Happy Halloween!!

Happy Halloween!!

It's been so crazy busy around here, I haven't had much time to blog. But I wanted to make sure that I posted some pics from the last few months to show off our little man!

This past Halloween, we took Aiden to Butler's Orchard for pumpkin picking at their annual Halloween Festival. What a fun time it was for all of us! The very first thing we did was take a hay ride through the farm. Aiden was a bit tentative throughout the ride, mostly because it was rather bumpy, but I think he enjoyed it overall... as long as Daddy kept a tight grip on him!

Butler's Orchard had so many fun things to do. They had tractors that kids could sit on, a hay maze, donkey rides, and fun Halloween decorations. Our little observer just loved walking around and checking things out. He loves trucks, so I think the tractors were a big winner for him!

They also had farm animals that you could pet and feed. Aiden especially LOVED the goats... and I think the goats loved him too... that or they thought he would make a tasty treat! He loved petting their heads and would giggle when they would nuzzle his belly. =)

I think our favorite part of the day was when we picked our pumpkins! Aiden kept calling them "balls" and would always try to pick up the biggest ones!! He was pretty good at knocking the huge ones over and rolling them over to us!

 Aiden has become quite the strong little boy! He was able to push the wheelbarrow almost completely by himself! He just needed a little help with balancing and steering it.

We had a fantastic time at Butler's Orchard, a definite must for next season!

Trick or Treat!!

We dressed Aiden up as a dinosaur this year. It was a win for both of us.. he loves saying "Rawrrr!!!" and Mommy loved that costume was so warm (and had a hood). 

Dinosaur RAWRR!!!

Aiden went trick or treating with Daddy and Aunt Elizabeth, while Mommy stayed at home to give out candy. Aiden still has a little stranger-danger, so I'm not sure how much he really enjoyed the process... he only made it to about 4 houses. But my little angel LOVED coming back home and helping Mommy give out candy to the kids that came by. Just as it should be, he prefers to give rather than receive. =)  Plus... we don't let Aiden eat any sweets yet, so he didn't really understand the deliciousness that he was getting. 

It's hard to believe how big Aiden is becoming. He is a full fledged toddler with a personality to match. But he still loves getting hugs and kisses from Mommy and Daddy, and we dish them out in excess!!

Happy Halloween!!!
