Jones Family: November 2010

New Furniture . . . Again

So yes, I know how ridiculous we are, but we bought new furniture again. Eddy didn't like his chair so we ended up with new leather couches. They recline and are pretty nice. Haven't got the room arranged exactly right yet, but you can atleast see what they look like. And oh - how I love craigs list! I've already got some hits to sell our old stuff and it's only been 1/2 hour!!

Trick or Treat

This year, Grandpa Jones came and took Dylan trick-or-treating on Friday at a local business. He got lots of good stuff! THen on Saturday, my friend, Amanda and her family came over to trick or treat. Dylan is good friends with her little boy, Preston, and her daughter, Audrey. We went all over the neighborhood and they had fun. Dylan didn't want to wear his mask, so he basically went without a costume this year. Oh well. The boys fought over who got to ring each doorbell. Then we came back to the house and sorted candy. It actually was a fairly warm experience this year - which is unusual. Usually it's freezing or snowing. So it was a fun night overall! Then on Sunday, it was actually Halloween (but no one around here celebrates on Sunday), and it was also Eddy's birthday. So we went out to eat at Texas Roadhouse and then just came home and watched a movie. It was fun!

Pumpkin Carving

This year, Dylan actually helped clean out the pumpkins! And Eddy actually used his dremel tool to do some creative work on his!

Halloween Party!

Dylan had a fun Halloween party at pre-school! I helped out with one of the stations - cookie decorating! The kids frosted and sprinkled and then ate their creation. Here are some pics - Dylan is the brown werewolf. His teacher, Miss Joan, dressed up as a ladybug. Miss Jana is the one teaching them! Dylan and a girl at his table were fighting over the crayons - I guess this is a usual thing.

Fall colors

We took another hike up to Cress Creek just as the trees were changing! It was so pretty! Here are some of the pics! As we were leaving, Eddy found this little lizard for Dylan. We brought it home and let it go free in our backyard tree. He was a cutie!

4 Wheeler!

Dylan has been saving money in his piggy bank for a long time , so we cashed it in (and added some) to get him this 4-wheeler. He loves it! He figured out how to drive it really quick and loves riding all over the backyard. He thinks he's hot stuff! It has 2 speeds and a reverse. So far, only 1 raspberry bush has been broken! ha!
