Fall Carnival

Tuesday night we had our fall carnival at school. Keagan had a lot of fun. He wore his costume for about 45 minutes. This is a big improvement from last year. He didn't like wearing the ears and trunk on his head. When we took those off, he was fine.

Playing in my room.

Doing the cake walk. He tried this and the pie walk several times but never won. He really wanted a pie ( I really don't know why). He did win at the cookie walk.

Decorating a cookie.

Going fishing. He wasn't sure about it the first time. He didn't want to hold the pole. After he finally held it, he didn't want to let go. We went back and did this 3 or 4 times.

Doing the duck pond. This was after he had had enough of his costume.

There was also a "kid friendly" spook house. I didn't think he would like it, but he did. We walked through it 3 or 4 times too. I am hoping he will leave his costume on better tomorrow night when we go trick or treating. I will post pictures from tomorrow night in a few days.

An Artist in the Making

One night at church Keagan painted in the nursery. He really enjoyed it and kept asking me to get him some paints. I told him we would get him some when we went to the store. Last weekend when we were in Abilene, we went to Target and I got him some. Monday when we got home from school the first thing he wanted to do was paint. He did better than some of my kids at school with not mixing the colors together.

Getting his paintbrush wet.

Choosing a color.

Working so hard.

He said his paintbrush looked like a spider.

The finished work. When we painted his name he told me what color he wanted to use for each letter. When it came to my name and Cecil's name, he just wanted one color.

Weekend in Abilene

Saturday morning we took Keagan to the zoo. The weather was perfect. It never got hot the whole time we were there.

Checking out the monkeys.

Keagan fell and skinned his head at the zoo. I tried getting a picture of it, but I couldn't get it to turn out with or without the flash on.

Going for a ride at the mall. He is bare footed because we were there looking for him some new shoes. He had been trying on shoes and I was tired of putting his shoes back on-it was a hassel because they were too small.

The Circus

Last week we took Keagan to the circus. I was very disappointed-it was not good. Keagan enjoyed it, so I guess that is all that matters. He was upset that there were no tigers. We only stayed for the first half so we could make it to church for the last night of our revival. The second half may have been better.

You gotta have cotton candy at the circus. Keagan did not like it.

Riding on the pony.

Keagan loved the dogs. I think they were his favorite.

He liked the elephant too. I tried to get him to ride it, but he didn't want to until it was time for us to go.

Trying to get a picture of my boys.

Cecil had to hold his hands back.

Pumpkin Patch

After Bryce's party we took Keagan to the pumpkin patch. He fell asleep on the way so he was a little grouchy when we got there, but after a little bit, he was fine.

There was a lady who was painting on pumpkins. Of course, Keagan had to have one with a tractor.

We took Keagan to the circus last night. I will post pictures soon. We are also going to Abilene this weekend so I am sure I will have more pictures when we get back.

Bryce's Party

Our nephew Bryce had a birthday party last Saturday. Keagan had a lot of fun.

Bryce's Birthday

Ice Water

The other night Keagan said he wanted some ice water. I was doing some laundry and told him I would get him some in a minute. The next thing I know he has a cup with water. He had gotten it out of the refrigerator by himself. Last night before we left to eat I was able to get a picture of him doing it. He is not able to get ice yet, but I bet it won't be long. I asked him who taught him how to get the water and he said "myself".

Almost too short to reach.

Getting some water.

Mmmm good.

He thinks he is funny.

Dad's Socks

When Cecil is getting dressed, Keagan likes to take hide his socks. The other morning he took Cecil's socks and put them on. He put them on and got them pulled up most of the way by himself.

Pulling it up.

Almost got it.

So cute.
