Halloween 2009

Technically we had an extended Halloween of sorts...pumpkin carving on the 16th, ward party on the 24th, trick-or-treating on the 29th, and Boo at the Zoo today. Phew! That's a lot of Halloween.

Apples and Punkins

Saturday morning we took Kiffer to pick some apples (canning applesauce this week). I'm not sure if he enjoyed picking them, but he did enjoy taste-testing quite a few! Wish we'd been able to do this at Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa's house this year. (We miss you!)

Punkins weren't too great (and terribly expensive)...but he enjoyed sitting on the biggest ones he could find and running through the patch.

It's finally FALL!

Waffles and Popples

Steve made waffles this morning (as it's "pajama Sunday"). Apparently Kiffer has some trouble with the "f" and "th" sounds. So, he calls waffles, "popples". Hysterical!

Yes, we're working on the pronunciation issue...but in the meantime it's just fun to hear him create his words.

This is not the first time I've thought about Popples this week....loved mine. He/she was white with brightly colored features and I loved that he/she rolled up. Still wasn't as cool as my Pound Puppy, though!
