Halloween 2012

While I was unsure if I was going to buy Adam a costume for halloween or not, my mom decided that she was going to pick one up.  She found a very cute Superman costume that fit him perfectly!  Our adventure for the day started out with a Halloween trip to Derek's office to show off Adam's costume!  We picked up Chipotle for lunch and Caribou coffee, and then brought some back for Jerry.  While we were sitting in Jerry's office chatting, Adam had a serious diaper blow-out!  You could hear it loud and clear.  It was so bad that it went all the way up the back of his Superman outfit!  Haha.... not the first outfit that has been destroyed by the pooper king!  

After our adventure at the office, we went to Grandma & Grandpa Kelley's house to wash Adam's outfit and play so that I could get some studying done.  We had some fun and played on the floor.  Adam is very smiley and fun to play with now, so he spent some time playing on the floor with Grandma and reading stories.  Then it was back home to be ready for the trick-or-treat kids in the neighborhood.  We had lots of adorable kids come to the door all dressed up and got to meet some of our neighbors that we have yet to introduce ourselves to.  Grandma Johnson also came to visit so that she could see Adam's costume.  We enjoyed Adam's first Halloween all cuddled up in the house.  I am sure next year will be a different story!

 

 
 
 

First trip to the Pumpkin Patch 10/27/12

IT has been a very long time since I last blogged.... partially because Adam is a busy guy, but also because I have been studying for my Step 2 medical exam and I finally have that finished.... so now it is time to catch up on blogs from the last 6 weeks!  Here goes....

We went on Adam's first trip to the pumpkin patch on 10/27/12.  A couple of years ago, we decided that it would be fun to start a tradition of going to the pumpkin patch with Russ, Krissy, Trevor and Gwen.  I always had a tradition of going every year with my parents, so I wanted to start something like that with our family.  It just so happened that the weekend we decided to go was the coldest one yet this year.... not super exciting... but we went anyway, all bundled up!  Adam slept most of the time, but we got to take him through the corn maze and on the hay ride, so that was fun.  We also got the delicious apple cider and mini donuts.. yum!  Then it was time to play and pick out pumpkins!  Gwen and Trevor had a good time trying to find the most perfect and biggest pumpkins they could.  Russ and Krissy had commented on only being able to get a pumpkin the kids could carry... which made it even funnier as Trevor tried to lug the heaviest/biggest pumpkins over to show he could do it!  We had a blast!  It was nice to finally have a pumpkin on the porch for halloween.
