

     In my last post I talked about how we were going to bid on a house; we lost the bid.  We had a different house that we bid on a couple weeks later which would have been perfect, but we lost that bid too.  So the search continues.  We have our eye on one right now that's right across from a park.  We are going to look into how much it will cost to make repairs before we put an offer in on it.

This is an adorable lion jacket I bought because I assumed it would be cold at the pumpkin patch.

     Matt and I went to Vala's pumpkin patch with some of our friends who go every year.  We had Matt's parents babysit Adrian because he is no fun in public right now.  He just wants to crawl around and eat whatever is on the floor.  I think he enjoyed being at his grandparent's house more anyway.  We only took a couple pictures and they aren't very good.  So no pictures for you.

     Yesterday was my birthday so my mom made a cake and Michelle decorated it.  It was beautiful and delicious!  Matt had to work so we are going out for my birthday tonight.  I keep seeing commercials for Olive Garden that look delicious so we might go there.  I'm not very adventurous.

     I finished Adrian's Halloween costume, which is Charlie Brown.  He looks so cute!  Tomorrow we are going to a nursing home with my MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group and the residents are going to pass out candy to the kids.  So at least he will get some use out of his costume.

Happy Halloween everyone!

With one you get egg roll...on the ground

     Does anyone get my title?  Hmm?  That movie was on the other day.

     Adrian is walking more every day and it is adorable.  It is also a pain in the ass.  Now that he has learned a new way to be mobile, he doesn't want to stay still for anything.  Even when he has food in front of him!  Are we sure this is my child?  I was looking for a card for Christian's birthday at Target and Adrian was wriggling out of the shopping cart, flinging himself back when I picked him up and carrying on and it was nearly impossible to concentrate.  I don't like to be rushed while picking a card.  We high tailed it out of there as soon as I was done but I realized I'm going to have to avoid taking him out now.

Adrian's jack-o-lantern

     I realize he is just a normal one year old and I love him dearly but I miss my little shopping buddy.  He did manage to sit still long enough to decide between two light-up jack-o-lanterns.  He looked at both of them, and flung his arms towards the one with a scary face.  That's my boy!  I'm so excited to have someone to decorate with.

     I went to lunch with Matt's mom and Jenny that I used to work with on Saturday and he slept most of the time so it was nice.  Then on Sunday I went to lunch with my Aunt Patty and Matt watched Adrian.  It was a nice, peaceful lunch and I finally gave her that blanket!  Today I went to lunch with Michelle and Hudson.  Adrian did fine for about 5 minutes and then he freaked out and was screaming, flinging himself about, and then he threw an egg roll.  The egg roll was the last straw, those things are delicious and I only got one.  Also I didn't want to disturb the other patrons with his screaming so I called Matt and had him pick Adrian up.

     Michelle and I decided to take the babies to play at the mall play area next time.  Other than that I'm going to have to find things for Adrian to do to get energy out when it is cold.  Wish me luck.

     On another note, Matt and I are going to bid on a house tomorrow!  It isn't too far away and it has 3 bedrooms, a 2 car garage and a pretty big kitchen. I am so nervous and excited and I hope we get it!

I couldn't get a picture of his adorable outfit because he didn't want to be held down.  

Lipstick.  This was fun to get out of the carpet.  Thank goodness his shirt isn't ruined!
