Can you tell which one Sean painted? He was very thorough!
Cookie decorating! When I was a kid we would decorate cookies at almost every holiday. I would like to pass that tradition on. I think Sean would be fine with that.
Halloween night:
Sean was awesome this year. Last year he only went to 3 or 4 houses. This year, he totally caught on to the idea of trick or treating. We went trick or treating with all the Brady cousins. Sean was a dinosaur and Matthew was a little frog. When we started out, Sean was diligently following his older cousins, but about 5 houses in, Sean started leading the pack. He figured out that he needed to say "Trick or treat!" at each house to get candy. He would say thank you and goodbye to everyone. After each house, he would run back to Jon and I on the sidewalk and say "Look Mom, look what I got!" Then he would run at full speed to the next house. I left Sean with Jon and brought Matthew home after the first street. Jon told me more stories about Sean. He said that Sean would knock at the door and say "trick or treat" before the door even opened. When the people would open the door he would just look at them expectantly. He also would try to walk into houses. That was exciting.
Sean pulled the head part of his dinosaur costume off. It's too bad because it was seriously cute.
Matthew the frog. Complete with tongue sticking out.
Matthew was an adorable frog crawling around. It's the same costume that Sean wore 2 years ago. A couple weeks ago, I put the boys in their costumes and Sean wanted a turn to be a frog too. It's a size 6 to 12 months outfit. It fit Sean ok- but the arms were super short and the legs were only up to his mid-thighs. He kept trying to pull the legs down. It was pretty silly.
It was a great October. Jon is still looking for work. He had some really good interviews though, so we're hoping something will work out soon. Until then, we are loving all the time we have with family.
