Wheels on the Bus

Turns out Benton is picking up things at school other than coughs and a runny nose. We just discovered today that he knows this song.

Also, this is now how he sits in his car seat. Like he's the king.

Last week for Thanksgiving, Benton got to spend a lot of time with the family. Here he is playing with his cousin Cooper in Alabama.

He also got to break the wishbone with his Uncle Zach and Uncle Jess. 

After Thanksgiving, we put up the Christmas tree. This is new for Benton since last year we just had a baby tree. We're not sure if the tree is worth it or not yet. So far, the number of times we say "no" every day has increased by a thousand.

But we're definitely excited about Christmas! Should be a visit with Santa coming soon.

Happy Halloween!

Wishing you a fun-filled evening of tricks, treats and silly costumes. Go bananas! Benton sure will.

Pumpkin patch

We celebrated the fall season at the Pumpkin Patch this weekend. Even though it was unseasonably hot, it was still fun. Our friends, the Mollettas, went with us so that Benton could spend some quality time with his GF, Madelyn. 


The Bento Box was not in a photogenic mood and the sun was ridiculous, so our pictures are unimpressive. But here they are anyway.

Obsessed with animals. He kept mooing at the goats.

Seriously adorable kids. Look like they could be siblings.

We didn't buy a pumpkin. But if we did, it would have been this one.

Tractor fascination.

With Dad on the hayride.

Family shot.

I guess we'll have to wait for Christmas tree season to have the sweatshirt and apple cider experience I was hoping for. At least Benton and Madelyn had a lovely date.
