Happy Halloween!

Despite the cool weather, Kenton enjoyed a trip to the playground at Carolina Beach. The slide was definitely his favorite.

We spent last week vacationing in Carolina Beach and Wilmington, NC. Despite the record-breaking low temperatures, we had a great visit. Kenton was a pretty good traveler. Here we were strolling along the riverwalk in beautiful downtown Wilmington.

Cloth napkins are not only cheaper and more environmentally friendly than paper ones, they're also much better for playing peek-a-boo during dinner.

Both my boys are under the weather today. Kenton has a snotty nose and a fever and Edward is still battling kidney stones. Kenton hollered for his daddy all morning while Edward was gone to the doctor and then wouldn't leave him alone once he got home. Kenton isn't usually one for cuddling, but when he isn't feeling well he wants to be held. I was okay when dad wasn't around, but as soon as Edward was home that's who he wanted to be with. He sure loves his daddy.

Kenton is a busy boy with lots of important phone calls to make. Or so you would think if you saw him walking around our house lately. His favorite "toy" lately is our cordless phone, which he carries around the house constantly, pushing buttons and jabbering. We're probably going to end up with a huge charge on our phone bill for a call to some country we've never heard of. But he's so cute walking and talking that we let him do it anyway. Not that he's spoiled or anything. .

Grandpa and Nana came to visit over the weekend and did a great job of spoiling Kenton while they were here. Grandpa read several stories to Kenton on Saturday afternoon.

Kenton is very interested in shoes, socks, and feet lately. Today when I came home from work and was changing into my socks and sneakers to take a walk, he yelled "shoe" and grabbed my socks and tried to put them on his feet. When he tried to steal his daddy''s shoes as he was putting them on, Edward just decided to help him try them on. He thought he was cool wearing the big shoes.

Playing in the fall leaves, south Georgia style

Kenton had his first real haircut today. Edward has been wanting to get it cut for months now, but I've been holding out. Today at lunch I told him even I had to admit the time had come, since Kenton's hair was starting to look like Donald Trump's. It was really getting out of control. So, they went this afternoon and Kenton now has big boy hair--no more sweet little curls in the back. He looks so grown up. He's getting pretty good at walking, too. My baby's growing up.

Boy wonder figured out how to get into my craft cabinet last night. He didn't do too much damage--was content to open and close the doors and look around. We need to find the missing doorknob and buy another child lock, though. I think he looks so big in this picture, wearing his t-shirt and blue jeans. We had a little fall weather and got to wear pants for a couple of days, but temps are back up in the 90s today. We don't get much fall in south Georgia!
