Fall is here, Fall is here!!

Finally fall is here, and we all know what that means cooler weather, time changes, leaves changing and falling.....and fun times in October for Nico!!!!!! Our fall started out kind of crappy with really cool weather, but definitely took a change for the better the last couple of weeks where we could play outside and get the outside stuff ready for winter.

Our first event of October, was the Ringling Brothers Circus up at The Quicken Arena almost two Thursday's ago. We made it there just in time to stand in line and go through the metal detectors....a little scary we live in these times, but anyway we got there in time to meet and greet some of the performers and stand on the stage. Nico was a little shy, but of course amazed by all the sights and sounds. Then it was time to go to our seats, which was in the nose bleed section because Mommy waited until the last minute to buy the tickets, but there definitely was not really a bad seat in the house! It was a two hour show of lions, tigers, elephants, trapeze acts, human cannon balls and so much more!!! A great night was had by all and we were sad to go, but definitely exhausted from the long night....Nico even fell asleep on the way home!

Next, we went to our annual Pumpkin Patch outing in Hartville to buy our pumpkins. Nico got to play in the corn box, ride a train (that he insisted on riding the caboose), petted the animals, ran through a maze and finally ran through the pumpkins until Mommy made him pick the pumpkin he had to have. Although I was a little disappointed that he wasn't more interested, but all in all it was a great night for all!!!

Then on Tuesday it was time to Carve the pumpkins we bought, so Daddy got the tools and stencils ready after cleaning off the dirty pumpkin and we were off. Mommy and Nico cleaned out his pumpkin, and then Daddy drew the stencil marks on it so Mommy and Nico could cut out all the "silly face". It was a great time to watch him, and to see how uninterested he was in getting his hands dirty with the grime inside :) Daddy then was off onto his pumpkin and he did a ghost, which also turned out really good. It was a fun time for all of us and everyone so far has been pretty impressed with how they turned out! Now if they would only stay nice, but I am sure it's about time to pitch them!

Halloween weekend was upon us. Friday night we went to Boo at the Zoo with our friends Vicky, Jeff and Dash (who dressed up as an adorable monkey). It was a beautiful night and the animals were all out, playful and showing off to all the trick or treaters! Towards the end Nico had enough and was hungry, so Mommy got to hold Thomas the Train and Nico continued to take in all the sights and sounds. We ended the night with dinner at Parasson's and Nico was again tired and ready for bed once we got home! Saturday started out crappy with rain and cold, but ended up by trick or treat time beautiful, just like a fall day...a little chilly for me, but a hot cup of tea helped that! We had quite a few trick or treater's and Nico and his friend Rylyn went to a few houses, but we all know that two 3 year olds have their own agenda and there's was to play! Nico and Daddy got the golf clubs out and they pretended they knew what they were doing!!! :)

This has definitely been a fun month, and now with the holidays coming up only more fun to come!!!! A photoshow is in the works with all the pictures, I figured you didn't need to see them twice as well as the few I put up on Facebook if you are on there too!

Until our next adventure........
