Battle of the Blogs

"Umm, Aunt Sarah, I'll sit here with my butt cheeks stuck in these pumpkins, but only if you sit here too."

Okay, so Sarah B. did a fabulous job of recapping our afternoon last weekend and her blog post is WAY better than mine. I pasted a few pics, wrote a couple of sentences and then poured myself a glass of wine and parked in front of the TV for an episode of I really don't care as long as I wasn't cleaning, changing a diaper, or playing trains. So thank you, Sarah and Tom, for the great pics, great day, and a great blog post. I knew you would come through. And in case you were wondering, Scott's pumpkin turned out REALLY cool!

Fall fun

We spent the afternoon with Sarah and Tom at a local nursery that gets completely decked out for the fall season. We opted for the "no-scare" adventures for Jacob but Sarah, Tom and I walked through the "low-scare" haunted house. I will direct you to Sarah's blog once she get a post up. She captured a lot of the great work put into it. We then enjoyed a hay ride...minus the hay. It was a tractor pulling a trailer with benches on it. Had we gone during the evening it would have definitely been a "haunted hayride".

Silly boy

I realize this is the second post where I have attached a You Tube video. No points for originality on my part but this video is hilarious. And with Jacob throwing occasional tantrums like every almost 2 year old should, this is what goes through my head. Although, one day soon, I may actually do it.

Fire Station tour

Jacob toured the Hastings Fire Department today. He doesn't stand still long enough for my pictures to turn out. I wonder if there is a setting on my camera that says "21 month old". He got to climb in the fire truck and was REALLY excited about it but then once he got in there decided it was a little bit scary and didn't want to stay in.

Cookie Monster in training

Last week Aunt Sarah J. came over to bake Halloween sugar cookies. Unfortunately for Jacob he had to go to bed shortly after the cookies were baking so he didn't get to help with the frosting or sprinkles but next time we'll start a bit earlier. None the less, he had a great time. (Notice in the second video how he is watching very carefully how Sarah puts the flour on her rolling pin!)
