Autumn and Pumpkins

We started decorating for Fall! Joe loves pumpkins. He had a great time putting the faces on these guys! He calls them "Happy Pumpkins".

A New hiding Place

Joe's been having a blast surprising us lately. And he loves finding new places to hide so he can pop out and yell "Surprise!". His newest hiding spot is in the tupperware cupboard. He found that he fits in there perfectly if he moved around a few plastic bowls...

Another Carnival

We went to a little carnival across the street from Great-Grandma's house. Joe had fun on the cars and going fishing and even won himself a little prize!

Trip to the Apple Orchard in Stillwater, MN

Joe rode on the kiddie tractors...

and he fed the billy goat with Grandma...

while Great Grandma and Aunt Susie ate all the kettle corn!

Eeyore Joe

Joe's favorite stuffed animal is his little Eeyore. His name is Buddy. Joe loves Buddy so much he wanted to be just like him! We found this little costume, and Joe even has a different voice when he's wearing it! He loves having long ears and a tail. What a goofball.

Chef Joe

Joe LOVES to help cook! And he loves making pizza! He made this pizza almost all by himself. It was really yummy.

Rain, rain...

It was pouring rain yesterday after work, so we took advantage of the big puddles in our driveway to have some fun! Joe thinks it's most fun to play with the snow shovel in the puddles. And at one point, he was standing ankle deep, he looked up at me and said, "Swim?". Haha! What a sillly head.

Labor Day Threshing Bee

Joe had so much fun looking at all the tractors at the Threshing Bee in Edgerton, WI on Labor Day. We took a ride on a real train that ran on coal, ate homemade ice cream, and it was very HOT!

Labor Day Weekend Picnic

We had a picnic at a park in Middleton on Saturday. Joe loved eating outside, but I think he loved swinging even more!
