What we've been up to...

A handful of things over the past couple of weeks -
- Made a trip to a 'family fun farm' out near Issaquah, WA with Scout and Co. for some autumnal fun and, ideally, picking pumpkins. That was a blast, as the farm had a lot of different things to see and do. Less of a blast, since it was rainy, the train wasn't running, and the pumpkins were not so much 'you pick' as 'you select from the pile on the ground'. But we had a fun time, and Peregrine liked the animals and the train (of course, stationary though it was), and both he and Scout had an absolute blast in the hayloft. And afterward we headed to a separate pumpkin-picking area...which still wasn't 'you pick', but, meh, it worked. They had wheelbarrows and a field full of pumpkins so that worked out just great.
- Pippers has definitely learned about his pockets and he looks SO CUTE when he tucks his hands in them.
- Lots of time at the park and back...the other day he walked the whole way home from the park! That's a 10 minute walk for us adults, and it's the first time he has done this. Not only that, he carried a HUGE leaf pretty much the whole way. He's getting so big!
- Peregrine participated in pumpkin carving for the first time this year. I think last year he was...underfoot, but not really involved. This year he helped Mama carve a masterpiece!

We'll be trick-or-treating this evening with Scout, before Grandpa Bruce comes into town for a few days. Hopefully we'll have some more good pictures after that! Hope everyone is safe, warm, and dry out there!

Big boy bed!

It's official: Peregrine is a big boy. Yesterday we made the trip down to IKEA to get him his new big boy bed. When we got home he helped papa pit it together, and last night he snuggled down in hos new blanket and slept all night no problem. How time flies!
