Dead End at Terror Terrace!

Today we went with Kate & Ben to Wilson Farms Spooky Hayride! It was great. The ride itself was only a few minutes but then we got to wander around the farm and the store. The only bad thing was a noise-activated scary spider that dropped down from the roof of the store, which made Clement cry, but seeing about a million chickens and some pigs made him perk up.

                      He loved standing on the bed of the tractor while it sped around the field.

Spooky Skeleton cow!

                     After you get off the ride they give everyone an apple!  Clement ate most of his all by himself.

Then we wandered around and looked at the spooky decorations and many, many pumpkins.

 I went back to work full time two weeks ago.  This is bittersweet, because I miss seeing the funny stuff Clem gets up to during the day, but it's also nice to talk to a bunch of adults again and ride my bike to and fro. The bike path along the river to work is a real pleasure, and I can't wait for our bike trailer to come in so I can introduce Clem to the wide world of cycling.

Still, even being at work a lot, when I'm home I get to see some good stuff like this, which incorporates both Clements newfound love of bananas and making funny noises.

John is taking care of Clement these days, and brightens my day by sending me pictures like this one:

And this one, where he insisted on wearing his airplane bib to do his other favorite task, sweeping the floor:

Clement contemplates his new digs. I have not really thought about curtains yet so he has towels on his windows - at least they match, and they are great for room darkening during naptimes.

The day before we moved, John & Dave fixed the bathroom door so it would open the right way.  Works great!

We've moved!

It's finally happened - we moved upstairs! And the first cookies were baked in the new oven, as you can see. We had a deadline of yesterday since the electrician was coming to start re-wiring the downstairs apartment, so we simply had to be out. There was a massive push this weekend to get as much done as possible: painting, door alteration, and cleaning, and we got enough done to get upstairs. Also hired movers to do the big stuff - which was the best decision ever. The place is a total mess (I had to spend 20 minutes moving stuff to take this photo) so will post more pictures as we get organized, plus action shots of the weekend. Many thanks to everyone who helped out!
