Carvey

Yesterday I picked up Nathaniel from school, and his teacher told me that Nathaniel's pumpkin name was picked for their class pumpkin. I asked him what it was, and he said, "Carvey. Because it was carved."

What a creative streak! Will and I both told him how proud we were of him. He seemed quite pleased with himself.

Some more Halloween shots. Last weekend when I went to workout at the YMCA they were having a fall festival. We joined in the fun. The best parts were the balloon sword and the monster hand.

We painted pumpkins together last week.

Such a serious little painter! My sweet artist.

Our finished pumpkins.

Nathaniel's finished pumpkin. I only helped with the eyes and mouth.

These are before we went trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. I wanted one of me and my sweet boy, but he wasn't interested in posing. Obviously.

Happy Halloween from the Deckers!

Carving Pumpkins

Here we are carving our pumpkin . . . 

We roasted the pumpkin seeds.

Happy Halloween!

Pumpkin Patch

Early last Saturday morning we decided to head out to the pumpkin patch. It was beautiful fall weather and we were the first ones there.

He really wanted to pull this wagon all over the pumpkin patch.

This picture is so Nathaniel. He is Mr. Curious. If there was ever a child to stop and smell the roses (literally) it is my son. Many times we have stopped when walking somewhere to smell the flowers. I love that he takes the time to enjoy them and reminds me to be thankful for them!

Nathaniel picked out a bumpy pumpkin for himself. He has always liked them, even was a baby. 

In fact, here are some pictures from 2 years ago.

Can you believe it? Nice to look back and be reminded of what a sweet, happy baby he was.
