October with Mickey (and more)

First, let's talk about the cutest mouse in town! 
Mickey is Elliott's favorite character, so it only made sense for that to be his halloween costume!
I think it turned out perfectly and he was happy with it.... except, not so happy after a long, hot day at the Fall Festival without a nap!


    


Next, let's talk PONIES. He loves them! Three times at different festivals/pumpkin patches he has ridden a pony and each time he was such a natural, happy little cowboy. Notice the second time that Dad wasn't even holding on?!
  

Through the month we had fun visiting a couple different pumpkin patches. 

   

        



The weather finally started getting nicer, which means we ventured outside more to the zoos (OKC and Tulsa) and parks around town.  
It's also interview season for Tony, so some nights E and I are on our own... which sometimes means a walk around the mall and dinner out. (Isn't he such a cute little dinner date?!) 

 
     


Other times we just hang around the house and play. Elliott has such a fun and crazy personality that there is never a dull moment. Some of the things that make me laugh: 
-He may have decided to start being a little bit of a picky eater lately, but corn on the cob is always devoured!!
-We have given him one of my old cabbage patch dolls to introduce the idea of "baby"; he's really good with her... most of the time! Is there anything better than a boy holding his baby and pushing a Tonka Truck?!
- One word: Accessories! Hats, glasses, sunglasses socks on his hands, socks + shoes, etc.,  have all become silly little fascinations. He's always wearing something silly!
- Funny faces, silly sayings, wild hair, climbing all over us, jumping on the bed, and so much more always keep us smiling and on our toes! 

                  
  
 

At the end of the month (Halloween) we got to celebrate Grandmom's birthday! We had a fun family night with eating, carving pumpkins, and celebrating her... and with her, there is so much goodness to celebrate!!
