The Flying Dragon in October

A bit behind on posting but here are some pics from trick or treating!
We first went on the Sunday before Halloween in Kenosha in Tom and Mary Esther’s neighborhood.

Trick or Treat!

We had round 2 when we participated in trick or treating in our neighborhood on Halloween night – it was a great time. Some of our neighbors really get into the decorations! We filled Will’s bucket with candy and are still eating it. Will now knows how good candy is and it’s a hard choice between a popsicle and a sucker when he is rewarded for good behavior!

Weekend at the Cabin

Will loves going to the cabin. Ron put a swing inside the cabin that hangs from the ceiling that occupies his time when it's too cold to go outside. Of course, this was the weekend Will decides to tell me almost every time he has to use the potty. Problem is, there's no indoor toilet, and it would take me 5 minutes to get him dressed to go outside in the weeds, by which time he's already gone in his diaper!

Here are some pics of our trip to the cabin October 24.

Will can just about reach the handles to drive!

One of Will's favorite foods: Apples! He and daddy found a tree on their 4 wheeler ride with big juicy apples!
We decided our pumpkin carving would be done at the cabin this year.

Drawing the face:

Finished products! Will's is the happy face, Mommy's is the scared face, and Daddy's is the scary face. I like Will's pumpkin the best!

Happy 60th Birthday, Pat!

After Tom and Pat Leiting toured Canada and about 12 states in 3 weeks, they returned home so we could have a small celebration for Pat’s big 6-0! Eddie, Kristin, EJ, Tommy and Ryan joined us to celebrate with dinner and cake.

Ryan, Will, and EJ waiting anxiously for some cake!

Digging in!

Will realizes he can fit more in without the spoon!

Belly Shots! October 22

Although we look a little inebriated in the second picture (and the photographer didn't help with a crooked picture!), we are not talking alcoholic belly shots here. Jeff's sister, Kristin is also pregnant with her second and due 4 weeks after me. As of October 22, here are our belly shots! Come on, Kristin, time to start eating all the yummy holiday food to catch up!!
