Fall Fun

Last week we played out back in the leaves we raked up. Here's some pictures!

Stay tuned: We took Levi to the Newport Aquarium as part of his birthday present....so I will be posting those pictures soon!

BIG-A-BOY BED

Here is the promised picture of Levi's big boy bed.....what he refers to as his big-a-boy- bed. He's been in it now for over a month and the transition actually was fairly easy thank goodness! He really does enjoy taking his naps and going to bed in it, so that's a blessing!

Yes, moms, the bed isn't made....he just got up from his nap in this picture! :)

Trick or Treat

On the weekend of trick-or-treat, my mom came down to help out! Even though she wasn't feeling the best herself, it was a definite blessing having her here! I don't think I would have been able to take Levi trick-or-treating if I didn't have her help. Here's some pictures of our night.

Getting Levi all ready!

CHEESE!

Walking up with Grandma (Mom- I need that picture of you and Levi together!!!!)

Doing it all by himself!

Worn out at the end of the night.....I think we hit about 20 or so houses which made for one full pumpkin!

Ever since Halloween, Levi has been really into monsters. He loves when Anthony pretends to be a monster, and he will proceed to say "Go away monsters, don't like you, go back to your home" Sometimes he will throw in a "we'll punch your lights out monsters". It makes us laugh...his imagination is funny. He also will voluntarily come inside in the evenings because he knows that when it gets dark outside, the monsters come out. There were some houses decorated in our neighborhood during trick or treat with whiches and ghosts and all, so he still remembers which houses those are as well. When we walk by them, he is sure to tell them to "go away"!

On Sunday, Mom treated us to Cracker Barrel!

I'm now starting to pump up Thanksgiving and Christmas to Levi. The holidays are going to be fun this year for sure.

Another random thing about Levi lately is that he likes to have phone conversations with my real cell phone or his play phones. Every time it consists of a phone call to papa, and he will say the following. "Hello Papa, what you doing in there? Playing? Yes sir!" If you could only hear his voice when he says it, it cracks me up every time!

Stay tuned...I will try and do a better job of updating my blog page with whats going on in our lives!

Trunk-or-Treat

Last Wednesday our church had Trunk-or-treat night. I'm so glad that it worked out for us to go because on Halloween Trick-or-treat night, Anthony had to work. So at least he got to see Levi get dressed up for one of the nights! We decided to have Levi be a referee because he enjoys watching college football on Saturdays with daddy. But instead of getting into the plays and such, he LOVES when the refs come on....and especially when they call a false start.

So leading up to Halloween we taught Levi how to do the motions for a false start call, to blow the whistle and throw the flag and to yell out, "false start on the offense, 5 yard penalty, repeat first down" Only his version sounded more like"false start, opense, somebody, firs don!!!" Here's some pictures from truck-or-treat. I will get trick-or-treat pictures up soon!

All ready to go! He loved blowing the whistle!
