Birthday/Halloween

C made this video....

PR here we come!

In my excitement about our upcoming trip to Puerto Rico, I told Ryan that we were going. That may have been a mistake. It's just under a month away and normally I wouldn't have told him so far out. For this reason........
Ever since I told him, he has asked me several time a day, "Can we go to Puerto Rico Now?"
To try and help him understand when we are going we made a paper chain to count down the days. We did this for his birthday and that went really well. We would tear a link off every night right before bed, which helped motivate him to go to bed at night. (An added bonus)

Here is our Puerto Rico chain!
I can't wait!

Trick-or-Treat!

In our neighborhood we don't trick-or-treat on Halloween. We do it on some night prior to Halloween, it varies from year to year and no one seems to know who makes this decision, but everyone seems to go along with it. In the past this has really driven me nuts, but this year it actually worked to my benefit. We did it on Thursday night, so it didn't interfere with Ryan's birthday. Here he is helping me hand out the candy. After the candy was all gone we went out and did some trick-or-treating ourselves. We went up our street about 10 houses and came back. Poor Daddy had to work, but he patrolled our street about the time we were walking back to the house so he got to see us. All in all it was a pretty fun night, even if it wasn't "on " Halloween

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOY!!!
