Seth's Scary Pumpkin Face

In the spirit of Halloween we have holiday decorations all around the house, including pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns. Anyway, one day Seth just started making a pumpkin face and it's now known as his "Scary Pumpkin Face." He thinks he's pretty entertaining whenever he does it and pretty much does it on command now ... or whenever he sees a jack-o-lantern. He even decided to show the Dr. repeatedly today at his appointment ... maybe he was trying to warn him against giving him shots?

Anyway, here it is ...

He makes himself laugh more than we do when he does it!

What a character we've got on our hands ... there's a video below of him showing his scary face. Pretty funny, you should check it out!

The other night we were drinking some root beers and Seth really wanted dad's "bottle." So, when there were a few sips left he handed it over and Seth couldn't have been happier.

Until he realized there were only a few drops left, then we got this sad/mad face ... haha, poor guy? Mom and Dad spoil all the fun!

Check out the video of our little jokester trying to scare you with his scary pumpkin face...

Family Fun Day at the Pumpkin Patch!

This weekend I decided we were going to have "Family Fun Day." We hadn't seen Nick for a week and I really didn't want to work so we postponed some things and decided to have a family day. I know you're all jealous of this cheesy-ness ... but it was worth it!

We went to a local Pumpkin Patch to pick out our Halloween pumpkins! The place we went to had a few other fun activities for little kids and families. So we set off for the little corn maze.
Seth thought it was pretty fun to run around and see all the pumpkins.

Yes, of course we took pictures in the cheesy cut-outs. We laughed after wards because Nick unintentionally chose to be the tree instead of the scare crow ... haha! (I'm still laughing about this)

And then we were the pumpkins!

So, we were in the middle of the corn maze and it just started pouring rain!!!! It was crazy, but it wasn't too cold (yet) so we decided to brave the storm and find our way around the maze ... after all it was Family Fun Day!

Seth thought the rain was hilarious.

... And he got muddy for the first time in his life!

Then we saw a "menagerie" of farm animals, as listed on their advertisement. Seth was drawn to the goats, as always! haha ... what a weird-o!

At this point Seth started looking kind of like a wet cat ... but hey we were having fun!

Seth decided to walk up this random ramp ... he tried to do it alone (like that was going to work out), But daddy helped him become King of the Hill.

more Cheesy Pictures coming your way ...

Then we headed back and picked out our pumpkins! Seth found the perfect one!

We also let him get a little one to play with, which as it turns out was a great idea. He carries it around and hugs it. It's pretty cute.

Obviously Family Fun day wore out this little guy ... he was out cold about 30 second after we left the pumpkin patch!

Well, that was the beginning of family fun day! Yes, I know I'm a cheesy mom ... but I'm okay with that. My mom was cheesy too ... and life is just more fun that way!

Monkey Bizness!!

While in Kansas Seth's friend Maddox had his first birthday. So, for his birthday we went to a place called Monkey Bizness at the Great Mall (aka the great waste of space mall) Anyway, it's place for kids to play, they had bouncy houses, little jungle gyms, mats, etc. Seth had never been to anyplace like this, so I was hoping he'd have fun! As soon as we got in there the boys were hesitant for about 2 minutes and then they were off exploring and playing.

They each took turns going down the slides. They were pretty cute playing with each other.

The bouncy house was the most funny because these little guys are already wobbly, add a wobbly walking surface and it's pretty entertaining. They were bouncing and falling all over the place ... and loving every minute of it!

Seth kept squeezing himself through these two bouncy pillars and thinking he was pretty funny.

Maddox's Dad, Sean, took both the boys down the BIG bouncy slide. they both had a look on their face like they weren't quite sure. But, after the slide Seth had a HUGE smile on his face. :)

Before leaving we tried our hardest to snap a picture of the boys together. It was a little challenging.

This is as good as it gets ... and admit it, it's a pretty cute one! Happy Birthday Maddox we sure had a fun time at your party!

Grandpa Wofford had to leave a day before we did for work (sad ) So Seth and Bumpa hung out while Seth was getting ready for night night.

That's it from our trip to Kansas. We had a lot of fun and it was nice to have a little escape (for me at least) and see some friends and obviously family. It was fun hanging out with Tio Taylor because soon he'll be in Mexico and we'll have to miss him for a while. It was good for me to get some quality time with my mom too ... who doesn't need a little mom time now and then? And it's always fun to hang out with my dad too ... especially Seth, he really had a fun time with grandpa!

However, we really missed Nick and were happy to come home and see Dad! Seth had the biggest smile when Nick came to pick us up ... he started yelling "Dad!!! Dad!!! Daddy!!!" cute, cute! Anyway, it was a good trip.

Louisburg Cider Mill

We went to the Louisburg Cider Mill while we were in Kansas and had so much fun. We took Seth last year when he visited Kansas for the first time, but was only a little squirt back then and we wanted him to have some fun with it this year. He was excited on the car ride out there. (and so were my mom, Taylor and I having to be in the back seat of the One Star again!)

We all watched the apples getting washed and ready to become yummy apple cider.

Then the apples were squished and made into cider. Before leaving Tio Taylor took Seth back in to see and there was a lady in there that Seth kept waving at. I guess the lady thought it was pretty funny.

We played in the pumpkins for a while.

Grandpa and Seth were making sure to pat all the pumpkins!

Yeah, he's pretty cute and I'm not ashamed to admit it1

More pumpkin pictures!

Pumpkin hunting with grandpa Wofford.

Then we went inside and saw them making the delicious cider donuts! Seth was very enthralled with watching the lady do it. He was paying very close attention.

And he wasn't too shy about eating them either. Seriously, these donuts are sooo sooo good! I used to look forward to going there every fall when I was a kid, so naturally we will be taking Seth there as many falls as we can make it out to visit! :)

Seth ate a few donuts himself and was even eyeing grandpa Larsen's donut too!

Grandma Wofford with the cider donut eater.

Seth also snatched some of grandma's root beer too!

A few more fun pumpkin pictures with Mom!

He was having a blast running around with Tio Taylor and patting all the pumpkins. He thought it was such a fun fall day. And the weather actually turned out to be nice, so it was perfect for the cider mill.

Grandma and Grandpa Larsen even managed to snap a picture with the little wiggle worm!

Fun! Fun! Fun! We had a great time at the cider mill and I hope we can be close enough to go again next fall.
