Grandpa Sykes got us an early Christmas gift of Blizzack snow tires for our car. Will came with us to the Firestone to watch them get put on. He was really excited. 
He had a lot of fun in the waiting area where all the wheels and tires were on display.
Will really likes the Cars movie and characters right now.
Will's cousins Jack and Jamie were there:Thanks to the kids who made it out to the party. Thanks to the parents. And thanks for all the great birthday gifts!
No beads?!?! He must have learned this from Mom.
Mom gets his attention to ask him to lower his shirt:
To be fair to Will, the Librarian does give fun colored stamps on everyone's belly at the end of storytime.
Will started out just banging on it wildly, like he does with his drum set at home, but once he found the buttons he got really serious. Thanks Marianne and Feelix! 
He especially liked the tail, and he got lots of chances to wear it.

Friday for Dad's work Halloween Party:
This is Dad's friend from work Karl, and his son Theo:
And he wore it Saturday on Halloween Night:
First we went to the neighborhood shops that gave out candy:
Where we met our friend Roman:
That's also where Will ate his first piece of candy: 
There was a big inflatable Jack-o-lantern there that Will liked: 
After that we hit some neighbor's houses:
We spent the rest of the night giving candy out to older kids that came to the door. This is Will's little pumpkin out on the porch:
He even figured out how to put the track together.
Will has not yet grasped the idea of a loop that the train can follow, but he is very creative with his layout.
Today we took Will out to get his very own pumpkin at Lake View Farms in North Plains. The trip from the car starts with a train ride out to the pumpkin patch!
Will quickly found the perfect pumpkin just his size.
He even insisted on carrying it around himself.
There is a hay bale maze just his size as well.
You return to the parking area by train, or by boat. Here we are waiting for the boat with our pumpkins.
The boat ride has some suprise halloween tricks. There is a pirate ship and a fake shark and dragon that pop up out of the water when you go by.
We all had a really fun morning!
Will picked the red Lexus chair:

It was a little rough at first, but he settled down:
