test 4 transfer: Our Little Monkey

(late entry for weekend of October 26-28)

We had a wonderful, fall-filled weekend. On Saturday, Andy took Christopher and I to an outlet mall in Sevierville, TN to hang out for the day and do some fun shopping. Christopher was an angel - he enjoyed alternating between riding in his stroller and walking up and down the strip, trying to open and close all the doors. The stores that had their doors propped open with a display were quite frustrating to him as he couldn't move the doors...that was pretty funny. Andy found some great dress clothes and helped me pick out a few things as my birthday gift. On the way home, we found a little out of the way restaurant in a small town, and ate some great BBQ.

Sunday, Mama fixed a wonderful curry dinner and we celebrated my and Silas' birthdays. After lunch, we took Christopher outside for his first experience with piles of fall leaves.

Playing with Babu. "Oh, this is fun!"

Feeding leaves to Aunti Anna.

Beautiful girl, silly munchkin. "Hi, Daddy. What are you doing up there?"

Then there was cake. Mmmm...there were 2 candles in the middle representing decades. Then Si's side had four singels and mine had seven singles. Mama was creative.

Sunday afternoon, we went to the church harvest party at a local farm. Christopher was a monkey.

The face of trouble.

Anna and Andy had fun taking pictures in the corn field.

After visiting the petting zoo and hearing a story about a pumpkin patch from the farm's "scarecrow," we went trunk-or-treating. People had the trunks of their cars open, and were sitting in the back passing out candy as you walked by.

Peek-a-boo. I see you.

Christopher getting his loot...of course, he was really getting it for Daddy and Mommy since he can't eat any of it.

There was a gigantic corn maze set up to walk through. Anna and I did about half of it, but it was getting late, so we had to try to skip part of it and just find the end. It was fun.
