Halloween, Hunting, Snow

You know it's bad when I'm writing about Halloween in December.  Instead of apologizing at the beginning of every post that I suck at doing this blog thing on a regular basis, just know that I am not good at doing this on a regular basis. :)


Halloween

Cole was a puppy for Halloween.  And a darn cute one at that!  Rather than trick-or-treating in the cold, we went to a local church who puts on a huge event.  They had everything there!!  Even live animals!  It was a ton of fun and afterward, Cole had the biggest sugar rush ever!  It was pretty hilarious.

Hunting

Ben went hunting several times this year and finally got the biggest deer he's ever gotten in his hunting career - a 10-point buck!  I always find it exciting to get the  breathless phone call and to hear the child-like excitement in Ben's voice.  And now we have ground meat to last us quite a while!

 I was a little nervous about Cole seeing the buck dead.  Ben has been showing him a lot of pictures of bucks, so he's come to really like looking at them.  Well, Cole was excited to see the buck and grabbed right on to the antlers and pet the fur!  However, he seems to have a little insight as he said, "Buck....uh, oh!" :)

Snow

And not that long ago, we got our first snow (today we got our third!).  We were excited to take Cole out because he never played in the snow last year and wouldn't remember it.  He wasn't to excited...he was annoyed because it was hard to move in his gear and in the snow.  And it was kind of windy, so he wasn't too happy that the snow was blowing in his face.  But in any even, we got some cute pictures and he now LOVES snowmen!

The next snow storm started with ice and when we went outside to run errands, Cole slipped and got his pants wet.  We were trying to hurry so we thought we could just do a quick change and we ended up laughing at our cute little skinny legged boy.  Love!
