October is here!

We have finally made it to October!  I am so excited for many reasons, but the main one is that in about 2 weeks Carson will be here.  This morning Connor and I headed to MOPS.  We had another great day and Connor seemed to really enjoy being there again.  As we were leaving I reached down to grab his hand and he looked up at me and said "Mommy, I big boy.  I no hold hand."  He did however agree to it while crossing the street when I told him it wasn't an option.  Just one more reminder of how fast he is growing up!

Not only did I have a nice relaxing morning, but I can home to a great surprise from my sweet mom.  While we were gone she came over and cleaned my house!!!!  Did I mention that I have the greatest mom in the world?!  

The teacher in me felt like we needed to do some pumpkin activities since it is starting to feel like fall and the pregnant side of me said "Let's make cookies!"  So Connor helped me bake some pumpkin shaped cookies this afternoon.  

They were delicious!

 While they were baking we got out the art supplies.  I quickly drew a pumpkin on a sheet of paper and got the finger paint all ready for Connor to start.  After showing him what to do he looked at me and politely asked for a paint brush.  He makes me laugh!  Even when I tell him its okay to make a mess, he still doesn't want to get his hands dirty.

 When I asked him what I should write on his paper, his response was "I love pumpkins!"  (Which he repeated throughout the rest of the afternoon because he was having so much fun.) 

I tried to get a video of him saying "I love pumpkins", but he decided that counting them was more fun.  You can also see that it gets hard to film a 2 year old so close when he wont sit still. :)
