Happy Halloween!

So Halloween came early at the Bane house hold. Mom had the day off so decided this was the best day to go trick or treating. No big surprise Devin went as The Man in the Yellow Hat. He thought it was cool to be able to pack his George around with him everywhere we went.





Made a stop at Mamaw & Papaw's House and while we were there had to stop and have a snack.

Sitting on Papaw's lap eating some really good gold fish.
Thanks to everyone for letting us stop by to trick or treat. We really had a fun time!

Meeting Curious George

So after leaving Thomas the Train we headed into St Louis. We had been wanting to take Devin to the Curious George Exhibit at the Magic House. Well it was one of those good news, bad news situations. Come to find out it was the Magic House's 30th Anniversary and they weren't charging admission all weekend, however, everyone withing a 100 mile radius of St Louis with small children were there. Needless to say it was a "tad" busy.

Meeting Curious George outside of his exhibit. He is pretty cute in real life!

Posing with one of many Curious George's!

This ought to tell you what Devin thinks about the Man in the Yellow Hat. We had lots of opportunities to meet some of his favorite characters from the books and shows. Devin Refers to him as the "hat". Think our Halloween costume should be a big hit, but you'll have to wait and find out!

THE Thomas the Tank Engine

We went to Granite City, Illinois to enjoy A Day out with Thomas. They bring in a full size Thomas the Train to give train rides and they have other fun events.
We rode upstairs in the double decker passenger car that Thomas the Tank Engine was pulling.

What a fun train ride with Mom. Enjoying the ride and listening to great Thomas the Tank Engine Music.

THE Thomas the Tank Engine.
We had a great day, considering how the weather has been the last couple of weeks.

Best part of all, we got our picture taken with Thomas.

Gator Rides

So we finally had the chance to take Devin out to the farm for him to ride his birthday gift from Mommy and Daddy. We got him a ride on JD Gator. It is super cute and he absolutely loves riding it around in Mamaw and Papaw's Yard. I would like to say "driving", but he hasn't quite master the skill of actually driving and avoiding obstacles.

By next spring we are all hoping that he is a much better driver. Right now Greg and I get our exercise running around in the yard following him and turning the steering wheel on occasion.
