Happy Halloween! This year Taylor wanted to go as Hannah Montana and Danny was Spiderman...aren't they cute!? About five minutes into trick-or-treating, the kids both announced their plans for next years costumes...Taylor wants to be Candace from Phineas and Ferb (HAHA!!) and Danny wants to be Iron Man (I'm sensing a bit of a trend here..Superman last year, Spidey this year and Iron Man next year. Hmmm..) Then after about a half an hour, both kids were complaining that their legs were getting tired! What!? When I was a kid, it was so awesome to go trick-or-treating! After a few threats of going home, they decided that they were okay enough to continue..sigh. We trick-or-treated in my parents neighborhood for a little over an hour and then came back home to our neighborhood. It was so much fun! Not to mention that now the kids are in bed and Chris and I can enforce the new legislation recently passed in the Sanders Senate: The Halloween Candy Tax. One for the kids, Two for us! :-)
Last week we got to go to Danny's first Preschool Fieldtrip to the Pumpkin Patch! He was so excited he could barely see straight! Unfortunately for us, it was raining pretty good that day and it was relatively cool to boot! After trudging in mud through the corn maze, seeing some farm animals and picking out our pumpkins we were soaking wet and almost completely covered in mud! Oh well, we had a good time and hey, I just pretended that it was a really expensive mud treatment at a spa! Nice delusion, huh?! Whatever gets me through, right? :-)
So this month has been Danny's turn for extra curricular activities. He started itty bitty football and had a blast!! They had 6 different "stations" set up and the kids grouped into teams. (Danny's team was the Broncos) At each station they would practice a different skill: kicking, passing, tackling (wel
l not contact, but flag style) and terminology etc. Danny is a total animal! Everytime they were playing flag football, the kid running with the ball NEVER had a chance! Danny got the flag almost every single time! He is so cute! After a couple practices, his coach came up to me and said "when Danny is a famous football player, please remember that I was his first coach!" How fun! He's had a pretty good arm since he was little and adding a little direction and coaching to that and He is a really good football player! Hmmmm...maybe I've got a little retirement plan in the making! :-)
