Overheard...

Ethan:

"Mom, Mom...WATCH!"

He throws his stuffed monkey in the air and yells,

"AWESOME!"

Throws it again...

"OH, NICE!"

And again...

"AWWW MAN!"

Gotta love having older siblings around to help expand the vocabulary!!

************************************************
Ethan recently discovered Kenton's "Cars" race track that was a Christmas gift last year and that Kenton hasn't really ever played with. Well, let me tell you, Ethan has played with it enough today that he's more than made up for Kenton's lack of use! It's kind of cool, actually, because you turn it on and it launches the cars around the track (being a girl I never had such things growing up!) Ethan is a huge "Cars" fan and loves "Queen!" The track has four different cars and Ethan HAD to carry ALL FOUR down to the pumpkin patch today... It was more than his little hands could possibly carry so we had some issues but eventually I strapped him into the wagon so he could at least hold them in his lap!

Speaking of the pumpkin patch we were able to pick out a pumpkin to carve along with a few of the really little ones to put in a bowl on the table for fall decoration. It was a mad rush to find a pumpkin that was carvable before someone else got to it...made it a little hard to get into the spirit of things! We also were able to pick up bulk bags of Halloween candy for next Friday. A local shipping company donated the shipping so that the school was able to obtain the candy at cost. I OF COURSE picked up Reese's Peanut Butter Cups which you can not get here=P

Those are not for passing out to the kids!!!!

Have a great weekend!
