A busy day in October!

Today was a beautiful morning.  Crisp air, a light breeze, the sun was shining.  A perfect morning to be outside with the boys.  We went to both playgrounds in our neighborhood...which involved driving the "pirate ship", looking out for dolphins and whales, swinging on the swings on tummies like airplanes (thankfully there are two swings), and playing fireman on the pole.  Then we came home to climb a tree in our front yard.  Jacob did his own climbing.  Levi got a boost!

Next up was a trip to Homestead Farm with Jacob's preschool.  Poor Levi stayed home 1) because it was naptime.  2) because it was a special time for just Jacob and me together.  We had a great time--but it was REALLY windy.

Many of the pumpkins were rotting, and Jacob's sneaker made that discovery almost as soon as we stepped off the hayride!  SPLAT right on top of a nasty pumpkin.  We also had two tripping incidents, which made me very thankful that Levi wasn't there--since he is a little lacking in the coordination department...

After this incident, Jacob asked if he could rub his hands on my pants...um, NO!

And, yes, I know that the last two pictures were almost identical...except that Jacob has an inquisitive look on his face in the first one and a wonderful little smile in the second one.  Maybe only a mom would care, but, it is MY blog!

Here's my little pumpkin...I can't believe you are already four.  I cherish the time we have together.
