This Halloween was soo fun. I helped with our church party and we all dressed up. Canyon a pirate, Trek a wolf, Gary a nurse and me a forester (get it). We started out the festivities wit our church party and had a blast with carnival games and a chili cook-off. The next day was Halloween and Canyon dressed up for school. We went trick-or-treating that evening (our kids first year doing this) and the boys made out like bandits.
Trek's candy was gone it about 4 days. Canyon sorted his into categories placed them in separate baggies and hid them in our nieces room for safe keeping. He'll most likely have Halloween Candy for the next year. (Two completely different boys... wondering what #3 will be like.)
An October visit form Gram included a picnic, shopping, a soccer game, and pumpkin carving: We love visits from Gram.
After going to the bathroom, Trek kindly came out and said:
"Mama, I can learn you how to pee standing up. It's easy. Just lean over, but not too far so you don't fall in."
While eating dinner (that I cooked-that wasn't that great-which consisted of undercooked rice and over cooked vegetables and not very flavorful chicken) Canyon leaned over to me and said: "Mom, I have a secret to tell you, Dad is a better cook." After the words came out of his mouth and he realized that maybe that was a secret he should've told Gary not me his eyes got real big and didn't know what to say. We all shared a good laugh.
