It's Okay Mom, It's Not Real

Halloween was so much fun this year. Jake is finally old enough to really get into it. He kept beating me down asking for Trick or Treat as soon as I picked him up from Shayla's. William did great. There is one house where the dad dresses up in the skeleton thing and comes out of the shadows of the doorway to hand out the candy. Before William would not go near that house. This time he walked right up. Good for him. Granted it was not real dark yet. Lots of houses on our street went all out. I was taking pictures of this one house while Doug and the kids walked across the street. Apparently Doug had to explain some things were not real to Jake. That became the phrase of the night for Jake. As I crossed the street to join them Jake tells me "It's Okay Mom, It's Not Real". He can be so cute some times. I stress sometimes. Today I came in from the garage to find him using the tile floor in the kitchen as a chalk board. Unlike when he took a metal flashlight to the rear quarter panel of my truck he got his but busted. Ok back to Halloween. After we got done we were eating pizza and enjoying the night. Emily and William took over candy duty from Ethan. Jake wanted to help so we told Emily and William to let him. After he passed out his first candy he came running back to us yelling he did it and asking for a High Five. Again so cute. But keep in mind the car and the floor. Hope everyone had a great time!

Take care,

The crazy trio

Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday we went to the Flower Mound Pumpkin Patch. We took a picnic dinner and ate by the pond. The lone three ducks in the pond were so happy we were there. We walked around and looked at the pumpkins. They had bounce houses, hay mazes and all other kinds of stuff. Ethan didn't want to go so we left his happy butt at the house. We will go back when we have more time as we went later in the day and didn't have tons of time.

William and Me - Notice he is a true snaggletooth. He lost the other one!!

Jake and Me - I actually started rolling in the hay with him after this . It will take awhile to get the straw out of my top.

Emily, William and Me - I know don't faint I am in a casual pic with Emily
