What does a ghost get when he falls and scrapes his knee?

A boo boo!

We spent the morning at the zoo-ZooBoo!  It was a lot of fun for the kids--the weather held up and the sun actually peeked through the gloomy clouds toward the end of the visit.  The zoo does an awesome job at this event!!  We had a fun day!  On our way home, we stopped for pizza and actually found the best pizza I have had in a while-Joe's Brooklyn pizza-yum!  We ran into Hallmark and got Gray his Christmas ornament for the year-we usually wait so long and all of the good ones are gone-his third Christmas with us! We then found this book outlet-70% off all books-all of the time!  Great deals-got Gray and Kyle got some new books.  Hanging out tonight-rented, "The Proposal"-I really hope it is as funny as the previews looked.

Shave and a haircut, two bits!

Gray and Kyle got their haircut last night-I was going to take pictures of them-Kyle holding Gray while getting his haircut-but Grayson was not a happy camper.  He doesnt like the clippers and wasnt fond of the scissors either.  It was so much "fun!"  But doesn't he look so cute!!

An Apple a Day Keep the Doctor Away!

We were finally around on a weekend to go apple picking-my family has gone apple picking every year since I was a little girl, and this is definitely a tradition I want to bring to our family! Aunt Linda and her friend, Carol, and her daughter, Meg, met us at Whittier Fruit Farm. It was the coldest day that we have had yet and it sprinkled-but this didnt deter us! We picked a huge bushel of apples, a small pumpkin, and then we rode the haywagon back to the front of the orchard (after a LONG and muddy walk out to the back.) Gray LOVES apples and was very excited to see them all over the ground and to pick them from the trees. He loved trying all of the different kind of apples. We had a great time-and then we spent the rest of the cold weekend snuggled up in our house. I have also been trying to figure out what to do with the apples-because I dont want to bake -because I will eat it all!! I made applesauce and have made baked apples in the oven and in the microwave-the oven def wins, but it just takes way too long!!

We have seen a lot of my family this month-my parents came up the first weekend in October so we could all go see my aunt Linda's wreaths and scarves at the Hilton Apple Festival-it was a beautiful day!  The following weekend we headed up to the Kolozdie's house-to not only memorialize Grandma, but to hang out for the weekend.  Poor Mat was off to work- but we did get to see him for a few hours. We were also able to hang out with the Fraziers-the guys watched football, the girls watched HGTV-sounds like a good Sunday to me!!

Gray and Maddy are good buddies-I wish they could hang out more often!!

Ab Imo Pectore, Te Semper Amabo

We were finally able to visit the cemetary in Granville to bury my Grandma's ashes.  It is a beautiful cemetary and we had a beautiful ceremony to remember her...I miss my Grandma.

Just like Daddy

Gray and Paige playing--they both love to get into any baskets/containers that are around the house...

Hmm--how do I get out?

The last corn of the season...Gray loves eating it right off the cob!

The Renno Wedding

We spent the last weekend in September in CT at Clutch and Marge's wedding. It was a beautiful day and celebration. We had a great time!!

Kyle was a handsome groomsman.
