On Saturday our village had their first annual "Fall Festival Spooktacular". It was a gorgeous day so we headed into port with Gramma Lou in tow and walked around the town. There were some silly events like a dog costume parade that we got a kick out of, and the usual bobbing for apples and pie eating contest. We did not participate in those two but the pies sure looked yummy... The town was decorated with scarecrows on every light pole - very festive and a fun afternoon. (As you can see my Joovy Caboose stroller is still getting a good workout and Ben still hasn't let go of that dang cheeky engine.)
Benjamin spends a good deal of time sitting right here when we play outside. He has moved into the toy truck and bulldozer stage. This particular dozer belongs to Henry and Ben always wants to play with it. Santa will need to add one to his list for Benny! What is funny though, is Ben will push the dirt with the dozer, then pick up the dozer in one hand, grab a handful of dirt with his other hand and put it in the plow. Then he will dump the plow OVER HIS HEAD. Wait, did I say funny? It is a guarantee that Ben needs a bath whenever he is done playing with the bulldozer...
We carved pumpkins this weekend as the weather has been cool and they should survive the week up to Halloween. It was such an awesome afternoon weatherwise, that we all congregated out front of our building at the Tinkerbell table for the yearly carving fun. Ben wasn't too interested. He was more concerned about figuring out how to set the poor doggies free as I needed to tie them up to the bike rack so they wouldn't run out into the street. Emma did a great job pulling the guts out of the pumpkin, but as you can see in the first pic - she wasn't so sure about it at first.
