Happy Halloween!



Hello friends!

It looks and feels as if Autumn has arrived here in our neck of the woods. We've had our first snow and it's been chilly some nights. The trees are turning yellow and red, leaves are falling. And that means Halloween!

This is the second year Jack has been trick-or-treating but the first year he's really caught on to the concept. Luckily we live in a neighborhood with lots of friendly folks and many porch lights on.

Not to mention the fact that not only do people Scott knows from the office live here but so do Grandma and Grandpa C! So we went over to Grandma's house and ate some dinner. Then Jack helped hand out candy & popcorn for a while and we stopped at houses on the walk home.

His costume choice was a funny adventure in and of itself. We went to Once Upon A Child to see what they had for costumes. Before we got there, he was going to be Spiderman. There were no Spiderman costumes to be had at that store. But there were lots of ladybug costumes! And Jack loves ladybugs. You may think its silly but it's really not.

1: they are bugs and boys like bugs
2: they are red, like Spiderman and Lightning McQueen
3: they eat other bugs - ferocious!


Anyway he decided that he wanted to be a ladybug and so did Logan. It ended up being really cute and everyone liked it when we stopped at doors.

In other news, I am a year older, but we had fun at my birthday lunch anyway!


Hope you had a happy October too!

Angel or Devil?

Kids. They are too funny. I had to share this one with all of you. We went to Mass today and tried to sit inside for once. Everything was great, until Jack noticed the missal in the pew had these nice orange and yellow squares or something in the illustration on the cover. He was conviced they were dominoes, but that is a word he struggles to say. So, at an especially quiet time in the Mass he looks at me and says, "damn-yous! damn-yous!" We both had a mix of embarassment and laughter. Only out of the mouth of a 2 year old! We went to the back of the church soon after that. :)

Happy Birthday Jack

Here are some photos from Jack's 2nd birthday day, and party. He was so excited he was telling everyone happy birthday! We 'filled' his room with balloons while he was sleeping. He was so excited to wake up to balloons! Jack wanted to pose with his new favorite toy - Buzz! They are still usually only separated at nighttime (too tempting to make noise all night). Oh, and that is his 'camera' smile. He uses it whenever he sees the lens pointed at him. So cheesy! Blowing out the candles on his Spiderman cake. Yes, all the other stuff is Thomas the Train. He likes what he likes. Jack wasn't about to let Emerson go home without a hug. It was a hug, not an attack. Promise!

Easter

Easter has come and gone, but finally I have some photos uploaded! We had a nice time and enjoyed spending time with Grandma and Grandpa C, Antie and Uncle John Tressell , and Uncle Robert, Aunt Natalie, and Emerson. Jack really enjoyed hunting for eggs (for a few days he asked us to hide them again so he could find them), but was a bit disappointed when they no longer had animal cracker in them. Anyway better late than never. I'll put all the photos on Flickr . :) Painting Eggs They actually sat still for three seconds! Family Photo - Easter 2011 Until next time...
