"Ride the Tractor"

We headed out to Berry Patch Farms yesterday to hunt for the perfect pumpkin. The weather was perfect, though the sun could have hidden behind a few clouds. It was a napless day, so there weren't a lot of smiles, but there wasn't any whining either.

Taking the hayride to the pumpkin patch

We had to stand in line to get back on the hayride. Beckham really could have cared less about the pumpkins this year. All he wanted was to "ride the tractor" (the one pulling the hayride).

This was the result of no nap and an hour out in the sun :)

SNAKE!!

Mommy, look! Snake! So my heart starts racing and I run over to pick him up. Much to my relief, it was a caterpillar. . . But look at this thing. Its gynormous! And check out the spike on its butt!

Me & My Daddy

Beckham and Scott have gotten to spend some really special time together lately. Beckham is at such a fun age. He is trying new things constantly! As soon as Daddy gets home from work, he usually changes clothes. Beckham likes to put Daddy's clothes on the second they hit the floor- so cute!

Beckham was so proud of the artwork that Daddy helped him create. And afterwards, he ran around naked then took a shower (since he wiped his hands on his shirt and the paint bled through).

We've all enjoyed going outside in the evenings (when its not raining) and throwing ball with Thibideaux. The weather has been that beautiful autumn cool lately :)

Beckham has been really excited about helping out in the kitchen. He has shared in making Banana Bread, Chocolate Chip Cookies, and French Toast. Our own little chef in the making.

I also have to share some of the really cute dialogue that has been happening between father and son lately.

Daddy: Beckham, what are you gonna dream about tonight. Football?

Beckham: And Ladies

Daddy: And hockey. And the Stanley. . .

Beckham: Cup

..............................................................

Daddy: Go. . .

Beckham: Steeders (most L's are replaced with D's these days)

Daddy: And who is our quarterback?

Beckham: Big Ben!

............................................................

Daddy: What's Chuck Norris say?

Beckham: Hi-ya!

Ending September with a BANG!

As I mentioned before, August came and went and was pretty much uneventful. September on the other hand has been full of activity. I have finally gotten my energy back, and thank goodness, because there has been plenty to do. My good friend Melissa had her sweet baby Mark, so Beckham and I headed for a visit

Playgroup started back. Beckham loves playing with his friends, singing, and dancing.

We even went shopping at the Avenues with my sister and Ollie. (I was actually sore the next day from all the walking- I know, pitiful, right?)

We had lunch, then stopped for icecream. I was going to get Beckham his own icecream, but when I saw how cute they were sharing, it wasn't worth disturbing them!
And when we got back to Shanna's house, he had to ride Thomas- his favorite thing to do at their house.
