FALL!!

The kid loves the fall weather.  I'm not sure he's truly my son - most people know I'm a summer person.  I could skip all of the other seasons and live in 80 degree weather all year long.  Not Noah.  This is his personal paradise!

We loved the fall leaves!

We live on a dead end street, so Noah loves to run here :)

Super helpful!

This was filmed after Ben made Noah come inside.  He was super happy about it...Oh, and the broom was a replacement for the rake in an unsuccessful attempt to make him happy.

He loved his first bubble bath! (As if I needed to do anything to make him like the bath more....)

Surprise, surprise - we had a fun time at the Children's Museum with friends!

I'm either brave or crazy, but I did let him play in the sand for a little bit and he loved it! I told Ben this means we really need a beach vacation :)

Fun times at Nana & Papaw Schmith's house! Elle and Noah are climbing in the tub of blocks.

Our attempt at a group shot of the Schmith grandkids.  Gotta love that Kate's belly made it in the shot!

We celebrated Papaw Schmith's 57th birthday with some delicious homemade cupcakes!  Noah thought Aunt Renee was a pretty good cook!

Ty made this very special card for Papaw :)

Halloween!! And other October happenings...

Our little monster was a neighborhood hit! At least at the 3 houses where we took him trick-or-treating!

He thought we should have dressed him as "Bam Bam"

Not a big fan of the head piece!

Off we go! "But Mom, I can't see!!"

"I'll just leave my hat here, OK?"

Mom and Dad had to guide him to the door.  His preference is to play in the street.

"Trick or Treat?!!"  Pretzels were his first treat - YUM!

Nana and Papaw Schmith came over to watch him trick or treat for the first time and take some pictures!

He definitely enjoyed Halloween! He loves anything outside, so it was a treat to walk around to the neighbor's homes.  He also really enjoyed watching all the kids come to the door in their costumes.  All in all, definitely a success!

We had some other fun times these last few weeks, too! Ben had a few weeks off school and I took a little time off work so we could spend some quality time together as a family.  We mostly relaxed at home and enjoyed as much of the fall weather as we could!

Papaw Schmith came over for some snuggles :)

There's that favorite outfit again! This is the start of a temper tantrum...And those don't get old at all...

Stealing his cousin's drink! He's quite the little bully and thief!  But he does it so innocently.

Reese, Ben, and Elle are playing after a fun dinner! Renee and Ty went to Boston for the weekend, so we fed Tim and the girls one night!

Silly Mamaw closed her eyes!

Reese! 

"Naked" became everyone's favorite outfit! They clearly had a blast together :)

Aunt Jamie got to give some lovin' to the twins! (Reese - left, Elle- right)
