I love halloween! Here is a collection of pictures from our halloween festivities this week. Making sugar cookies, making halloween cutouts to hang on the fridge and carving a pumpkin. When I pulled the seeds out of the pumpkin, Joshua said "squirrel food!". He also insisted that it was a happy pumpkin that had ears.

Oakland Zoo
We made a trip to the Zoo over the weekend. Joshua had a blast running around looking at all the animals. His favorite- the giraffe.

Sous Chef
Joshua enjoys helping me out in the kitchen. He will come running in when he hears the mixer come on. Because of an age handicap, Elise isn't much competition for licking the beaters, spoons and bowls. We were making the brownies for a visit from his Uncle- another one of Joshua's loves. He always loves it when Blake comes over.

Family Day
Our Saturdays are usually spent running errands and taking care of things around the house. Keith decided that we needed to shake things up yesterday, so we headed to Gilroy to spend some time at an amusement park. It was really fun. We went to a park that is geared more towards younger kids. Joshua had so much fun. Last night, I went in to say goodnight to him and he insisted that I lie down. He started reminiscing about his day... "I drive blue car", "I fly fish", "I ride boat", "I ride train", "I ride horse- up and down". It was the first thing he started talking about this morning too.

A Mother's Love
For 2 1/2 years I have been constantly telling my son how much I love him. I have waited and anticipated the day that Joshua would utter those three little words back to me. Typically after naps he likes to snuggle until he fully wakes up. This is one of my favorite times of the day. Today while I held him I said "I love you Joshua". He was still a little groggy and whispered to me " I love.....(my heart started softening)..... trains". Not the third word I was hoping to hear. Hopefully, one day I will move ahead of trains on the list of things he loves.
