Slides and candy

Today was our first family outing to the park. James loved showing off on the slides to Grandma and Mommy. We go to the "big boy" playground to use the big slides...those baby slides are for the birds. The best is when James wears fleece pants, then he can really get some speed and usually catches air at the end of the slide. Luke slept the entire time in his sling. Two happy boys and a beautiful day at the park...priceless!



Tonight I was the trick-or-treat scrooge and picked all the good candy out of the candy bowl. We sat outside on our steps to hand out candy with James, and he had a melt down when people started taking the candy. This was totally unexpected - he doesn't even like candy. So we came in early for a bath. Luke, again slept through all the excitement. After bath time was over, James and I sat on the couch and read his favorite book. Daddy is handing out the candy and James and I are inside singing along with his favorite book - the twelve days of Christmas. Oh what a night!

Funny stories - I don't think Abigail got the candy part. We went trick-or-treating, fortunately with our 3 yo next door neighbor. Abigail would wait for her to go up to the door and say trick-or-treat before she would go near the front porch. Then she wouldn't even hold her bag open. But she did love holding hands with Lee Rachel and running down the street. Kids are funny!
