Halloween

Poppie's Birthday Party - had a picnic and rode a train, which Luke LOVED except for the Halloween-decorated tunnel. It didn't seem to scare him too much the first time, but he was extremely anxious about it the second time. But after we survived the second trip through he was ready to go again!


Went to a Halloween party at the country club - I was so happy that he actually let me put on all the gear...

And once we started accumulating some candy, he REALLY got into a party mood...

Golfing for candy...

Hayride through the neighborhood...

Hooray for Fall!!

Who doesn't love to run around nekkid??!!


Half dressed...

Indoor golf....

School fall festival...

Riding the hay ride...

Luke LOVES to carry around pumpkins - we have a bunch at our house that he constantly rearranges. At the school he found a huge pumpkin which he of course tried to carry around and ended up rolling it all over the place.

Park

I broke my camera battery door, so haven't been taking many pictures lately. These were all taken with my iphone, so the quality isn't as good, but better than nothing.

We LOVE to go to our new neighborhood park. We go practically every day. Luke really likes to swing.

Bowling

Luke is an absolute hoot to go bowling with. He throws the ball down the lane with two hands. And gets so excited when it comes back through the machine. Now, every time we pass the bowling alley, he begs to go bowling.

After he got a little tired, he agreed to use the ramp to help shoot the ball down. But he had to do it all by himself...

Luke's book of his favorite things

I made Luke a photo book of some of his favorite things (train, bus, firetruck, moon, LuLu, cousin Winky, airplane, LarryBoy, etc) - walmart.com photo has a really easy way to make a book for as little as $7!!

He LOVES his book and "reads" it all the time. One day I heard him say emphatically, "That's a happy picture" while looking at family photos. Awwwwww - how sweet! Of course, when I told MeMa about it, she asked him to show her the happy picture and he pointed to LarryBoy.

Busted

Luke came bouncing into the study chewing on something shortly before bedtime. I asked him "WHAT are you chewing on??!!" knowing full well Daddy must have given him a jelly bean. He knew he was busted because he just grinned and pulled his cheeks open with his fingers (like this photo, but tongue sticking out). Sugar before bedtime??!!! Daddy AND Luke know better....

I don't know why this makes me crack up, but Luke often answers various questions with "well... could be." Or "maybe later". Or "that's awesome!". Or "yeah, sure".

Today we saw a deer family eating by the side of the road, so we stopped and rolled down our window. Luke yells out the window "Hi deer!" and they all ran away.

What's Your Name?

They must be practicing this at school, because Luke keeps asking over and over again "What's your name?" - he asks EVERYONE now, even the dog. And when I ask what his name is, he says "Wuke Ackey" (no L's yet).
