Tom's Halloween Costumes

My mom got Tom a couple of Halloween costumes from Granny's Attic this year. So he wore a dinosaur costume when we went over to the island for my softball tournament. He wore the skeleton to day care. And he wore the race car drive outfit Halloween night. Eric took Tom to a couple of the neighbors houses of people we knew so that they could see him, but it was only a couple of houses. I stayed home and handed out candy.

Day Care Fun

Now that Tom is getting used to his day care he is really looking forward to it. After the first week he started to fuss a bit when I would leave him there. But after a couple weeks he started asking to see the kids when he woke up. And when I dropped him off the kids would call his name when he showed up. Now he just heads into the room and doesn't look back.

They do lots of art projects and activities. He brings home drawings and stuff and he is getting a lot better holding crayons. I am glad he is getting social interaction with other kids. They also do special fun days. Here he is with pajama day. And next fall he gets to move to the early preschool class.

Carving Pumpkins

Good thing we only bought a couple pumpkins from the pumpkin patch this year. That day after we got home we saw our neighbor Brian. He asked us if we wanted any pumpkins. Brian really likes pumpkin seeds, but doesn't really like carving pumpkins. So he asked me if I wanted to pumpkin shells after he took out the seeds. I told him I would take them all. Then I looked in the back of his truck and there were at least 50 pumpkins. He was a little skeptical that I would carve them all. But since he already took the top off and scooped most of the innards out it wasn't too tough to carve them. I took about 15 pumpkins over for Lena to carve. She made faces on a couple and lost interest. Tom liked banging on them and even tried sticking it in his mouth and then also lost interest. So the kids played and Susan and I finished up the rest of the pumpkins. The rest of the pumpkins I had at home I just made quick faces, but the driveway looked cool with all the pumpkins. Of course I was so tired by the end of Halloween that I forgot to take a picture of all of them.

Halloween Tournament

The Halloween softball tournament was on the island this year thanks to Chelle. It was a lot of fun getting to play the Vashon teams. Our team went as mimes again. Thanks everyone for a great time.

Pumpkins

Yesterday we went to our pumpkin patch. Tom got to do a hay ride. He pushed the wheelbarrow for the pumpkins, and he rode a tractor. He had a great time. And today we picked our pumpkins out of our garden. The best one we had scratched "Little Tom" in a couple months back. It is a little faint, but readable. Tom loves his pumpkins and asks to go look at them every day.
