Trick or Treat!

We took Maxwell to Westerville, OH to trick or treat with my cousin's daughter Katarina, the Policewoman as well as Baby Tigger Luke. She showed him the ropes, and by three houses in, Maxwell was demanding candy like a veteran.

Midwest week.

With a big football game, an election and no travel back to the midwest scheduled until at least Christmas, we took Maxwell back for a tour of the heartland.

With the Mysers heading out of town soon, our play group had a pre-emptive Halloween Party for the kiddies. OK, for the parents:

Pumpkin picking with Bradley Babies.

We had our latest reunion with the Bradley Babies, the kids of all the parents in our Bradley class. This Saturday, it was an outing at a local farm market/pumpkin patch/apple orchard. The babies are getting to be active little boys and girls. Quite a change from last year.

Anywho, here's the crew of Vladek, Gretchen, Wolfgang and Maxwell:

Go Buckeeez!

Maxwell's getting into the football spirit, and he loves his Brutus Buckeye. He says "Go Buckeeez!" He's close. And the other morning, we were watching College Gameday and that Home Depot commercial came on with all the mascots. When Brutus came on, strapped to the top of the car, he yelled "Buckeee!"

Sand/water table!

Dad splurged on a sand/water table, hopefully perfect for the fall. Maxwell enjoys it, but enjoys yelling "Shovels!" more. Oh, and dad's only run over it once. Don't ask.

The shore.

Who says the jersey shore isn't fun in the fall?
