Hiking here is nothing like hiking back home, but it's still nice to get outside and enjoy the freshly fallen leaves.
Owen and Daddy - ready to go.
Striking the "It could be a cover for a CD" pose.
Delighting in the leaves stuck to the tree. Owen might add that it was most fun when Daddy jumped so Owen could grab hold of the leaves (the reason for such a big smile!).
"Mommy and I started our day going to a costume party with our friends (I thought I would bring along a couple of my favorite things - can you see them in my hands?)."
Charlie Brown (Greg), The Great Pumpkin (Owen), the Pumpkin Patch (Dani), and a growing pumpkin (baby in Dani's belly) had a fun time trick-or-treating.
Mommy, Owen and baby pumpkin!
It's hard work being such a cute pumpkin. It takes lots of practice. First one needs to look at himself in the mirror...
Next one needs to practice lounging like a pumpkin - maybe even snuggling with friends while eating a snack...
Then one needs to create some beautiful art like a pumpkin...
Finally one needs to set himself up next to other pumpkins to see if he blends in. Can you spot the human pumpkin?
In case you can't read the expression or feel his angst, Owen is completely annoyed that a day in the life of the pumpkin must end at some point. In this case it was bedtime. Sorry pumpkin.
"He, he, he! Is it Halloween yet?! Mommy says I can dress up. Should I be a tiger?"
"How about a rock star (If you can't tell, I'm singing my ABCs.)?"
"Or a bunny?"
