Halloween 2010

Joseph had a full on Halloween this year.  Along with the normal carving pumpkins and trick-or-treating (well trunk-or-treating) we took him to a costume party and the daycare put on a full week of celebrations.  We didn't get to do quite everything we wanted to though thanks to all of us getting sick.  I really hoped we could have made it to the Dia de los Muertos celebration in Mesilla, hopefully we are able to go next year.

The idea was suppose to be "Tarzan, Jane and their monkey"... may be Todd will dress up next year.

Next year I'm going to have to do a better job decorating the trunk.

He does this cute teethy grin whenever you ask to see his teeth.

We let him paint his pumpkin since he obviously can't carve, or even draw a face on it yet.

 The daycare had a different theme each day this week.  One day was pajama day, another crazy hair day, ext.

Today we went for a ride and found this crazy cactus.  It feels odd to be wearing shorts and t-shirts still, it's kind-of throwing off my sense of time.

Lots of random stuff

I can't believe I'm already getting behind on this blog- it will probably be Christmas by the time I get around to adding my Utah visit- Oh well.

On  our way home from Hueco Tanks today we saw Thunderbirds performing in an airshow- Todd promised to take me and Joseph to an airshow next year, I'm excited already. 

Todd has been taking more pictures lately.

This is my favorite, I'm not sure it's going to show up correctly on here though.

 Last weekend Kristen took me and Joseph to the farmer's market since Todd and her boyfriend were gone to the Rocky Mountain Rendezvous.

 I also got the fall decorations out while Todd was gone, since he loves them so much.

I love bugs and this one was just too cool to not take a picture of.

His shirt says "I love Dirt"

We went to Heuco Tanks again today- they were having an interpretive fair this weekend and once we got there we realized the stuff we wanted to see, like the dancing and storytelling, was yesterday- we'll plan better next year.  It wasn't a waste though Todd got to climb a little.

Yesterday we went back to the Outlets, mainly to buy me work clothes but of course it was more fun to shop for Joseph.  We found him a really cute jean jacket, and shoes.  I started my job this week.  So far I'm just studying for the state licensing exam from home, so I don't need my entire work wardrobe yet but I only need a few more things so I'm not stressing over it.

Update

Things just seem to be getting better and better!  Joseph is getting more comfortable with daycare every time.  Today I was able to set him on the floor and say good bye, without him getting upset.  I also finally found out today that I got the job I was hoping for, well as long as everything goes according to plan.  I'm actually really excited but I'm being a little paranoid that it's not going to work out so I don't want to say too much about it.  And Todd already has two interviews lined up for the Rocky Mountain Rendezvous ( it's a huge geology career fair in Wyoming)- and the best part is that one of the two companies is one that's been on the top of his list of companies he'd like to work for!  I've always told Todd that things just seem to work out for me, so to stick by me.

Josephs daycare art

I decided to get creative with art projects for Joseph this week, unfortunately I realized while shopping that he's not quite old enough to get too creative so we just ended up getting fingerpaints- Oh well at least it's something different from our normal crayons and chalk.  The daycare actually lets them use markers.  When I was picking him up one day he had just started this project, so I just stayed out of sight and watched the chaos the teachers got to endure.
