O Christmas Tree

Saturday my parents went to Santa Cruz to cut down a tree. Once everyone was home Nathan was excited to get started on decorating it.

 I can no longer keep Brady on his back. He almost always immediately rolls to his stomach when he is placed on the floor. He is growing up so fast.

 Our attempt to get a picture of the boys  with the Christmas tree.

Bourdet's Christmas tree farm

Saturday we joined some friends at a local Christmas tree farm in Hollister. They had several activities  for the kids to enjoy. Nathan was excited to spend time with his friends from Nursery. Triplet girls just his age and he enjoyed every minute. There was a petting zoo, playground, tractor ride, and even Santa. Nathan talked about seeing Santa the whole drive to the farm but of course as soon as we saw him Nathan would have nothing to do with him.

Halloween

Our first Halloween activity was to paint a pumpkin. Nathan had received a small pumpkin during our trip to the pumpkin farm and since it was too small to carve I thought he would enjoy painting it. I let him pick out a couple colors and then let him paint away.

Shortly after painting Nathan just wanted to curl up on the couch with me and soon he had fallen asleep. when he woke up he was still acting lethargic and I discovered that he was running a fever. I gave him some medicine and he spent the rest of the afternoon resting with his blanket.
We decided to call off taking him to any houses for trick or treating and ended up just taking him to the church for trunk or treat. He was feeling better by then but still pretty worn out. He loved collecting candy from each of the cars but after about an hour he asked to go home.

 This year the boys dressed up as super heroes. Brady was Batman.

 Nathan was Clark Kent. Kerri did this costume a couple years ago with Aidan and I loved it. And since Nathan didn't care about who he dressed as I decided this was perfect.

Pumpkin Carving

We finally took the time on Saturday to carve our pumpkin. Unfortunately the one we had pick out from the pumpkin farm started showing signs of rot just a couple days after we brought it home. And Since neither Dave or I want to clean out the rotten insides we ended up making another quick trip to the pumpkin farm to pick out a new one. Nathan had fun telling me what kind of face he wanted on the pumpkin. Two triangle eyes, a triangle nose, and a smiling mouth.
