Ethan has a Cold

Ethan and I have had colds for a few days.  We are actually on the mend after doing nothing but lying around and watching the Lego Movie about 100 times.  These are pictures from last week before the congestion and coughing began....  

Ethan wanted to "play boats" by putting leaves in the puddle and watching them race.

Full of mischief because he knows I am trying to take his picture

Halloween

Luck was on our side as the heavy rain stopped just as we were beginning our trick-or-treating.  Ethan was the cutest fire truck!

 Ethan wanted our pumpkin to have a silly face

Dad is attaching the modest hose to the engine.  Ethan is making the sound of water shooting out a hose.

He ate his fill the morning after Halloween.  Then after opening and sorting the remaining candy, he cooked with it.  It was really interesting for him to see what the candies did when combined with water.  He made gooey, sweet smelling, gray colored "soup" and "cupcakes".  He loved using the unusual ingredients, I love that the candy is gone;)

Wonderfully Ethan

This is Ethan's "If you're happy and you know it, then your face will surely show it" face.  Love it!!

 He is so cool!  He told me he was working and I was to do deliveries with the crane.

 He draws circles now!

Daily he creates something interesting in the kitchen

Pumpkin Patch

Joe's Farm creates a charming area to play, take pictures and get pumpkins in the fall.  The past 2 years we have gone to a much larger event and we have really enjoyed it! However, the simplicity of this year was refreshing.

 They were sold out of standard pumpkins!  Ethan pulls our mini pumpkins to the cornstalk maze.
