Keegan's New Room and the Pumpkin Farm

This past week we moved Keegan into his new room. It took a lot of work from Mommy and Daddy, but we finished and he is moved in. Now we just have to refinish the rest of the upstairs! I think he will like his new room, but since he is very go with the flow he doesn't really show either way. There is a lot more room for him to play and especially as moves up in bed size, he will need the room. It's not decorated or anything yet, but below is a short video panning the room. I'm not sure how many of you remember, but the floors were green carpet when we moved in. Then we tore up the carpet to find red-painted and dark-stained (yes, both) hardwood floors. The original 85+ year old floors. Pretty awesome. As you can tell, I'm excited about them. He is still in his crib for now, but usually plays with his bear if he wakes up before we do. We are looking for a toddler bed, but aren't really in a hurry since he doesn't seem interested in climbing out of his crib (*knock* *knock*).

Enough with that and on to the real reason you are here. We took a visit to Rouster's orchard and Shaw farm today to get some pumpkins, take a hayride, and, most importantly, run around and be silly. I believe we accomplished all three quite well. In addition to Keegan, Suzanne and me, Grandma and Grandpa Shary, Uncle Steve, Nana Boyle, and Aunt Krista came along for the pumpkin picking fun. We were also joined for the hayride by Uncle Brent, Aunt Sara, Caleb, Alex and Elly.

Keegan did manage to pick out a pumpkin between laps around the piles of pumpkins. There were so many playhouses set up around the pumpkins he had to try to get to them all. His favorite thing, though, was the tractor that was dropping off a load of pumpkins. He always went back to old faithful and had he been able would have driven it off. He also got to run around in the mud a little bit trying to get at the chickens, which never makes little boys sad. We needed some helping getting the pumpkins in the cart and then pulling it around so it is a good thing we had Keegan with us. There is a viseo at the bottom of him helping out! Keegan had such a good time he fell asleep on the ride home, half eaten apple resting on his lap. It was a great day and we are almost ready for Halloween. We just have to decide what Keegan is going to be!

Now these are pumpkins!

If at any time you need to find the tractor, look where Keegan is looking
