Happy Halloween

Tonight was Collin's first real Trick or Treating experience and oh what an experience.... Thankfully Ryan was able to get a couple hrs off of work to enjoy the fun too. Collin started off not really sure what this was all about. He would go up to the door with the neighbor kids and not say a word, just hold out his bucket. Then when we would pass kids with masks on & he would run as far away as he could. There were a couple houses he even refused to go to because they were a bit too scary (people jumping out in scary costumes etc from tents). By the end of the night he was off on his own saying trick or treat and thank you and loving it. We were only out about 40 minutes then we came back home and he helped hand out some candy. I think he had more fun doing that than anything.

Carving pumpkins...

We forgot to carve our pumpkins this weekend when Ryan was home so last night was quite the adventure, just collin and me. I don't think i have ever carved a pumpkin (that's what dads are for right?) and Collin was so disgusted by the goopy inside, so together we were quite the combo. I captured some great pouting pictures and then we finally resorted to just painting them. Enjoy

Happy Birthday Ryan

We celebrated Ryan's birthday a couple days early since he is back on second shift and weekends are the only time the 3 of us are together. We just had a little cheesecake and some ice cream. Collin had fun decorating the cake (yep a cheesecake) and sticking in the candles. It was just a great family day.

Also a picture of Collin with Aunt Andrea and his new Thomas Train.

Collin's Last day of Daycare in MP

Collin's Last Day of Daycare at Caring for Kids was last friday. It was actually a very sad day, he really loved going there and playing with his "best friends." (straight from his mouth). It was the first time collin had been in daycare fulltime. So it was ironically a very comfortable feeling for me to have him in someone else's care everyday, all day. I tried to take a few pictures of Collin with a couple of the girls that took care of him, however he was less than cooperative, but his friend Ethan was all about posing. So enjoy the pictures of Ethan.
