trunk or treat 2013

Jon and I have dressed up for Halloween every year since we met. Well except the year I was on bed rest with Regan. It's safe to say this a tradition for our family. This is the first year we have ever done any sort of themed costumes. It's been so fun that I am already planning next years group costume. It started with Regan's Batman obsession. I decided if he was going as Batman then I would go as Wonder Woman. Finding a flesh covering WW costume was not hard at all! No really, it was easy.

When my costume arrived the children asked all sorts of questions about WW. So I pulled up the t.v. show for them to watch. Kaylee and Regan are now hooked on WW. Kaylee decided after watching episode one that she no longer wated to be Aroura for Halloween. She NEEDED to be WW. Finding a flesh covering costume for her proved impossible. So I made her costume.

Regan chose the old school Batman look so Jon went with the newer look. So the kids are wearing the more traditional outfits, and the adults are wearing the newest versions of these caractors,

I didn't realize until the next day that Regan didn't have his utility belt on. Sad. It was burried in the dress up box…

We had so much fun. The children are counting down the day until they get to do the door to door candy collecting.

Play dates and firsts

We got to bring Olivia home with us after school today. Today was Kaylee's first early release day. So she went to school BEFORE lunch, and came home at noon. The children decided on a picnic lunch with a movie and shape puzzles.

The imagination on these three is second to none. I was very amused.

I have a too big Kaylee helmet, and a too big Regan bike laying around waiting for kids to grow into them. Today Olivia was able to put them to good use. This was Regan's FIRST time on his own bike, and I found out later that is was Olivia's first time on a bike as well! She's a natural. I was shocked when Sally told me she had never ridden before. Shocked.

I LOVE that he insisted on his cape, Batman sunglasses and sword for the bike ride. Silly boy.

Regan did NOT approve when I left his side.

Olivia was consistently just ahead of us. She would stop and walk back to us to help Kaylee through the tough spots. She also kept telling Regan he could do it, when he got frustrated. She is such a sweet friend.

We had smoothies when we got back home, and then Regan went down for a nap. So of course the nail polish came out. We did candy corn toes.

Kaylee lived it up getting pampered by us. Olivia really liked be able to do the clear top coat on their nails.

We ended our day of Olivia fun by cutting out a couple of yard bags and taping a skeleton face to the garage door. The girls had fun placing all the creepy teeth.

Mothers and Sons

Regan and I have been enjoying one on one time together while Kaylee is at school. This is new for us, and we LOVE it. We've been going to the library, grocery shopping, browsing through stores, or we spend the entire time she is away just snuggling on the couch. Today we got to enjoy lunch with friends! Regan was bouncing off the walls the entire time.

This happened not once, but thrice! And then the waitress brought him more! Sally said she must not have kids. I agreed. Sally I hope lunch was mildly entertaining. Sorry about the soda on your feet.

Regan was quite happy to see the baby. He is now asking for a baby brother or sister. It makes me all gooey inside. He really can't decide which because, "girls are cute, but boys are fun". He dose enjoy his WWE time with his boy cousins…..

Little man was very excited about his pizza. He kept randomly yelling, ""I so excited!" He ate half there, and then the other half in the car.

I thought briefly about taking him home for a quick nap before we needed to pick up Kaylee, but he was SO SO SO hyper. So I called Shannon to see if I could swing by and drop some stuff off, but she was not home.

So we went window shopping, and fell in love with this too small hoodie. It was the only one in the store. Regan ran around in it for a bit and I took pictures so I can make one for him. He is super into Batman right now. And by right now I mean the last several months. And by into I mean obsessed.

As much as we miss Kaylee, it sure has been lovely having one on one time with my little man.
