Andrew wore his pumpkin costume to daycare today. They had a little party and Gina gave all of the kids goodie bags. Andrew had a ghost in his!

Aunt Michelle and Uncle Scott came over to celebrate Andrew's first Halloween! We all went trick-or-treating and then ate candy when we got back to the house.

Time for Jack-O-Lanterns!

Last night we carved our pumpkin for Halloween. Andrew and I designed the pumpkin and then Brian did the manual labor part. Brian wanted a scarey "boy" pumpkin but I overruled him and he carved a happy cute pumpkin! It was a lot of fun and Andrew watched the whole time. Maybe next year I'll let him play with the pumpkin guts!

I pass these two homes every day on my way to and from work. I thought maybe everyone would like to see..

These crazy people ripped out all of their grass and turned their front

yard into a cemetary for Halloween. Oh, to have money to burn like that...

Here is a picture of my HGTV Dream Home! They were filming inside the house that day. Maybe the next picture I will get some of the film crew in it. I keep driving by taking pictures...I don't want them to think I'm a stalker!

While dad's away...

...Andrew and Mommy will play!

Brian took a long weekend vacation and went hunting up in Shasta with his friend's. He left Wednesday night and got back this afternoon. Andrew and I had four whole days to play! Thank you Oma for coming up and watching Andrew on Thursday and Friday. I know Andrew had a ton of fun and the house hasn't been that clean in a long time!

My mom came over a few times to play with Andrew and keep me company. She was very proud of the mohawk she gave Andrew after his bath on Friday night! I don't think Brian is going to let me hang out with her again anytime soon though. I think we bought every baby outfit we saw on Saturday when we were out shopping.

Today Andrew and I met our playgroup friends at the pumpkin patch. It was nice to catch up with the other moms and see the babies play.

Go Auntie Michelle!

Andrew's Aunt Michelle is running a 1/2 marathon tomorrow. Andrew told me he wanted to show his support!!

5 months

Hey Little Man,

Wow, another month has flown by! This was a big month for you; you got baptised, went to your first pumpkin patch and got sick for the first time. You're getting more and more interactive as the days go by. You've mastered rolling over, grabbing and holding onto things, talking to anyone who will listen and sleeping through the night. (The last one is mommies favorite!)

As always, I love you more than words could ever express and the joy you bring to mommy and daddies life is immeasurable. You amaze me every day with the things that you do and I can't wait to see what fun stuff will happen this next month.

Love you!

Mommy

Rollin' Rollin' Rollin'

Andrew is becoming quite the rolling champion. If they ever add this "sport" into the Olympics, Andrew would get a gold medal for sure!
