Leaves, leaves everywhere

Sean just sent me this video of him and Matteo cleaning up the leaves in the front yard!!

By the way, all these leaves are NOT from any tree in our yard. They are all from the neighbor's trees!

A Walk in the Park

Sunday, we took advanatage of the gorgous fall day, and went for a walk in the park with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Vikki!! It was really nice to get out, and Matteo actually took a stroll too, that is until he found the raisens in the diaper bag, then all bets were off!!

Grandpa, trying to keep up with Matteo!

A stroll with Grandpa!

We found a caterpiller!

Off we go!

Trick or Treat!

Monkeys and giraffes, oh my!! It was Matteo's 2nd Halloween, and while I don't think he'll remember either one, it was still a good time had by all. Last year, it was dad racing home from work so that he could make it in time to bundle Matteo up and sit on the front porch and pass out candy. This time, it was mom's turn to rush home. Because of my schedule, I wasn't able to make it home until about 7pm, technically on my lunchour, but I was there, none the less.

It was so nice to be greeted by a monkey running up the driveway at me. Matteo looked so cute in his costume and I think he really enjoyed wearing it. After a couple of times over to the neighbors to steal some candy, the monkey boy had had enough.

Inside he went, off came the costume and the real fun, the candy eating, could begin. One thing we have realized, Matteo enjoys candy, and he knows where it is. I kept bringing his pumpkin up to us and trying to some. He still does it even today, three days after!

Matteo actually go to go Trick or Treating twice. We went with the Toledo Parent's Group, trick or treating thru the streets of Point Place in the morning. It was a great time had by all!
