Trick or Treat

Max dressed up as a chicken for halloween. He even got to go out "trick or treating". We went to our building's lobby and our sister building's lobby.

Here he is getting ready to head out the door


And here is a close up of the little chicken

Pumpkin Patch

We finally got round to a pumpkin patch so Max could pick out the perfect pumpkin for his first halloween. Once we arrived we Carrie found us a a cart but it didn't have a back so after looking around for a bit we decided to take one that someone had left alone for too long. We loaded Max in the cart and away we went.

They have some hay bails set aside so that you can take photos. We decided that we would indulge in the picture taking and snapped off this photo of my boy and my girl.
Then we took a break from the photo shoot and played a game of throw Max in the air. I really didn't think I was putting him that high in the air until I looked through the pictures on the camera. We play this game inside but are limited to the ceiling height, it was nice to get outside and play. I reckon I could put him up a good 4 meters (with practice)
After our game is was back to the seriousness of picture taking and Carrie took this pic of Max and Me.
Lastly Carrie shot some pics of Max playing in the hay.
As we carted Max around we decided to load the trolly up with pumpkins. I put one in there that had a bit of a rotten spot. Carrie said Max would get into that, I said no he won't. I was wrong. Just as soon as he was in the cart his hand went straight into the rancid spot.
And that was our day (read hour) at the Southbrook Pumpkin Patch.

new hat

Yesterday Max made his first trip the the USA. We had to drop Dad off at the airport and Mom at her hotel. While we were in the US we decided to do a bit of shopping and Grandma and Grandpa bought Max a new hat. He looks so cute in it I thought I would share.

Max and the Grands

I just wanted to post a picture of Grandma and Grandpa with Max. It was wonderful having Mom and Dad here and I know Max loved it.

Science Museum

Today we took Dad to the Science Museum in an effort to keep him from getting board. I know some of you are saying that going to the Science Museum would be a sure way to bore you not excite you. Anyway we saw a photo opportunity for Max and me so we took it, (then did a little photoshoping) and here it is.
