Happy Halloween

Halloween is one of our favorite holidays. We always decorate our house and love when the kids tell us that our house always is the scariest and looks the best! Kevin had his first Wizards game of the season so he missed out. I took JT out trick or treating with Justin, our neighbor, in tow. We didn't let the rain stop us. JT had the best time. He always said, "Trick or Treat" and waited patiently for his candy. He kept talking about how he was getting candy for his pumpkin. He doesn't really know what candy is but he knows what lollipops are! Luckily it wasn't towards the end that he saw a lollipop and asked me to open it. Seeing that is was Halloween, I let him have it. He actually sucked on it a few times and said he was, "All done." He wasn't afraid of any of the decoration and actually would go up to the skeletons in our yard and gave them hugs. I thought that was very nice of him! We got back home and we both handed out candy. He enjoyed helping. I put him to bed and after about 8:00pm we didn't have any other visitors. I think the rain kept people away. We had a great time.

Last week, we made a trip back to Cox Farms. We went with the Harrison family. JT and Gavin spent about an hour running up and going down the slide. They had a blast. JT saw his goat friends and when one was sleeping, JT very nicely told people to, "Shhh." We picked out pumpkins and carved one of the bigger ones. JT really didn't like carving the pumpkin, so I did it myself. Kevin reminded me that he never liked carving pumpkins either. I guess that job will left to me then.

JT has moved into his new "Big Boy" room and is sleeping on an air mattress. It is an animal safari room, filled with elephants, zebras and giraffes. He loves sit!

No new to report on the adoption process. Still waiting.......
