Getting ready for a ride last Friday, somebody (who had been exploring the garage) decided he needed a toy. He even said "ball" so I let him bring it. It was really fun for two minutes until he kept dropping it and wanting it back. Turns out balls roll in moving cars.
It being October and all, we decided to get some pumpkins. Nathan didn't care so much about them. I mean, they were neat and all, but guys, have you seen this wagon? It has wheels and moves when you push it. This is the coolest thing ever. He didn't get the hang of pulling it by the handle, but pushed the wagon from the back while dad steered. So, bringing pumpkins home, not so much. But he really objected to leaving this cool wagon at the produce stand. I guess I'll have to keep that in mind for Christmas.
Also on Friday, we bought him this cowboy hat for his Halloween costume. He loved it in the store. He did not love it on Saturday when he was actually supposed to wear it. But, hatless cowboy or not, he did win the first cupcake in the cupcake walk at our family Halloween party.
And that's pretty much been October for us so far. Currently we are all recovered from our bouts with a stomach bug (which got me out of both speaking in church and accompanying the sacrament meeting's musical number, conveniently), so things are looking up. Let me just go clean up the potted plant mess that was Nathan's latest exploit. We're having a battle of wills this week that usually devolves into humongo tantrums. Two kids? What was I thinking?

That really was convenient wasn't it? I'm glad your feeling better :)
He's growing up fast, lets see if all the Barton kids remember who I am in a year.
