Bummer Halloween

Joe got the dreaded stomach bug last night, so Ben and I were on our own for Halloween tonight. At first he wouldn't wear his costume, but the more kids who came to the door, the more interested he was in dressing up (he wouldn't wear the pants, though).Ben loved handing candy out and was happy visiting the two neighbors we went to see. 

I was hoping he would tell his joke "KnockKnockWho'sThereBooBooWhoPleaseDon'tCry." But Ben wasn't in the mood. He does the entire knock-knock and says it so fast you can barely follow along - it's really funny. We're not even sure where he learned it, no one seems to know.

We both missed daddy this year... and hope he feels better soon! He asked me "Where's daddy, mommy?" about 500 times.

Jack-O-Lantern




We carved our first  pumpkin with Ben the other night. Ben and I took care of the guts and Joe carved the pumpkin. He really wanted his own knife to carve his own pumpkin - but we're thinking 2-1/2 is just too young for knives... call us crazy. He was very excited to see it glow when we were all done.
