Happy Halloween!

This year Fall has flown into action, really without me knowing it. Right as Fall began we made the decision to move, so Fall decorations were put on hold. There has been no smell of Yankee Candles "Pumpkin Pie", no harvest-y colors filling the house, no pumpkins and no trips to the pumpkin patch, that was until Monday. Monday we were able to truly begin Fall. The SIX of us took a trip to the pumpkin patch and it being #1 two days before Halloween and #2 ABSOLUTELY FREEZING, we were the only ones there, it was AMAZING. This year we opted to paint out pumpkins, WOW, I must say it is way less mess, but not quite as rewarding. We have read The Pumpkin Gospel a trazillion times this week and the smell of Pumpkin Pie candles is filling my house. Halloween was fun, we attended a Harvest Party at Church the morning of and then hung out at Nick's aunt and uncles in the evening, they live in a high traffic neighborhood and we handed out candy to over 400 trick or treaters.

Brothers

*Somehow I posted this and it got lost, so here I try again* Aidan and Coda are at such a neat age together. They actually enjoy playing with eachother, share a lot of the same hobbies (ie building forts, eating snacks, destroying their room, playing cars, etc) and most of the time they treat eachother pretty well! They get on eachothers nerves and need their own space, but for the most part they are like two peas in a pod! The thing that amazes me the most about them is Aidan's care for Coda. Aidan goes to preschool and when we drop him off he tells Coda, "you be a minding boy all day Coda, and you play nice with Sissy and HAVE FUN." Coda says, "ok". Then when we pick Aidan up he always asks me, "did Coda mind? did you have fun? was he nice to sissy?" The truly funniest part about this is Aidan goes to school from 11:30am until 2:45pm, during which time Coda eats lunch and naps. So he really doesn't have any "minding" to do or fun to have, but it is Aidan's care for him that truly melts my heart.
