Happy Halloween!

Sunday we carved our pumpkins while watching The Addams Family.  Andrew wasn’t too sure about cleaning out the pumpkins, but he was a good supervisor.

He felt the pumpkin needed to wear a balloon as a hat.

He then pointed out all the pumpkins.  One was the daddy pumpkin, then mommy pumpkin and baby pumpkin, plus the kitty.  The kitty was part of the family too.  Andrew is all about families lately and everything has a mommy, daddy and baby.  It is so cute.

We had a great Halloween night! Andrew really figured out what Trick or Treating was all about. We went to both of the streets in our neighborhood until he was so cold he was ready to go home. He was so cute knocking on the door and then said “trick or treat” and then “thank-you.” We went with our neighbor Laurel and Zack. Zack and Andrew are the best of friends and they both dressed up as Superman. It was so cute watching them run around the neighborhood together. Aaron dressed up as Indiana Jones for work and to give out candy tonight. He was a hit with the kids.

We had mummy pigs (little smokies in a blanket) and apple slices for dinner tonight.  Yummy!

Andrew ready to go trick or treating.

Naptime Friend?

Today after church we ate lunch and then carved pumpkins. Andrew got a balloon at Tomato Brothers where we ate last night and was playing with it while we were carving pumpkins.  Andrew was getting ready for a nap and he laid down on the couch with his blanket and fell asleep while still holding onto his balloon.  It was funny to see him sound asleep with a balloon next to him.

A New Hiding Place

Andrew has discovered that he can fit in the cupboard with the pots and pans.  There are times where we wonder where he is and he pops out of the cupboard. 

He even finds good places to hide in stores. 

We were at Wal-mart yesterday and all of the sudden we realized Andrew wasn’t next to us.  (I know…good parents we are.)  We started calling his name and the people in the aisle said they didn’t see him walk away.  Then we heard a little giggle from the shelf in front of us.  We looked down and there was Andrew behind the cake mixes.  Who would have thought he could fit back there?!

New Table and Chairs

 

I wanted a set of Andrew size table and chairs for our home.  After going to many stores and not finding what I wanted or pay the price stores wanted, Aaron decided he could make it himself.

During the making of said table and chairs.  Ready to sand, stain and lacquer.

Andrew trying it out.  I think he approves.

Andrew testing out the finished product. 

Impressive huh?!  It even works for cars and cookies and can travel around the dining room.

Sticker Fun

Andrew is really into stickers lately and yesterday he decided to cover his shirt in stickers (some of them had already fallen off before we took a picture).  He is such a fun kid.  I love having him in our family!

P.S.  when did he get to start looking like a big kid?  Where did my baby go?   I didn’t authorize this!
