Halloween weekend

Cash had a fun fall weekend with lots of time outdoors and some candy as well. On Saturday we walked down to the Farmer's Market which is always a good time even though it was a little cold and rainy. However, it cleared up in the afternoon and we spent a lot of time outdoors. So much time, that we forgot to nap and proceeded to have some first tantrum spells...but I digress.

On Sunday we got dressed up for church and I made Cash take pictures with me out on the festively decorated front porch. These are the last photos you will see taken with my Sony Cybershot as we had a bit of a snafu while handing off the camera, causing it to drop and break beyond repair. Which is a bit unfortunate since Cash looks pretty darn cute in his monkey suit for Halloween. IPhone pics will have to suffice and they did when we went to Trunk or Treat at our church last night. Everyone was pretty impressed with the cute little monkey. This morning we got dressed up again for Halloween at day care. Since I'm not sure we'll be going out around the neighborhood this year (I don't think he really gets it yet and I'm more excited to hand out candy for the first time) it's good that he's gotten some good use out of the monkey suit.

Glow Tub

This weekend when Ross was away, Cash and I decided to have a little fun with tubby time. So I bought some glow sticks to throw in the water. Cash was pretty amused for a good five minutes which tends to be his max attention span right now so overall, a success!

Happy Birthday Grandma Mollie!

Cash wanted to send a very special Happy Birthday to his Grandma Mollie in Texas. We love you and will Skype with you soon.

Work trip

Last Saturday I left on a four day trip for work to Columbus, OH. This was the first trip I've taken since June, and the longest since Cash was born. Plus it was in Ohio. So overall, not ideal. However nothing is better than getting to surprise him the next morning when I get him out of his crib which leads to Cash and me hanging out all day.

Trip to Hugh McCrae Park

Last Sunday we decided to try out the toddler playground at Hugh McCrae park. It was one of the first cooler days of fall and the past week had seen Ross away on a work trip and then with friends. We were in need of a much needed day for the three of us to hang out and not work on the house, clean, run errands, etc. The playground was great - just the right size for Cash and he had a blast for a good 20 minutes before he decided that running in the parking lot was more fun. Oh well! It was still fun and we'll have to make it back sometime soon.
