Airplanes!!

We enjoyed some great weather this past Sunday as we visited with our friends, Andrew and Tracy, at their airplane hanger. There were WWII (or I) bomber planes at the airport for the weekend and the Ellis' were kind enough to invite us down to visit. We were able to visit with friends as well as see some great airplanes. Tucker loved seeing them take off and land. He was full of energy and basically loved getting to run around. He loved getting to sit in Andrew's plane and pretend to drive it! Definitely a fun time! Thanks, Andrew and Tracy!

Brought rocket to have as a back up toy! Attention on the airplanes only last so long!

"Flying"

Pumpkins to Turkeys

We had a little arts and crafts time at home today. Since Halloween is now over, it is time to focus on Thanksgiving and all we are thankful for! So, we decided to change our warty pumpkins into warty turkeys! Tucker loved the googly eyes. He didn't quite understand why Mommy was the only one to operate the gun (the hot glue gun). But he was amazed by it and watched in awe! Next week, we plan to make more turkeys out of some big pine cones! Adding the final touches

Our Big Fella

Here is a picture of Tucker before we headed to school this week! He looked like such a big kid in his sweater vest that we had to snap a picture. He has grown up way too fast!

Halloween Fun

Tucker had a great time as Bob the Builder for Halloween! He woke up from his afternoon nap ready to party! We started the party off visiting Gamma and Mema. Tucker even had a trial trick or treat with some of the rehab residents where Mema is staying right now. Then it was off to the Loftus house for dinner and trick or treat! Tucker had so much fun. He would go up and say trick or treat and then he would just kind of linger there waiting for the people to ask him in. If they had a dog, he would ask if they had a doggy! We didn't quite grasp the concept of getting the candy and leaving. By the time we were done, Tucker was not! He wanted to go to one more house! He had lots of fun sampling candy!! Of course on the way home he wanted his candy and was very upset to not get to have more! What a night! Thank goodness it is just once a year!

Sticky Hands

Yesterday we celebrated our return to school (Tucker was out sick all last week) by carving our kitchen pumpkin! When I told Tucker what we were going to do, all he could say was his hands would get sticky! Oh dear- I believe Mommy has sheltered this child from dirty stuff too long! Need to dig in the mud some! Here are a few pics from our carving!

Dressed His Finest

Tucker graced us the other night in his best hat- Daddy's hat! Couldn't resist taking a picture! He was all decked out with his bear "towel" bib on and his hat!! Too cute!

Pumpkins, Pumpkins and More Pumpkins!

We love this time of year! The weather is finally cooling off. The leaves are starting to fall. It is getting darker earlier. And... there are pumpkins everywhere!! Including our house! We love pumpkins. We aren't far from the Farmer's Market and we have found that to be our favorite place to find all kinds of pumpkins. The other day we made our second trip there to buy pumpkins to paint since we are stuck inside with all the rain we are having! I am sure it won't be our last as we need to get pumpkins to carve to go outside with our bright orange lights! Here are a few pictures! Tucker wanted eyes on his pumpkins and he especially wanted eyebrows!! We are fascinated with eyebrows right now!
