Caps games and pumpkin patches

After a ton of debate and stressful worrying that I was going to forever destroy Dylan's hearing, we decided to take him to a Caps game with us. He loved all of the National's games, so we figured it was worth a shot. Armed with some giant noise eliminating headphones that we assumed there was no chance Dylan would keep on his head, we headed to the game. He ended up LOVING it! He wore the headphones for most of the game, we made sure they were on when it looked like there was any chance of the Caps scoring (I didn't want the horn to scare him).





Dylan's second hockey game was even more fun! Mary invited us to the game and we sat in box seats that she got for the evening. After a delicious dinner at Elephant and Castle, we headed to our amazing seats! Dylan definitely had more fun at this game being able to see everything MUCH closer up.

Yay Caps! Trying to clap because everyone else is

Is it wrong to put tattoos on a baby? haha

So much red!!


Dylan's already got his game face down

Daddy's distracting him, but a great view of the tattoos
... If only he knew what was on his face!

Wide eyed and loving life.



With Halloween coming up, we had to take advantage of the great photo op that pumpkin's create! We happened to have a pumpkin costume lying around, and since he is going to be a dinosaur for Halloween, we had to put it to good use!! We took Dylan to the Burke Center Nursery to play with pumpkins and buy some yummy treats. Dylan loved the pumpkins, and all the dirt and grass on the ground. He plays in the pumpkins touching and banging on them all, trying to get the attention of everyone around him. I think he already knows he's cute and wants to make sure everyone else acknowledges! haha, here's a few of the tons of pics we took!


Angry face... he was not pleased that he was picked up!
and he's not letting go of the pumpkin he chose!!

Moving.

Over this past weekend we packed up a baby, a puppy, and an overfilled two bedroom apartment in Arlington and moved it to a townhouse in Springfield. Moving has to be one of the most annoying and frustrating, not to mention exhausting, activities ever. Luckily we had help from family and some friends, there's no way we could have done it on our own. The townhouse is really cute, though it definitely has its flaws. The carpets are kinda old and the basement is tiled. The owner is STILL doing work on it even though he made us start the lease on 10/1, which is annoying, but the rent is way less expensive then a lot of comparable places, so I'm trying not to complain too much. I've also realized that the only thing worse than packing and moving is unpacking and reorganizing all of our stuff. I feel like this is a never ending project. I really want everything put away so I can start decorating. Anyway, we don't have internet until the 12th (stupid fios) so that's probably when I will post some pictures!!
