Happy Thanksgiving!

Before I get to Thanksgiving, I realize that I haven't posted anything since Halloween! Ugh- how time flies! Here are a few pictures from the last couple of weeks with friends! As you all know, Nate will be 2 on Sunday- I can't believe it.... I'll post pictures afterwards! Tomorrow- Black Friday shopping! WHAHOO!

Enjoy! Two weekends ago, The Brown's visited us from Pittsburg! Malcolm is a couple months younger than Nate... I'm surprised Max stayed around the two little humans..... :)
Malcolm loved the slide!

Its too early for pictures-on our way to Church!


Nate's cute Nittany Lion hat! GO PENN STATE!

Nate and Wil!
Play date with the twins! Mr. Steve is playing "Ring around the Rosie"!

Nate, Wi and Fi playing hide-n-seek in the kitchen!


What big shoes to fill!! (Will is trying on Mike's shoes, and Fiona (below) was trying on my shoes!

We had a blast! We look forward to more play dates.... I think we're going to try bowling at some point!

Nate being creative with kitchen utinsils (splatter screens....)....


(We also used them as badmitten rackets....heehee.... that was mom's idea!)

Happy Halloween and Happy Fall and all that jazz....

Here are some pictures from Halloween- Nate wore his Tigger costume to school and then he also wore it in the evening to go trick or treating with mom, dad and the Ohlson's! Chrissy came over for an hour before she headed to her Halloween party to hand out candy at our place so that we could both go with Nate. Not many of the neighbors participated in the trick or treating, but it was just the right number for Nate to have his first experience. It took him about 4 houses to really "get" it...and by the end he was saying "trick or treat- CANDY!" :) Enjoy the pictures!


Here is Nate wearing his costume in the morning for school!


Ok- test your knowledge- which one is Nate and which one is John?

This one was not planned- both Nate and John were Tigger- why am I not surprised????
Just for the heck of it, I wanted to throw in here a picture from last year of Nate and John at Halloween!
(Halloween 2007)

Here is the boys' favorite teacher- Miss Jessica- this was their last day with her as both Nate and John will be moving up to the next classroom....




We were afraid that it might be cold, so we put tigger in a jacket! :)
Nate was carrying Mike's trick or treat bag that he had as a child....


The first house we went to! Nate was just not really sure of what to think....



Mom was playing with the camera and lighted pumpkins!


Mel letting Nate pick out a goodie....

Alayna, Kirsten and Nate!


Nate was patiently waiting for Daddy to pick out a treat for him...

mmmm, chocolate....Nate took about 20 min to savor the treat..heehee....


Kirsten as the White Rabbit! :)

Here are a few other pictures from the last week.....


Nate with the Halloween treat bowl on his head.....



Nate-Houdini- once again getting out of his shirt after nap....actually- see- the neck of the shirt is around his waist...heh

He is so proud of himself....

Dad- no more pictures!


And finally, here are a bunch of pictures from the Way Fruit Farm Fall Festival
