Stockings

I made these stockings myself. Well with a lot of help from Melissa actually. It was so fun to do my first ever sewing project with her. I have a long ways to go, but I am actually pretty proud of my work. I thought that I would never ever learn to sew. It was great to learn something new and it's always fun to make stuff. Thanks Mel!!

Santa came to town!

Well clearly he wasn't thrilled to be sitting on Santa's (who looked to be about 16 yrs old) lap, but it was a fun visit to the park and he walked away with a little goodie bag so you can't complain too much. I just really love that Santa comes right to the neighborhood.

Toddler Bed "Fun"

Little Evan guy now sleeps in a toddler bed. . . . . well at night. He goes to bed just perfectly at night. He does not get up one single time. Well he has done it for 3 nights now anyway. He will not take a nap in it though. Day one he fell asleep at his closed bedroom door and day 2 he didn't go to sleep at all after being in there for over an hour. He doesn't throw a huge fit or anything. He just knocks on his door and kind of cries a little. The knocking is pretty funny! Well hopefully he will get the hang of it soon and return to the days of 3 hour long naps that he was taking just days ago.

Great Gift Idea

If you are having trouble thinking of what to get your little one for Christmas this year here is something that Evan just loves to play with!

Fierce Boxer

He's got his game face on here. I thought it might be kind of dumb to take him trick or treating since he's only one, but I felt like a boring mom to do nothing. We threw this costume together and we were on our way. He actually caught right on and loved it. He did such a good job carrying his bucket and even managed to say a version of trick or treat. We only went to like 3 houses, but he got a pretty nice stash. It was actually really fun. Yeah- it's warm enough here for him to go shirtless.

Sweats

BRRR! It was cold here today. It dropped all the way down to the 40s. I think Evan looks so cute in his little sweat pants. I just keep smiling when I look at him.

Pumpkin Patch

I am really not good at blogging. I post a few pictures and write a little bit. That's just what I do though so oh well. I don't see it changing. Here is Evan at the pumpkin patch. It's a pretty cute place to take pictures and Evan had fun running around and riding the train. Melissa has some really good pictures on her blog from the big event.
