Halloween



Micah dressed up as a giraffe for Halloween this year. One neighbor asked him, "Did you fall off of Noah's ark?" He replied, "No. I just dressed up this way!" We had a great time trick-or-treating, going to the pumpkin patch where he learned to call pigs during the pig races, and carving our pumpkin!

Micah had a pumpkin hunt at his preschool last week, and it was cold! He found the "perfect" pumpkin!

Lowe's Build and Grow


Lowe's has these clinics called "build and grow" where you go and get to make really cool stuff! The first one we went to we built a firetruck. Micah LOVED the hammer that was just his size. Check out his tongue in these pics - he was working hard!

Snake!

Unfortunately, we have several snakes that live around our house, so Micah is always telling me that he'll "get them" for me. He's got a plan about how he'll get the shovel and whack them until they are dead, just like his dad. Well, we were at my mom and dad's when I thought I saw a big worm - wrong - it was a little snake! So, Micah hauled himself out to the shed, grabbed the shovel and proceeded to kill his very first snake! It's in the corner of the shovel in case you missed it. He couldn't have been more proud of himself! (and neither could I!) His cousin Carter doesn't look so sure!

First Day of Preschool!

 
 You can see by the second picture how excited Micah was to start preschool this past week! :)  He was a little nervous, but did great.  He has one teacher that he also had last year, so that helps the transition.  On the way to the school I asked him what he wanted me to pray for while he was there and he said, "That I won't hate it and that I can obey."  Nothing like getting to the point!

"Fish hair"

 
 We have been on the go so much that cutting Micah's hair hasn't been a top priority....so he told us that he wanted "fish hair" (a mohawk to us).  We had been fishing and the crappie we caught had fins on their backs like mohawks, hence the fish hair!

Grandma's Mowing Crew

 Micah had the most fun at harvest - he rode the combine, the grain cart, the cemi, and most importantly, Grandma's mower!  He was steering while Carter was running the gas - who could ask for more? :)
