Happy Halloween!!

We had a great Halloween at our new house and our new neighborhood! After a week of almost constant rain, we finally enjoyed a sunny (albeit colder) day. We started our festivities by picking up a pumpkin at Lowes (not our usual place for a pumpkin, but it has been a crazy busy couple of weeks). After carving it, we tried to have Benjamin touch the gooey insides of the pumpkin, but he was not interested at all. However, he did enjoy the little gourds that we bought and he used one as a ball and tossed it around our kitchen. At 5:30 pm, once we started seeing our neighborhood trick-or-treaters, we took Benjamin out in his awesomely cute lion costume that my Mom found months ago. He was a little unsure about the costume at first, but he got used to it and seemed to enjoy walking around and visiting our neighbors. Next we stopped by Grandma Vicki's place to show off his costume and then headed back in time to greet many more trick-or-treaters.

A Quick Update

I plan to give more updates this weekend about what we have been up to these past two weeks, but I thought I would show you what has been occupying most of our time - our new home!! We close on the 19th and move on the 21st!!!

Here are some pictures of Benjamin in our new home.


I love this picture - Benjamin is going to love that fan!
