Halloween Happenings

It has been a busy, busy week. Jack and I did the usual, plus get our house ready for an appraisal on Friday morning. Dan has been sick, so we have done our best to take care of him as well. Dan is finally on his way to feeling GREAT, but he had to pass on our Halloween Celebration in Naperville. We had a great time visiting Jack's cousins and of course had plenty of treats to bring home for Dan. :)


Jack and Cade dressed up in their Skeleton PJs.


Cousin Lauren was very helpful feeding Jack some snacks. Micah fed him cereal and pears for lunch. I love the extra help. :)

Ready for Trick or Treating with our cousins Lauren & Micah. We have a Jedi, Cinderella, and elephant.

Too bad Jack fell asleep while we were out. People stopped giving us candy once he was snoozing. :(

We enjoyed a delicious chili dinner, Jack especially enjoyed the potato soup. The classic line of the day... Jack is inhaling the soup (it couldn't come fast enough), Michelle comments on his big appetite. I laugh. Micah (age 5) says "do you think that's why he's so fat?"


A couple weeks ago we carved pumpkins with our friends the Hatch's. They made a cute pumpkin like their little guy Trevin & his 3 teeth. Us? Dan came up with a great idea and I did the carving. Unfortunately pictures aren't great to capture the story, so enjoy a video!

(There is a scary man with a sickle, chasing the little people to the burning house. Dan wanted a little headless man on the other side of the big scary man, but we never got around to it.)



And as a little update- Jack is not crawling but he is scooting like a PRO. His prey today... Dan's video games.

Those skeleton outfits are the cutest. You are good for taking jack trick-or-treating. You did a great job carving those pumpkins too.
