365/365 Project Complete!! Happy Halloween & My little Firefighter

Whew!  I made it.  It wasn't alway pretty, but my 365 is complete!  Although, I am not going for another round, I will continue to keep up this blog and post....more on that in another post.  I am working on my photography goals for next year, reflecting on what I've learned over this 365 project, and am working on what this blog will be like in the future...I will be posting on that later this week.

To the other ladies in the 365 project who have finished...Congratulations!  I am so glad to know you will continue to be keeping your blogs and keeping in touch!

Happy Halloween!  I am so glad I got a few photos of Baby A yesterday.  Although it didn't rain, Halloween was pretty nasty out... cold with a brutal wind.  Brutal.  I am also now thankful for that crazy hood on Baby A's costume...cause he needed it!  We took Firefighter D to Dave's firehouse for some photos.  I mean, what 5 year old boy doesn't want his picture taken (especially when dressed as a fireman) with a firetruck, right?  Mine.  I think visiting Daddy at the firehouse is so common place for us, he doesn't really realize how cool it is anymore.  He told me before we even got there he was not going to sit in the truck.  And, unfortunately, with the wind, the apparatus bay (the garage for the trucks) was closed so I didn't get a nice, wide shot of him from the front, but we did document Halloween.  It happened and he was a firefighter this year.

We went for a walk to get a few photos of Baby A since it's supposed to rain tomorrow.  I think he is making peace with his costume.  I wasn't sure if he was even going to wear it, but on our walk, he didn't seem to mind.  I, however, had a super hard time getting his photo....that little one is running so much faster these days...and my camera wanted to focus on the dog hood, instead of his eyes.

362/365 The Table

If we leave the chairs pulled out, Baby A is now able to climb up to the table.  For whatever reason, he loves to sneak sips from my water. I suppose its probably just the novelty of a clear glass rather than a sippy cup...oh..and the entertainment that is ice.

359/365 Ghost Boy

I actually really dislike Halloween, scary movies, and, in general, all things creepy, but I when I saw the tutorial on CM for ghostly images I did want to try it.  D and I had a lot of fun and he was actually pretty into it.

I took D to the Lego build at Toys R Us.  The project was a Batman Bat Signal.  He was excited about going to get new Legos even though he isn't that familiar with comic characters.  After waiting our turn, going through the line to pick up his directions and pick out all his pieces, and building the project, when we got in the car he finally said, "Mommy, so what is this supposed to be?"

 And the boys in the "rocket" shopping cart at the grocery.  I love that A is old enough to enjoy this now.

351/365 Annual Pumpkin Farm Trip

Ok, so there are a ton of photos today.  This has become one of my favorite family traditions.  Baby  A loved petting the animals and I couldn't get enough of his excitement.
