meeska mooska mickey mouse!

If you haven't already heard or noticed, Isaiah has become quite a fan of mickey mouse. Actually, he loves anything Disney! Yes Leith and I have memorized all the mickey mouse clubhouse songs and find ourselves singing them throughout the day even when Isaiah is not watching the show. So when trying to decide what Isaiah would be for halloween this year it wasn't very difficult. We were torn between Woody from Toy Story and Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse won mostly because it was an easier costume for me to make. Isaiah already had red shorts and a black shirt so I got him some black tights (he's very confident with his manhood), sewed white felt circles on his shorts, and made yellow covers for his shoes. My friend Sara helped me alot with the shoe covers since I'm new to the art of sewing. Thanks Sara! We topped it off with mickey ears and some eyeliner for a nose and Isaiah turned out to be the cutest Mickey ever! He passed out candy for a couple hours and was so excited every time the doorbell rang. Minnie Mouse showed up at one point and he made sure to give her a hug :) Our friends the Girards came over for dinner which made for a fun and relaxing evening. All in all it was a Happy Halloween!

pumpkin patch

Last weekend we went to a pumpkin patch in Irvine called Tanaka Farms with our best friends the Girards and the Bodziaks. I had no idea there was a huge farm in the middle of Irvine...who knew! We were only there for an hour or so because it was so HOT! Only in California do you wear shorts and a tank top to a pumpkin patch in October :)
The farm offered a huge variety of pumpkins to choose from as well as a trailor ride around the farm, corn maze, and animal petting zoo. We only partook in the pumpkin picking due to the ridiculous heat. Isaiah and Morgan (the Bodziaks 11 month old daugher) stumbled around the pumpkins somewhat confused about what was going on. We chose our pumpkins and called it a day. It was a nice way to start of the holiday season! Check out some pics from the day below....
