Late October brought extremely mild and beautiful weather to Norman. The weekend before Halloween, I ran the Monster Dash 5K. Jon's still injured, so he watched Conan so I could run sans stroller. Participants were encouraged to dress up and afterward, they had a costume contest. Awards were given for the top 3 individual and group costumes. We decided to pull out our "old faithfuls" from the costume bin, and went with Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf. To include Conan with our theme, we made him the woodsman who saves Red at the end. We managed to pull out 1st place and were even featured in the Norman newspaper. How's that for only living in Norman for 3 months?!

The next week, I visited the TG Farms pumpkin patch with a moms group from church. It provided the perfect photo op for Conan's 6 month picture. How is it possible he's already half a year?!

We were so excited to have our first Halloween back in the States in over 6 years! Jon had so much fun decorating the outside of the house with jack-o-lanterns, ghosts and skeleton bones. On Halloween, he dressed up and enjoyed passing out candy to all the kiddos. Though Conan was in bed before the trick-or-treaters came by, he did pose for a pic in the Jon-crafted costume made especially for him. Though it's a bit lopsided, Jon did an outstanding job making this costume free hand. He puts me to shame in the crafty department!

Fall in OK is absolutely beautiful with the array of colors in the changing trees. As our backyard is full of trees, it's such a lovely time of year at the house. We took a couple pics of the backyard to capture this beauty and our growing boy.
