Fall Fun

This month, we've been able to do a lot of fun things with our friends and playgroups.  With it being fall, we've had some regular activities but also some more fall/Halloween themed activities that have been really fun.  I figured I would just put it all in one post since I just took a few photos at each event.

First, we went to the zoo with Bridget and her daughters Alexandra and Victoria.  Joseph and Alexandra are so cute together and are so much more interactive together than when they were real little.  They like to play chase - oh, and they feed each other food if we mistakenly put their high chairs next to each other.  :)

Sweet little friends - and the best pic we could get of them both looking somewhat foreward

Then, the next week our church playgroup event was rescheduled so some of us opted for a playdate at a park instead.

 

Joseph and Rhodes - he was so happy to have another little boy buddy that enjoyed putting mulch up on the playset ledge as much as he does!

The best group shot we got!  Michelle, Bridget and Nikki with kiddos!

 Then that Sunday, we had our annual Fall Bazaar at church!  Our church is huge with tons of families - so the fall bazaar is always a huge event.  And what's amazing is that all the money raised through the bazaar goes 100% to the community and different charities.  So we enjoyed a BBQ lunch and then took Joseph to play some of the little kiddie games.

Digging for a prize!

Not a very good pic, but this was me helping him play the fishing game where the kid holds the pole and drops it over the little divider board for a prize.  :)

Michael got in on the fun too at the "Wine Wheel" - basically like roulette but if the arrow stops on your number you win a bottle of wine.  

Then later that week, Joseph and I went to Hobby Lobby where I was thrilled to see that their fall decor was 40% off.   So we bought a new little scarecrow for our living room.  Joseph LOVES the scarecrow and still points at it or kisses it every day!    He was so excited to go sit by it on the fireplace and drink his milk next to scarecrow.

Then, he decided he didn't want Bunny to feel left out.

...well then, Doggie and Moose couldn't feel left out either....

...and before you knew it, we had the whole stuffed animal gang all together with Scarecrow!  :D

We then had a Halloween Party playdate with our Tiny Tots church playgroup at a girl's house.  Only a couple of the kids wore their costumes.  Joseph is a giraffe this year for Halloween!   He actually kept the costume on quite well and had fun chasing his own tail a few times!

Outside, the kids had lots of fun playing with toys.

He loves balls!

 And then finally, yesterday we went with the same playgroup to the zoo for Zoo Boo. Basically the Houston Zoo decorates with Halloween decorations, have a little pumpkin area for the kids and various trick or treating spots.   We had a nice time and I was so glad the cold front came through just in time for Joseph to be able to wear his costume outside for a while without sweating up a storm.

While we were waiting for our group, I was able to get one pic of him with the hat part on.  Then he was all done with that part!

Me, Joanna and Leigh with the babes!

So happy he picked out his own mini pumpkin!
