Painter

The other day Noah pulled out his paint shirt, paint brushes and the paint and obviously wanted to paint. My mom had given us a big roll of paper, so I got that out for him to paint on. He usually paints for about 10 minutes and then wants to do something else, so that is what I was expecting. Well, not this time…he painted for an hour and a half!!!! I just kept rolling out the paper when he would fill up one area. He ended up painting 8 feet of paper!

He did run out of blue paint about half way through, so he was a little disappointed at first. We replaced it with white paint and when he first started painting with it, it turned pink because he mixed it with the red. He looked at me and asked “where’d white paint go?”. I tried to tell him that white and red make pink, but I don’t really think he cared, he just wanted to paint!

Here’s a short little video when Noah first started painting saying “Thanks for the paper Grandma”. He was a little too busy to look at the camera…
Thanks Grandma!

Great Grandparents

While we were back in Iowa last week, we tried to take some pictures with the great grandparents. We are so lucky to have such good grandparents for Noah and Faith!!!!

Happy Halloween

On October 20th, the gym that Rick goes to had “Boo Fest” for the kids. There was a costume contest and Faith won first place in her chili costume!!!

Saturday morning we carved a pumpkin. Rick really did all the work…he carved a haunted house, and of course I forgot to get a final picture, but it turned out great!!

Halloween night we took both kids to a few neighbors, but it was a little cold for Faith, so Rick and her went back home to hand out candy. Noah and I went around to more neighbors to get more candy!!! Noah is definitely a slow walker, he was too busy watching other people and wanted to look at his candy!! He was excited to get home to show Daddy all his goods!!! I was a little disappointed in the lack of 3 Musketeers, so we’ll have to work on that for next year!

Riding a Pony

Our neighborhood had a Fall Festival last Sunday. So after the Fire Station Open House, we came back and went to the Fall Festival. They had a pumpkin for all the kids to take home and had some fun games to play. Noah didn’t really partake in any games, he was more interested in the lemonade. He figured out how to push the button on the cooler to get more out and he kept filling his cup…who knew he liked lemonade!!!

They also had a hay ride going about every 1/2 hour and we would ride around the neighborhood for a little while. Of course we had to do that every time they left! Then the ponies came!!! They had two little horses that the kids could ride and Noah actually loved it! We thought he’d be a little scared, but he was actually mad when he had to get off and had to wait his turn to get back on. I’m pretty sure my Dad was looking down from Heaven and telling him to get off that stupid horse! Noah rode on the horse about 3 times and then when they loaded the horses on the trailer, he wanted to go tell the horses bye-bye.

Pumpkin Patch

We went to the KC Pumpkin Patch today!! They had all kinds of stuff for kids (and adults) to do, including a tricycle track, petting zoo, Pumpkin Cannon, Mining, Duck Races, Jumping Pillow and…

Great Pumpkin Slide

Ducks to feed

SpongeBob Hay Pants

Train Ride

Playground Equipment

And of course, lots of PUMPKINS!!!

It was a great time and Rick was happy because he got a Funnel Cake!!! I might add, it was REALLY good!!! And on the way home, we topped the excitement off with Casey’s Pizza!!! I think we will be making this an annual event!
