Halloween 2011

We enjoyed the neighborhood this Halloween and I(1.75) dressed up as his favorite Superhero. Or rather, maybe there was a sale on Spiderman at Target this year.)

Either way, we had fun on a neighbors lawn, ate pizza and watched as (1.75) played with the other kids.

Scarecrows in the Garden, Atlanta Botanical Gardens

We had a fabulous evening with I(1.5)’s girlfriend C(1.5) and her parents at the Atlanta Botanical Garden.  The kids stopped to see all the scarecrows and loved picking up all the little pumpkins and rearranging them.

Little Miss C(1.5) was a beautiful butterfly. 2011 10 29 Atlanta Botanical Gardens 008

Spiderman was very helpful and kept brining us goodies. 2011 10 29 Atlanta Botanical Gardens 009

Since Sesame Street is 1(1.5)’s favorite show, it was only appropriate that he have a picture beside one of the characters. 2011 10 29 Atlanta Botanical Gardens 013This picture makes me laugh. You could almost see C(1.5)’s dad telling I(1.5) to move. 2011 10 29 Atlanta Botanical Gardens 018And the caterpillar turns into a beautiful butterfly!2011 10 29 Atlanta Botanical Gardens 041The kiddies loved the slide. Amazingly, it was the slowest slide ever and I was able to capture a handful of pictures on the way down. 2011-10-30 2011 10 29 Atlanta Botanical GardensAfter the garden, we went to El Taco. Pablo and I had never been there before and it was delish! Definitely a new taco place to add to our go to list.

Pumpkin Palooza–Warbington Farms, Cumming

Pablo, I(1.5) and I visited Warbington Farms a month ago to see what they had to offer.  It was then that we read about their Pumpkin Palooza  and were already excited to see the pumpkins they had, white pumpkins and bright orange pumpkins. So we put it on our calendar and planned to go. What’s even more exciting is that they offered a Groupon for the kids for $10 and I purchase one for I(1.5). It included a hay ride, pony ride, free pumpkin and a slide ticket.  I(1.5)’'s spent most of the morning on this little tractor. He loves anything with a wheel. I almost feel like putting one in his crib. Do you think that would make him want to be in bed more?

We had fun painting pumpkins with our cousins. Green and lots and lots of glitter were the winning colors for our little pumpkin.

Ignore the funny look on my face. I(1.5) was really excited about his hay ride and had a cup full of feed for the cows.

My son loves the washing machine

I don’t get it, but he loves to get in there and he loves playing with all the buttons. Not sure I get the draw, maybe it smells good?

Looks like he’s asking for change to run the wash. He helps put his clothes in the laundry basked and likes to push the wet clothes into the dryer, but don’t dare ask him to help fold. All he likes to do is throw them everywhere.

Hillcrest Orchards

We had a great time at Hillcrest Orchards this weekend. Mom and N came with us and we enjoyed apple fritters and checking out the historic tractors.  I(1.5) wanted to be on stage and practice his blue grass jig.

How cute is he? Look at that head bobbing along…

He had a great time on the inflatable pillow.

We watched the pig races with piggies named Hamjelina Jolie and Donald Rump. How cute!

And we’re still not sure about the pony ride.
