TRICK or TREAT!?!

Kaleb... the "scary pumpkin."

This is mad dash #2 of the day! I'm in my PJ's because Dylan and I were going to be a "baby shower." (I had robes and shower caps for us to wear, but Dylan slept through the whole party.) We got showered on anyway!

"I'm sad... I had a bad day!"

The day before Halloween we had a party at the park for our coop preschoolers. It was a party to remember! What we had planned: cake walk, doughnut on a string contest, costume parade, followed by yummy treats. Well, the trick was on us! We had to switch parks because the one we had planned on using was being used and there were no tables left. After getting a late start and having all the food on the table under a ramada, the sprinklers came on and instead of hitting the grass, the sprinkler heads had been changed to point directly at us and all the food we had set up! We made a dash to save babies, toddlers, video cams, cell phones, food (you get the picture) and moved it all to a bench away from the sprinklers. Well the party must go on, so we start doing the cake walk in the grass, when of course.... the sprinklers hit us again!!! It was hysterical! Good thing we live in Phoenix where it's still 90+ degrees and the water was quite refreshing. We ended up just visiting, eating, and letting the kiddos play.

Kaleb has become quite adventurous and is trying to keep up with the kiddos that are a year or so older than him. He fell twice, once getting sand all over and inside his "scary pumpkin" costume... the second a hard fall on his bum after falling from the monkey bars. He had so much fun, I could hardly get him to leave, but on the way home he told me, "I'm sad. I had a bad day!"

The next day on Halloween he told me he didn't want to wear his scary pumpkin costume, because he'd already worn it the day before with his friends at the park. We weren't sure if he was going to be a pumpkin, bee, ghost, or cowboy until about 30 min. before our Trunk or Treat party! He had so much fun this Halloween we had to pretend it was Halloween for FHE tonight. He also told us, "I LOVE candy!" He's just TOO cute!
