There's a pumpkin shortage ?!?

We've heard there is a shortage of pumpkins because the hurricane hit just as they needed to be harvested, and many pumpkins rotted in the field. So, we decided to get ours early while the selection was still good. In fact, there were many fewer pumpkins!

We have a super farm nearby that has a variety of different pumpkins, and Max was very excited to choose a white one this year!

These were also very cool, but a bit too big to carry!

Trying new things

Josie tried her first bouncy castle this weekend. She was content to sit and let the bigger kids bounce the floor for her, but she did NOT want to come out when her turn was done!

She has also been a real fiend for puzzles.

New Schools!

Max has started Pre-K and Josie has transferred to his new school to attend one of their Toddler classes. Starting at a new school has been rough, but they are making friends and enjoying the new challenges. The new school has a drinking fountain, which has been lots of fun to master, for example.
They still love to be together (most of the time) so the fact that they can see each other during the day is pretty nice.

Josie has a huge vocabulary, especially when it comes to getting what she wants. "I want the purple pom-pom!" There is some balance with her demands and she will usually then say please and thank you, too.
