The ball as security blanket

Eddie had a super long nap on Sunday. Den and I were actually practically waiting for him to wake up so we could take him to go pick pumpkins. We knew it'd be a hit and weren't disappointed.

I'm not sure if Ed really wanted these super sized pumpkins he kept approaching, but he eventually settled on a couple smallish--medium sized pumpkins that he could almost pick up. Then, as we were leaving, he decided to pick up a couple extra baby pumpkins that he could potentially hurl across the front yard. Suppose I should post a picture of him with what we got--maybe I'll be brave enough to try--I have visions of him rolling the pumpkins off the front steps and trying to throw pumpkins at/to me in a game of toss.

Den is out of town right now-he's gone for 2 nights, home for one and then heads out to the west coast for 2 nights--catching a red eye to get back Sat. morning.

Ed doesn't have a favorite teddy bear or blanket, or even a favorite ball. But lately he has taken to wanting to take a ball with him for naps and at night for bed. He took a ball up with him tonight and held onto it the whole time I was reading to him. Cracked me up.

What great pictures. Looks like Eddie really liked the pumpkin patch you took him to. Be interesting to see what he thinks of Halloween. We have Halloween on Saturday night from 6-8. Are you taking him out to trick or treat? And if so, what costume is he wearing?

Our Halloween is on the 31st. We'll probably take him to a handful of the neighbor's houses. More importantly is the big Halloween bash our friends are having for over 250 people--lots of kids will be there, so that will be fun.

Eddie's actually a produce kid. He likes picking tomatoes, peppers, flowers, nandina berries, and pumpkins (if these had been on the vine). Dad--from Williamsburg.

We went to a pumpkin patch as well this past weekend for a parents of multiples get-together. Sam and Aidan had a good time looking at all the people running around.

The boys only lasted about an hour and a half but we did get some cute pictures.

It will definitely be more fun next year when they can walk around and pick their own pumpkins.
