It's the Great Pumpkin, Kibi!

Halloween is finally here!

We are planning on a cozy night, just the three of us, having dinner and then taking K. out in his Cow costume to trick or treat in our neighborhood and drop in on some friends' houses. Then, tomorrow's a party at our friend Charlie's house, so K. will have one last chance to wear his costume.  (Probably more exciting for his parents than for him!)  

Not much more to report, and I'm trying to get some rest in hopes of staving off this cold I think I'm developing, so I'll go for now.  

Happy Halloween, everyone!  I'll try to post more pics next week.

Pumpkin Carving

We did our annual pumpkin carving with Mumma and Grandpa!  Here are some highlights.  

As expected, K. was most interested in the scooping out of the pumpkin guts ("Scoopin!  Scoopin!") while fortunately I got my dad to do the actual carving (something I've slowly lost interest in in recent years, despite the fact that I used to get really into it.  I guess I blame it on lack of energy that comes with having children - ha!)

We're still determining our actual trick-or-treating plans for tomorrow.  We have a couple of different invitations and we're determining how many events we (K., rather) will be able to tackle.

Happy halloween weekend!

Fall Photos

I finally got a new camera and am no longer relying on my iPhone for photos I post on this blog (because, as good as the iPhone is for virtually everything else, its photo-taking leaves a lot to be desired, as you may agree after viewing my posted photos up to yesterday).  

Hence, I have a new batch of Kibi photos from the last couple of days for your enjoyment: playing with the airplane car (still a favorite), coloring pictures with Mumma, and looking handsome in plaid. 

It's the Great Pumpkin, Kibi!

We picked up our family pumpkins over the weekend.  This was my favorite picture from the outing, taken of K. staring at the huge pumpkin hanging on the side of the wall of the church where we picked up our wares.

K.'s grandma and grandpa arrive in a couple of hours for a pre-Halloween visit!  We're all in the spirit.
