It's more like autumn at the moment than winter and for that I am thankful. The snow came too early but was gone again quite quickly. We'll get enough of that in winter proper thank you very much!! So now the days are sunny and cool and the leaves are falling which creates a lot of fun for a toddler. Yesterday afternoon I decided to tackle raking some of the leaves and was quite successful after an hour. Oliver helped me by rolling around in the big piles I made :) However, today you wouldn't even know I had done anything! Serves me right for starting the job before all the leaves have fallen but 10/10 for effort right?
Last week the splint came off Oliver's finger for good and I'm pleased to say everything seems fine. He was using his finger and hand normally when I got him up the next day and doesn't seem to miss the splint at all. We're still wondering if the nail will come off but I hope not.
On Saturday morning we had a family photo session at home. A friend of mine has an aunt who has recently started doing photography professionally so we hired her to come to the house and she took a lot of pictures inside and out. I really can't wait to see them! Oliver was a star for the most part and did his very best to look super cute :) Of course this meant that he needed to get a haircut last week so we tried a new salon that has opened just down the road which is specifically for kids. This place has different chairs (cars, planes, etc etc) for the kids to sit in. Oliver chose the fire engine of course which even had a bell that he could ring! He did really great and came out with a sticker and a comb to take home :)
On Saturday afternoon we went off to a Halloween event at a farm about 45 minutes away from us. We had a horse drawn wagon ride and there were lots of animals to see. There was a also a haunted loft (Oliver wasn't so keen on that!) and lots of crafts for the kids to do. Oliver coloured some pictures which is one of his new favourite things to do. We have our pumpkins on the doorstep all ready for our Halloween visitors on Saturday evening. Oliver has a costume ready although we're not sure whether we're taking him out or not - if we do, it'll just be around the cul-de-sac. Let's hope we don't run out of candy this year!
All is well with me and the bump. I keep saying to Jon that I need a new bump picture then we both forget!
Enjoy the new video! Oliver's new favourite tune is by a group called Daughtry and he likes to sing along at the start and finish (the part were they just sing "ooooh, ooooh"!!). It's not the greatest quality - mainly because Oliver has a mouthful of toast......!
Getting a haircut in a fire engine :))
Testing out the comb he got from the hairdressers
It's been a while since we had a Scoop picture. Here she is with the biggest bone ever after being stuck in her crate while we had pictures taken on Saturday!
Checking out the chicken coop with Daddy
On the wagon ride - I think they were looking at the people dressed as a skunk and a butterfly!!
Halloween fun = candy, so here is Oliver with a lollipop!
