Why did we skip Fall & go right to Winter??

We've been so spoiled the past two years with beautiful autumns. I thought for sure after the mild summer we had that we'd have an indian summer for sure. Not so much... 10/07 - After Sean was called a girl twice while grocery shopping this day, I decided to take him for a hair cut. I didn't want all the curls chopped off, just a trim. He did not want to go, but he did great. I sang songs with him & it was over before we knew it! The trim just made his curls bounce up more! 10/08 - Sean sported his new hair-do for picture day. This is the first picture day I haven't taken him to. We'll see how his smile turned out on 10/29! After work, Grandpa Jim & Sean met me, Grandma & Daddy for dinner at Coney. 10/09 - We went to Chuck E. Cheese with Aunt Annette, Connor & Ella. Grandpa Jim met us up there too. That night was Uncle Scott's 40th Birthday party. Sean LOVED playing the drums and running around the church with his cousins. 10/10 - Sean went to Grandma Sue & Grandpa Larry's. When he came home he saw that a witch flew into our neighbor's tree (really a wooden "witch crashing into a tree" decoration that Grandma bought him). He was so excited. He was telling the neighbors and then later Grandma, Puppa & Great Gram came by so he could show them too. 10/11 - After church, Daddy & Sean went to the "pumpkin patch" or the pumpkin display at Utica & Groesbeck to buy pumpkins. He got one for me, Daddy and of course, him. Daddy's is decorated like a dog, mine is a bear and Sean's is a pig. :) 10/12 - We went to Grandma & Puppa's for dinner. After dinner, Sean & Puppa walked into the living room to read a book. It was dark, so Puppa turned on the light. Sean said, "Puppa, can I tell you something about God?". Puppa said, "Sure, I'd love to hear something about God". Sean then said, "It was dark and God said let there be light and the lights turned on!". Pretty amazing to hear your toddler tell the creation story. :) 10/13 - Sean went to Aunt Mary's while Daddy & I went to Daddy's great aunt Betty's funeral. Sean & Scott played the whole time. Sean didn't even want him to wash the dishes after dinner! He said, "hey Scott, what are you doing?". Like, play with me instead. 10/14 - While grocery shopping, we bought Thomas at the Sodor Works. Sean had to acquire donations from his grandparents before I'd buy it, but like that's a problem... Sean hung out with Grandpa Jim & played with his new toy while I went for my ultrasound (daddy met me there). I showed Sean the picture of "the baby in my belly" when I got home. A little weird and a big concept for him, so not much interest there. After nap, we went to visit Puppa & Great Gram before church. 10/15 - Happy 40th Birthday Uncle Scott!! Grandpa Larry picked Sean up after his nap at Aunt Susie's. Sean kept telling Grandma Sue & Grandpa Larry that he missed his mommy, but when he came home, he went right for Thomas! :) 10/16 - We went to play at Connor's most of the morning. At night, I had a party at my friend Andrea's, so Sean hung out with Daddy & Grandpa Jim. 10/17 - We took Grandpa Jim to see Curious George "Alive" for his birthday. We got to sit in the mezzanine instead of WAY back in the gallery because they didn't sell a lot of tickets. Woo-hoo! Later that night we went to the Mach's. Happy Sweetest Day!! 10/18 - After church we went to Grandma & Puppa's with Uncle Mike, Austin, Livie, Max, Jackson, Aunt Mary & Scott to celebrate Grandma & Puppa's 30th wedding anniversary. Wow - what an awesome accomplishment! After dinner, we went to FX. The virtue this month is individuality. Sean's "homework" was to tell me & Daddy what's special about us. He did that the very next day. Turns out he thinks we're "really nice friends". :) 10/19 - Happy 30th Anniversary Grandma & Puppa! 10/21 - It was 70 deg today, so we went to the zoo with Aunt Annette, Connor, Ella & Adrianna. What an awesome day to be outside. And the zoo is all decorated for Halloween. Plus, Sean & Connor got to feed a giraffe! It was great. We finished the night with dinner with Grandma & Daddy, then church. 10/22 - Sean's hanging out with Grandma Sue & Grandpa Larry tonight (until he starts "missing his mommy" of course...).
