Halloween Night

Halloween night, we traveled to Fairfield and met Sym for trick or treating. Some things Mommy learned:
1. Boys LOVE to ring door bells
2. Costume props will be carried by Mommy (just leave them at home).
3. Bring a bag to keep the candy bag light.
4. Break in boots BEFORE making son walk a mile for candy.

Overall...a nice night.

2 days later, 7am..."what do you want for Breakfast, Alex" ... "I don't want breakfast. I want dessert." After eating a piece of toast..."What else do you want for breakfast, Alex?"... "a lollipop". After 5 minutes of complaining...the boy got a lollipop and went to preschool :)

Candy will go to work with Daddy and Abuelo!

Mammaw's Trick or Treaters

Here's Mammaw with her 2 cute trick or treaters :)

Fireman Alex

Ok...so we are not orginal this year but Alex demanded to be a firefighter for Halloween. Nothing too fancy :)

Friday, at Jelly Beans, Alex had his first halloween party. At 6AM, he woke up, charged into our room and demanded to put on his costume. He had a blast!

Zoë

Haven't mentioned that the dog is GROWING! Zoë easily comes to Alex's hip, can snag food off the kitchen table, and loves to play fetch and tug of war. She is Alex's shadow :)

Pumpkin Carving

The boys were VERY excited to carve a pumpkin together this year :) Alex designed the face and Daddy had the pleasure of carving it out. (Though Alex really really wanted to help...enter butter knife.) Over all a cute face!

Mommy's 29th

For my 29th birthday, my husband stayed home, my car got fixed, I worked, Alex went to school and everyone made me chocolate chip pancakes with strawberries for dinner :) To top it off... rice krispie treats a la Pat.

Nice!
