Trunk-or-Treat

OK, so she was this last year... but it was still in great condition and this time she has a mask. I also braided her hair this year. She was so excited when I told her it was the ward Halloween party, the party itself was nothing big. But both my kids won something in the cake walk. Yes, that's right, Aidan won stuff he couldn't eat.

We tried to get Aidan to come with Erica to the cat to get a picture. He had no desire to leave grandma's side. The cat did scare him a little. There is no picture of him in a costume cause he doesn't have one. He's not gonna go trick-or-treating since there are too many things he can't eat, that would be just cruel.

And for those of you who don't have the greatest eyesight... Erica WON! She got the prize for cutest costume and I didn't even tell others to vote for her. I'll admit I put two votes in for her. Grandma was gonna do the same but she can't change her handwriting like I can. So that means she really was the cutest out there.

So this little guy isn't my kid, but who could pass up taking a picture of little Yoda!? This little guy's whole family showed up as different Star Wars characters, from the new and old films.

Pooped After Party

We had a visit with Grandma and Grandpa Webb on Monday. Of course Aidan didn't get his normal nap in, he was too excited and wanted to show Grandma everything. Well, I took Erica to a doctors appointment and this is what I found when we came home. Jeff admitted he had no idea cause he was upstairs on the computer... the sudden quiet would have worried me a bit.

Random Days

Just the boy eating one of his favorite snacks, apple rice cakes. He'll eat the whole bag if you let him.



Don't know who he was looking out for, but he still loves to watch for people on the back of the couch. If only i could get him to keep his pants on!


We went to the Fall Festival in town and saw all the "pretty cars" (classic/muscle cars) and took a look at the things for sale. Erica is so like her grandma in this picture... has to look at all the pretty wood things. FYI, the festival is the place to get the best home-made doughnuts (in grandma's white bag).



I was so tired after the festival that I took a nap on the couch and let the kids play. This is what they did... their first fort. Not as big as we can get it, but they didn't have enough blankets.



Erica hiding in her fort. She was so upset when I told her it was time to clean up.

Helping Hands

Jeff was doing some exercises after lunch, one leg squats. At first Erica was doing them right with him (her way of course) and then all she did was laugh at him. Jeff can't quite do them and the results were making Erica laugh. She did try to help him when he asked, but she was too weak from laughter.

Daddy-Daughter Time

Jeff does what he can to spend as much time with the kids before he leaves for work. Despite Erica in he pj's this was in the early afternoon. She asked daddy to come and sit and he decided to color with her while his lunch heated up.

I never saw a more serious color session before.... I think he only colored the kitten and let Erica finish up.

Little Doggie

Aidan decided to take his plate and put it on the floor... walk around it and then...
Eat like 'doooggie' or Duke (my brother's dog). It was actually very funny, until I saw the mess he was making on my floor. I let him do it so I couldn't get mad. Can we say bath time?

Brag Time

I only taught Erica how to draw the letter A. At school they have only gone over M,R and S. Erica basically taught herself how to draw most of the other letters, thanks to a 'learn to write' dry-erase book that Grandma Adams got her. She is missing a few claiming she didn't know how to write them. That gets her frustrated and I'm the one who has to calm her down (used to be the other way around).
