Happy Halloween!

I think they rang the doorbell and knocked a thousand times on each door!


Halloween party....Adam and I were morning people...I know...LAME...but it was free.


Pirate from the aquarium

Shooting webs at me.

Still shooting webs. I couldn't get a picture of him without his hands up shooting webs.

Asher was Spiderman for Halloween this year. Surprise surprise right?! His obsession has yet to die but now I think we could be moving on to transformers. We'll see. Anyways, Halloween was super fun this year. He was into every aspect of it. He was looking forward to trick-or-treating for weeks. Being that I had to spend $30 on a costume, I was looking for every opportunity for him to wear it. SO...Wednesday night we dressed him up and took him to the aquarium. They always have a huge Halloween event. The theme this year was pirates and mermaids. It was a lot of fun! Asher got TONS of candy and saw a pirate scuba dive with the fish. We started our Halloween day off early with a Halloween party at some friend's house. The kids and the parents dressed up. Very funny! The kids played games and ate Halloween cupcakes. And the finale, TRICK-OR-TREATING!! Asher loved it!!! Our friends came over and we just went around our neighborhood. Asher, of course, had to be the first one to the door. It was a race every time. After a few house, Asher decides to stop saying "trick-or-treat" and started saying "we need candy!" UGHHH!!! Also, while all the other kids stood on the porch, Asher would walk into the house. One time, in his race to be first, he got to the door of another house and opened it and just walked on in. No knock, no doorbell, NOTHING!! The lady was very sweet about it. Maybe next year I should work with him on proper Halloween etiquette.

Pumpkin Patch

Hay ride.


I just love this picture. Look at that huge smile on Asher's face. I know he's thinking he's real lucky!



Yee-haw!


Mean pigs!

Seriously?! Free to roam?!

This guy was really hungry. After this picture he stole the bag right out of Adam's hand.

What a cutie! :-)

We have an awesome pumpkin patch in Tulsa. We have gone two years in a row and Asher absolutely loves it!! This Sunday, we went back with our community group from church. Besides climbing on top of all the pumpkins, I think Asher's favorite part is all the animals. You can buy feed and feed goats, sheep, and pigs. However, I would not recommend feeding the pigs. The goats and sheep very kindly lick the feed off your hand...but the pigs...not so nice. One bit Asher's fingers and caused a cry fest for about five minutes. I don't blame him though...I'm sure it really hurt. Besides feeding the animals, Asher rode a pony and a camel. The whole group went on a hay ride and the men raced through a corn maze. I think they were excepting a big manly competition but they came out extremely disappointed. Apparently, the finish line was right next to the entrance. As for me, well I just try not to have a heart attack while I'm there. Anyone who knows me knows that I despise birds! This place has chickens that just freely roam around. UGHHHH!!!! They also have a pen in the middle with huge turkeys in there. It would be my luck that one would escape the pen while I'm there. The thought seriously makes my heart pound!! So I walk around the whole time looking over my shoulder hoping that some evil bird isn't following me.

Being sick :(

So I'm sick today and it's not fun. I woke up with a cough yesterday that I thought came from all the yelling I did at the U2 concert I went to on Sunday night (which was amazing by the way) but the cough just lingered and lingered. Today I'm running fever and just feel really ran down. I swear I'm not trying to be a big baby about being sick but to make matters worse, Adam is out of town all week. AND my usual helper, my mom, is sick too!! So my poor dad came all the way to Tulsa to keep Asher for me. They are staying at a hotel tonight and have just been running around all day doing boy things. :) Again, I promise I'm not trying to be a baby. I would really muster up the energy to take care of Asher while being sick but truth be told, I'm so scared to be around him. I don't know about anyone else but this whole swine flu thing has me freaked out!! Especially for my little boy. There are so many different stories out there right now and I'm so scared for Asher to get it. Some people say oh it's a mild cold and others say it's terrible with 104 fever. Some people say absolutely do not vaccinate and other say it's dumb not to. I just don't know what to do!!! So all of this to say that my sweet dad is keeping Asher away from me....and now I'm terribly lonely! :(
