New Swingset

A new swingset. Well not new, but new too us thanks to Craigslist. It's in very nice shape and we were lucky to find it. We found it not too far away and went and picked it up this past Friday. Mark's brother Dave was here for deer hunting and went along and helped haul it home and get it set up. Didn't take too long as it came home in just a few sections. Within a few minutes they had it all together. Connor's loving it. I'm afraid we'll be out there when there's 3 feet of snow on the ground this winter.






Baker man

Connor and I made some cookies here not too long ago. He loves to cook and help measure and pour. He thinks he can crack eggs, but Mom handles that one for now. I think he likes to help just to lick the beater when we are done.

HALLOWEEN 2009

On the Thursday night before Halloween we took Connor out to a few neighbors and friends in the area, since we were going to my parents house for the weekend.

Here I am with my little rooster. Mark trying to get Connor ready.
Notice the Halloween socks he received for a gift.
Connor with Hank and Carolyn, friends of ours from church. They gave him a little book, along with some sweet treats too.

At Grandma and Grandpa Bass' waiting to go trick or treating. He took a liking to the pumkin pail.

First stop, Grandma Bass and then pictures on the front steps.My sister, Bon was home too so Connor went trick or treating with his cousins,
Izzabelle (skunk) and Ethan (elephant).
Trick or Treat, Auntie Crystal! Of course she loaded up their bags.
Yeah, I think I like that one.
The three amigos on Crystal and Brent's front steps.
They're all chewing on candy.
Costume contest at the Legion Hall in Okabena. Izzabelle, on the right, won a prize for her group. The little Tigger in the middle is one of my cousin's daughters, Lily. She also won a prize. Not sure who the little ladybug is.

Connor and Ethan also won prizes for their age group. The little owl on the left is one of my cousin's son, Trevor.
Aah, finally. Treat time. Dumping out the treats on the kitchen floor.
Ooh, smarties!
