HAPPY HALLOWEEN

This is such a wonderful time of year in our home. Both Jeff and I love it and get very in to the holidays. This Halloween was extra fun because Ethan is starting to understand something fun is going on and he gets excited. This year he was a dragon / dinosaur. We didn't see the wings when we bought it so we thought he was a dinosaur.


We went to a church Halloween party on Friday night and then Saturday we spent the day having fun. We went to a fun lunch, made and decorated Halloween cookies to take to neighbors and family, carved pumpkins, and went trick or treating. Ethan loved all of it. He really got in to the trick or treating once he figured it out. He would grab his bag and put it on his arm before walking up to a house, hit the door (his way of knocking) and then when they would offer the candy, he would take it and put it in his pumpkin bag. It was so cute. Then he'd go running for the next one. He loved it! He probably would have gone all night if we had let him. Yay! Mom loves trick or treating and can't wait for next year when we can go all night!


Ethan is off to the races!

Build a Dino

When we went to the Disney Marketplace they had a Build-a Dino (like the build a bear). It was inside a fantastic restaurant that was all dinosaurs. Ethan picked his dinosaur and helped to put his heart (s) - he has two - in, his stuffing in, and then he picked out his clothes, including sunglasses. Danny the Dino's little shirt says "It stinks to be extinct". So cute!

Putting the heart in his new friend.






Checking the stuffing level. It had to be just right.

Para Sailing

Jeff and Phillip went para sailing and jet-skiing out in the ocean. Jeff went twice and he said he LOVED it. I can't wait to go back so I can try it!
Starting out. They loved it!


They went SO high up. Some pictures all you can see is a yellow dot... The boat drivers would go real slow and let them "fall" down and drop into the water and then pull them back up into the air.
