I'll start earlier in the week with some of the silly things Donovan has been doing and saying. He has this habit of taking off his pajamas by himself, and one morning when I told him to put his pants back on he did.
Whenever Donovan sees a tool, he says, "fix it" (it sounds like "fik it"). His car was broken so he had to find Daddy's screwdriver to fix it. 
The drummers from the marching band were nice enough to show up at the guys game against Marshalltown (HUGE rivalry for those who don't know). At halftime Donovan had to go down there and check it out. One of them let him borrow some drumsticks and he was in heaven! He was so excited to play on the big drums. 
Being the horribly mean mother I am, I made him stop and go home because it was freezing and we weren't dressed warmly enough. He was extremely upset to leave those drums!
On Friday, we had our ward trunk or treat. It was a lot of fun, Donovan had a blast running around and getting candy.
We had Hannah take some family pictures for us yesterday and they turned out pretty cute. I won't post all of them until later.
After pictures we headed over to the pumpkin patch to get our pumpkins. We came away with a greater knowledge of bees, honey, and different types of squash/pumpkins. We really like the owner of the pumpkin patch, he's a nice guy. They sell all kinds of produce and honey all throughout the year. Now that we have a place to buy peaches and apples for $.75/lb and raw honey, I think we will be spending more time there.

We ate some pizza and started carving.
Getting tired watching Daddy.
He wasn't great at scooping out the pulp, but I think he had fun.
Mine is the face, his and Brad's is the ghost. I'm glad we were able to do some fun stuff with Bradley before he gets really busy and is gone every weekend. It was nice to spend some time together, just the three of us!
Donovan is getting much better at saying names. We have been looking at pictures a lot lately and he consistently remembers Rachel, Granny, Grandma, and both Papa's, but sometimes he gets Papa Silvey and Granny mixed up...he sometimes calls Papa, Granny. He usually remembers Colin, always Mason and Addi and we are working on the rest!

Fun to see everyone having fun. Where did Donovan learn to box like that? I bet he was so mad at you for making him leave the big drum and sticks behind! He talks really plain. Glad Bradley had time to be with you for the weekend. I thought David was taking family pictures, what happened? I think Hannah took some cute ones......just curious.
Love love LOVE your hair in the new pics!!!
Gotta love the both legs in one leg hole look! Donavon looks cute in his halloween costume! I swear October is just a month of lots of fun stuff
Tia-I wanted David to do them, but I am a wimp and didn't call him. So we borrowed Lenna and Scott's nicer camera and Hannah did them!
I'm trying to get Nate to ask a friend in our ward to take some pictures for us--because I don't want to ask him myself. I'm a wimp too. Donovan is a good boxer. He must have picked up the moves from his dad. I liked watching the kids going crazy at the trunk or treat. Mason is working that Wolverine costume. And if D-van needs another car to fix he's welcome to try his hand at the Taurus. No one else wants to mess with it.
Cute family pic, but I must say, a man should do lots of things to make his wife happy, but matching shirts for pictures? That's going too far. Cute hair, though. Tyler thought Brad was with another woman when he first saw the picture.
That sure was an early Halloween party. What's the deal? We might as well celebrate everything on January 1st and get it all over with, as early as they start celebrating things anymore.
