HAPPIEST HALLOWEEN!!!!
This year the photos speak for themselves. All kids in our "group" had simply the most amazing costumes E-V-E-R!!! My sister Wendy and I decided to make it our tradition to spend Halloween together each year. We have made good on our word for the last 3 years and it has been fun! I love seeing all the kids dressed up at halloween. The more the merrier too! We went to our first annual block party and followed that with some heavy trick-r-treating. The kids made out like bandits..... hurray for us parents who love free chocolate!
For years now Kaden has been able to talk in what we call his "grandpa voice". And so, for years, I have begged, pleaded, and even bribed him into being a grandpa for Halloween. Seriously, this costume has been years in the making and I have imagined what I would get to make this the best costume ever. Needless to say, Kaden never would be a grandpa for me..... until......this year. Who would have thought that at age 12 Kaden would give into my yearly obsession of making him into a grandpa? I didn't even have to beg, plead, or bribe... okay maybe a little bribe in order for Kaden to allow me to "bic" the top of his head for added emphasis.
After all was said and done, hair shaved, suspenders on, cane in hand, and we were in the car heading to Walmart for some spectacles and dinner rolls before continuing on to Schnepf farms. Kadens confidence faltered. He started saying he looked dumb and seemed upset that he had let himself become a grandpa. Wendy and I reasssured him that he was going to get TONS of candy because he looked so awesome. I was even sure he looked so good that he could talk people into giving him money for a picture with him.
And they did! He was complimented left and right about how cool his costume was. Someone paid him a dollar for his pic and he got a dollar OFF his ice cream at schnepf farms for having such a cool costume!! Later, when trick-r-treating people would give him an xtra HANDFUL of candy!! Kaden had so much fun and needless to say his confidence continue to improve throughout the day. By the end of the night he was saying "trick-r-treat" and "Happy Halloween" in his grandpa voice!
Our group of kids had the best costumes ever! Thanks everyone for a Happy Halloween!!

Random cuteness...
Ray got the opportunity to stay home with Dillon on Tuesday while I worked. I came home to some very cute pictures:
King Dillon.
One day while entertaining Dillon and herself by playing make believe, Makayla decided to make Dillon a crown, set him on a "throne" and surround him with "treasure". She is full of imagination and it turned out so cute:
King Dillon and his belly button:

King Dillon and his Treasure:
Bumbo Bath.
Super cute... we got a bumbo (for those of you who don't know what a Bumbo is, it is an infant chair that helps them sit up on their own while still really little/young) for Dillon from my friend Sandi. She said to clean it up so I threw it in the bathtub to scrub it with my handy-dandy Mr. Clean scrubber. While doing so I thought it might be fun to let Dillon sit in the bath in the Bumbo after it was clean. He LOVED it and looked so cute. Makayla soon wandered in to see what we were doing and saw Dillon in the bathtub in his Bumbo seat. She asked if she could sit in the bath and play "Barber shop" with Dillon. She is such an awesome child entertainer. Dillon absolutely loved having Makayla do "wonders with his hair"
