A few fall/pumpkin activity pictures : )

[lmintzer]

I love looking at people's fall pictures! All the kids look like they area really enjoying the crisp weather and pumpkins.

Here's a few of ours: the first was taken just outside our house. The next two are from a "Fall Color Festival" at a beautiful Arboretum in our area. It was pretty darn cold out! 45 with a nasty wind chill. Needless to say, we didn't spend much time outside. But Jack did get to decorate a pumpkin, and then we went inside to do fall crafts at the "Leafologist" exhibit. : )

Lisa, I love the pictures! Jack is having a ball with that pumpkin and Jack looks so sweet with his arm around Joshua. I really need to get a picture of DD with our neighbor's 68 pound pumpkin! By the way, who's the little girl in the first pic? I love her coat!

Eileen,
That's actually Joshua, lol! : ) He does look almost "pretty" with his bright blue eyes and bright Hanna jacket.

Those are great fall pictures and your boys are adorable. We're taking Charlie to the pumpkin patch tomorrow. He's only 5 months so he won't get much out of it...it's more for mommy and daddy. :)

BTW, I love that Hanna jacket. I haven't seen it before and wish it was still available! Also, is that an LL Bean bunting that Joshua is wearing?

Thanks!

Oops! Well, at the risk of embarassing him when he gets older, he is BEEYOOOTIFUL! :)

Then again, people often stop by and say, "Oh, what a beautiful baby...er...boy or girl?" I guess I need to dress her in more girly things, LOL!

Awesome!! I just love the look of glee in Jack's face on the last photo. You have such beautiful boys. The second picture would make a lovely holiday card.

Hi Lisa -
Popping in here to say that your pictures are absolutely adorable! Your little Joshua was born on the same day as my Santiago. Santiago was born at 5:55PM.

Also wanted you to know that I saw your post in my thread about Thanksgiving cards. I agree, it's nice to do surprise friends, family with nontraditional holiday cards. I'll post a couple of drafts and ask for input later.

I'm jealous that you're in the chilly weather. I'm in TX and we're expecting temps in the 90s here all week long. Sigh.

Thanks to all for looking and for the nice comments about my boys. Lydia: it's neat that our two share a birthday. I'm not sure I've seen any others with the same b-day on this board. Joshua was due on DEC. 15, but I was induced on Nov. 16 due to low fluid level. He was born at 7:35 p.m. at 5 lbs., 3 1/2 oz.--a little peanut! I can't believe the first year is almost over.

Definitely post pictures of your cards as you are working on them. I'd love to see them!

Hi Lori. Hope you had fun at the pumpkin patch. Although Charlie won't remember the trip, he'll enjoy looking at the pictures when he's older.

I purchased the Hanna jacket last winter (Jan. or so) during the winter sale. However, it turns out, I had bought one size too small and wound up exchanging it just a few months ago. I don't have an old catalog with the code, but definitely post that you're looking for it in the Layette forum. The many Hanna fans there should be able to help you locate it (there may still be a few left--who knows).

And yes, that's an LL Bean bunting. It was big brother Jack's, and now Joshua is using it. : ) LL Bean had some fantastic sale prices on buntings: $16.95! Check it out if you need one for Charlie! They have 6 and 12 month sizes left in a bunch of great colors. PM me if you can't locate the sale page.
