HAPPY HALLOWEEN

What a wonderful family day today!  This morning Steve made us breakfast.  Get ready for this:  COOKIES
It was a healthier version made with whole wheat flour, banana, and oatmeal.  The boys also had apple slices and 1/2 banana on the side.  YUMMY!
For lunch we had home made pizza.  Whole wheat crust w/ hamburger, onions, peppers, and broccoli.  Afterwards we ran to a few stores and came back and got ready for trick or treating!

Here are my crazy little monkeys
We took them out in the wagon to make it easier if one of them wanted to ride.  Kaysen rode for most of the time.  Caleb switched back and forth between houses.















Kaysen was so excited to wear his monkey costume.  He kept hugging it and saying "Ahhhh" when I was trying to put it on him.  It kept him nice and warm because it was sort of chilly out tonight. 










Caleb was just happy to be a monkey.  He would make monkey sounds as we went from house to house. 
By the time we were half way through trick or treating, Caleb was ready to tackle the houses by himself.  Mom wasn't ready, but Caleb was.  We would walk him up to a house and show him the kids that were walking up the driveway.  He followed behind, waited in line, got his candy and came running back to us.  How old does this little guy think he his?  Doesn't he know that he just turned 2?  Kaysen was ready to go too and would get angry if he was left in the wagon while Caleb went up to the door step.   Some of the people told Caleb to take an extra piece of candy for his brother.  So he would pick out one and come back to the wagon to drop it in Kaysen's bucket.  One time he came back from a house and looked at me and said 'sucker'.  I said, "oh, you got a sucker?" and he had to show it to me.  Then the next house I asked him what he got, and he said 'chocolate'.  My big boy.

We came back and made a simple dinner, and the boys munched on honey grahams and cheese.  Then they each got a piece of chocolate while daddy turned on    It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.  


It was a perfect Halloween evening.
