Orange is for October

Like Picasso with his Blue Period, Ethan is in his Orange Period. You see, Ethan has been into coloring recently and it seems that his artwork is only done in the color orange. We didn't notice it at first, but after a couple times it seemed that anytime we handed a fistful of crayons to Ethan he would carefully pick out the orange ones. Orange, yellow orange and red orange to be exact. If you give him options between green, brown, red and purple he'll take red because it's a closer color to orange, though you can tell it's not what he really wants. What can we say, the boy knows what he likes.

Proof of Ethan's love for orange crayons.

Working on his Muno masterpiece.

Lastly, Ethan enjoying some real orange stuff outside. Ah, I love fall.

I swear our kids are destined to be BFFs. Sam started coloring recently, too, and loves it! Although he isn't quite as particular about the color. That's too funny.

Orange you glad he doesn't like pink? I kill me, I really do. I love the fall, and it's cool that you actually get one. It's like 85 today--boo. One day maybe you can live close to all of us and hang out.
