Tonight we carved our pumpkins in preparation for Halloween. Will was entertained for about teh first 5 minutes, but quickly got bored. Despite not wanting anything to do with digging out the pumpkin innards, he was all about using the carving tools to "help" us.

Marc was outside raking leaves this evening and Will did his best to help out. When I tried to show Will how fun it is to throw leaves in the air, he got mad because I was messing up Marc's piles! He dutifully picked up handfuls of leaves and threw them in the yard waste bin.

Tonight Will thought it was incredibly funny to put a pull up on his head and run all over the house. He's a hoot!

We went to Hunter's Pumpkin Patch today (Will's 3rd time this season!) and had so much fun! Will examined several pumpkins before settling on the baby one. We had a blast going on the train, in the corn maze and, of course, down the big slide. Our little family had the best time!

We had dinner with the Dotys and Shimabukuros tonight and we had a great time! It was so nice to relax and hang out with such great friends. It is hard to believe that we've known each other for 17 years. Hopefully we can try to get together more often!

Tonight Marc and tried an experiment - leaving Will at school for Parent's Night Out instead of me picking him up at the usual time and then taking him back later. We picked Will up at 8 o'clock and he was absolutely fried. It took forever to wrangel him into his diaper, pajamas and brush his teeth. He wouldn't leave the bathroom and head to his room so I picked him up, only to be scratched on the sides of my face. (I look like I've been in a fight!) After we finally got him asleep, Marc and I were exhausted! We won't be doing Parent's Night Out like this again!

We bought some fruit snacks at the store last week and Will just can't get enough of them. Tonight when I let him have a bag, he also took a pouch out of the box for both Mommy and Daddy. We both got a few of our own fruit snacks before the rest were quickly stolen out of our hands!
