Pumpkin Painting

After we picked the pumpkin out last Sunday, we painted it Monday night. I used finger paint that we already had. Beau had a great time!! After he painted, he went straight to the bath tub.

After the bath, we shared some popcorn as a snack.





Beau and I were getting ready to go to play group Friday morning. It had been raining earlier, so I told Beau he could play on the porch, not on the grass, while I got all of his things together for play group. I heard Beau laughing and looked up and saw him covered in blue paint....looks like the finger paint was washable and washed off the pumpkin in the rain. Oh well, we will try again next year, but with non-washable paint. :o)





Nothing to do with pumpkins, but cute....

Pumpkin Patch

We took Beau to the Pumpkin Patch in Hayden on Sunday with the Allen's, Goodson's, and Nix's. Beau had such a good time checking out all the people and pumpkins. His most favorite thing to do, I think, was to sit on the pumpkins. We picked out a pumpkin and I plan on getting Beau to "paint" it tonight and we will put in on the front porch.

Playing at the Park

This past weekend, we stayed in Auburn with Nonna and Papa C (Rodney's parents).

We got to eat dinner at Cheeburger Cheeburger with Rodney's friends, Wesley and Crystal on Friday. They are expecting a baby girl anyday now (actually about 4 days ago!). Rodney and his friend Wesley both had long hair when it was "Cool" in the 90's. Here is a picture of Rodney with long hair....too funny!


Saturday morning we went to play at Hickory Dickory Park in Auburn. Beau had a great time playing all over the playground. He really liked checking out what the other kids were doing and trying to be big like them. Here are a few pictures:

Elmo

Beau's new favorite toy is an Elmo that we got at Kid's Market for $4. We were going to save it and give it to him later, but when Rodney and I picked him up from Nonna and Papa C's on Saturday, he did not want to go home with us. He cried and screamed when Nonna and Papa put him in the car.....so we gave him the Elmo.

Elmo dances to the tune of YMCA, but it is E L M O instead of Y M C A. Anyway, it is super cute and the first thing Beau plays with in the mornings. This Elmo is not soft and cuddly like a stuffed animal, but Beau must think he is. Yesterday, I caught Beau giving Elmo kisses, trying to share his sippy cup of milk with Elmo and letting Elmo sit in Beau's chair. He even tried to put Elmo in his bed when it was naptime. Too funny!
