Happy Halloween!!

For the first time Alestair got to go trunk or treating! It was a big hit. Alestair was a penguin (he still trys to wear the costume everywhere), Dad was an OSU fan (I know-big change), and Mom was a penguin keeper. Alestair loved his little bucket and taking it to everyone.

It was pretty much the cutest thing ever! Well close to it. He actually tried to say Happy Halloween a few times it came out more of "Appy Ha Ha"

Little Apollo and Anabel become friends

Aunt Kristy, Uncle Apollo and Little Apollo came to visit us! After a family dinner (really good family dinner) at Aunt Wendy and Nic's place they all got to stay the night with us! It was a treat. Little Apollo is a big lover; hugs and kisses all over. Completely opposite of Alestair's "I am too busy for loves" attitude. As it turns out Little Apollo also LOVES dogs. Which made for lots of loving on Anabel. As you can see from the pictures Little Apollo had a hard time controlling the loves. It was most adorable!

Cheese-Mo

Alestair loves the camera and poses for it. I was trying to get a picture of his messy hair but he was cheesing for the camera :)

Waiting to go in-Playing on the pumpkin pile!

Alestair and I found the Corn Pit! It was a lot like the wheat tent from Easter but this was much bigger and all corn. It was very hard to walk in it but tons of fun! The Straw Pyramid! No Robert didn't get stuck but it sure looks like that...

Alestair loved it after he decided it was ok to touch the straw with his hands Alestair had no fear getting from the top of the pyramid to the bottom. He jumped and I could hardly keep a hold on him. There were a few times that I thought he was just going to fall all the way down. There was a petting zoo. Alestair LOVED the animals. It was the first time that he liked the bunnies. His favs were the pigs and calves. Aunt Heather let us feed some of the animals with the food she bought for them. Alestair really thought that was neat. THANK YOU!

Picking our pumpkins!

BOOTS!!

I bought myself some rainboots since I really don't like having wet socks and its getting wet here. Alestair loves to put them on and hide things in them its really cute!

Cider Pressing!!!

A most fun tradition of my family is cider pressing! Aunt Wendy met us at the Meeker Mansion in Puyallup to do this. We ended up with 6 1/2 gallons of cider! The man in the picture is Alan Manning. He made the cider press himself and sent me the plans to build it. It was soo much fun! Alestair had a great time. He ran around eating apples and getting into things. Aunt Wendy bought him two squishy rubber ducks. So much fun!!!
