Darren's Birthday

On the 21st, we celebrated Darren's 31st birthday! He got a little help with candles.

The End of Summer

Since it is November, we decided to finally let the air out of Aidan's swimming pool. It still feels like summer but Thanksgiving seems too late to swim outside. Aidan took the news a little hard. When he saw his pool hanging up deflated, he ran inside and got his bucket of pool toys. Then he laid down on the deck and pretended to be swimming.

After being asked at least 100 times every day this week to build Aidan a tunnel, I went and bought him one.

Yes, those are pumpkins in the tunnel. Why? I have no idea but he seems to be enjoying them.

At Play

Aidan with his friends, Ella & Jake, over for a fall BBQ

Aidan has discovered a love for coloring. He takes it very seriously.

Aidan's latest thing is tunnels. He likes it when you build a tunnel between the couch and coffee table with a blanket. He constantly wants you to bend your knees up so he can crawl underneath. He builds them out of blocks for his cars to drive through. Even the dark hallway at church is a tunnel.

A few more inches...

I was in the kitchen making supper when I heard what sounded like a ball rolling around in the foosball table. I thought it was strange because Aidan is not tall enough to reach it yet. When I looked in, I saw that, all by himself, he had pushed a box under table to stand on and was playing foosball.

Pretty smart!

Daddy's Office

We went downtown to have lunch with Darren this week and Aidan was very impressed with his office. His favorite part was the three elevators we had to take to get to the 44th floor.

Fall Festival

The weather here could not have been more perfect for the Fall Festival. Except maybe for those kids who costumes looked more like snowsuits. It was a beautiful evening. Aidan had tons of fun playing games, petting animals and just running around. He even kept his costume on all night without any complaints.Feeding the cow right before it gave Aidan a big lick, which he did not think was as funny as we didThe goats were a little crazy.

This guy grabbed the entire paper cup of animal feed out of Aidan's hand then ate it cup and all.Playing the bean bag tossAnd the ball toss

Practicing for Halloween

Aidan's record for wearing his costume was only about 15 minutes so we decided to practice the night before Halloween.

At first he was all smiles...

Then he started to get a little upset...And then "Get this thing off of me"...
