What we have been up to October edition

This past month has been nutso with activities.  Gavin has soccer twice a week and then choir on Wednesdays not to mention all of the other activities on the weekend. 

These two pictures were taken by our Children and Families Minster after choir one day and I just love them!!  Gavin takes such good pictures for everyone but me :).



Gavin's school has a Farmer Brown day every year in place of celebrating Halloween.  We were last minute with the costume as usual, Clay and Gavin hit Walmart two nights before.  I thought they did really well.  Gavin adores his boots even if they are 2 sizes too big and fall off every time you pick him up....

Just to show you the difference in the pictures I get and the ones other people get please see below.  The first one was one Mama took and the other three his teachers took... I am really glad they send them to me or I may never have a decent picture of the little rascal!





On the 26th, I slogged/walked my first race since having Wyatt at the St. John's Color Me Wicked.  I now know what my worst time ever will be.  And I was sore for the entire next week.... I definitely have a ways to go...  Gavin and two of his friends joined in after the 5k for the 1 mile run and they absolutely loved getting hit with all the "paint" in fact they went through a couple of the stations more than once which made us the absolute last people to pass the finish line, Ha!


Then of course we stayed after for the carnival where they had some of the most artistic face painting I have ever seen, Gavin was SOOOOOOOOOO proud of his lion face, he wouldn't let us wash it off that night and we only got to take the remnants off the next morning before church with the promise that Clay would paint his face again after church.

On Sunday we had a birthday party for two of the boy's cousins.  Wyatt enjoyed being snuggled by everyone there and Gavin had a blast being chased by all of his girl cousins and blowing bubbles with Uncle Chris. 


They look like the mafia don't they....until you see that Clay's face is painted like a brown lion???  Gavin wanted Daddy's face to be painted too.  He tried to talk Mama into being a pink lion but I had to draw the line somewhere :)


 I just love Gavin's expression in this picture




After the cousin's party we had the fall festival at church, Gavin was Spiderman with a brown tiger face....


We talked sweet Clay into letting Gavin pie him in the face, pretty sure he wins Daddy of the year for that one!







Last Thursday we celebrated Wyatt's first Halloween.  He was his usual laid back self in his Max costume from Where the Wild Things Are.  The thing said it was 0 - 6 months but as big as it was on him I am pretty sure they meant 12 -18 months!
 I just love this picture of them, Gavin is the sweetest big brother ever which is such a sigh of relief because I just knew he would react to Wyatt the way that I reacted to my little brother....which was not sweet at all!

Saturday Gavin got to go on his 1st deer hunt of the season and they saw two deer!  Gavin kept screaming at Clay, "shoot it Daddy, shoot it" needless to say the deer heard them and made his exit quickly :)
