Trick or Treating

Mom attempted to take some pictures of us on the front porch.  This is as good as it gets.  I got to wear my mask to go trick or treating.  I was so excited.

Group picture before we took off for our adventure of trick or treating.

Mommy drove the car behind everyone.

There were some really scary houses with ghosts...ooooohhhh!

Only Elijah would spend time at the candy buckets trying to find the "purple candy."   He was so happy she had a purple lollipop for him at one of the houses.

I knew to go for the candy....Elijah went for the ghosts!

Iliana helped along the way and carried Elijah for us.

There were lots of cool houses and we got lots of candy.

Trunk-or-Treat

We went straight from the airport to the church for trunk-or-treating.  Batman couldn't wear his mask and I didn't want to wear my regular shoes.  It only took about 10 minutes for me to get cold running around in flip flops.

Buzz spent the entire trunk-or-treat screaming because he didn't want shoes on.   No he wasn't tired...he was being two again.

Getting lots of candy!

Finally after we were done walking from car to car Elijah decided to be happy.

I think our favorite part of the trunk-or-treat was running on the grass at the church!

Meshach Comes Home

Meshach came back from his mission in Arizona today.  We all made posters for him. 

I think Nolan, the one who is least likely to remember him, was so happy to see his Uncle Meshach.

I worked really hard on my poster.  I wrote We missed you! on one side and drew some pictures and my name on the other side.

All the kids went upstairs to look for planes.

The kids loved this!  Luckily it wasn't moving or we could have been in trouble.

Soccer Comes to an End

I was patiently waiting my turn for my medal and certificate.

I was so happy to get a medal.  I had to call everyone and tell them right away about my cool medal. I was so proud of myself because I had gotten 7 goals this season...yes, some were in our goal, some were in the other team's goal and some were during practice.  It didn't matter to me...I was sure to let Mom know that I was only 3 goals away from 10. 

A Day Out with Thomas

We went to Cordele, GA for A Day Out With Thomas with Nee Nee and Aunt April while all of the dads went to Atlanta for a ball game. 

Aunt April helped me pick out a train tattoo that he liked.  They had all of the different trains from Thomas and Friends. 

I picked Toby the train.

I then got my face painted.  This is a big deal...this is the first one I have ever gotten.  I am an overly cautious child and wasn't too sure about face painting.  I even changed my mind standing in line but Aunt April and Mommy talked me back into it.

I wanted a rainbow and was excited that I was such a big boy.

Elijah wanted to spend all of his time at the train tables.  He loved playing with James and Diesel.

I loved the sand table.  I played there most of the time.

I even got to pick a duck and get a prize.

I chose dracula teeth.

They had Lego tables and I played there for a little bit but got side tracked by the tent next door.  They were singing and dancing. 

We got to see Sir Topham Hat. 

Elijah didn't like the idea and made Mommy hold him. 

We are so excited that we get to ride on Thomas. 

Elijah couldn't stop pointing at the "Daddy choo-choo."

Thanks Nee Nee for taking us on such a fun train ride.

Looking at the other train tracks as we drove by was so much fun!
