The Fridge

I don't know why, but when I open the refrigerator Bensen comes running (well army crawling, or more like a fast alligator). Sometimes I just let him play if I am busy trying to make dinner or do dishes. This day he was happy to chew on the ketchup.

My other kids have also had the same interest in the refrigerator.

This is Staucie in July 2007. She is 16 months old.

And then Staucie and Parker in October 2008.

It makes a good seat.

Staucie and Parker can now open the refrigerator themselves and don't care about it anymore.

HALLOWEEN!

We had a busy day. This post has a lot of pictures so beware. Our mom's wanted lots so here you go!

We made, decorated, and ate sugar cookies.

The kids had a lot of fun and the cookies were funny looking, but they loved helping and were covered in flour from head to toe. I had to talk Daniel into helping us. He just wanted to eat them :)

While the cookies were baking and cooling Daniel took the kids to the park to play. Then they came home, had lunch, and decorated the cookies, and ate some. Parker loves to decorate them and take a bite out of each one. Anyone want a cookie from Parker??

While they were gone, I was cleaning the kitchen and then found Bensen standing up to the entertainment center. This age is so fun, but it makes me so nervous. I hate when they fall and bump their heads, but they always do. He didn't fall this time. I helped him down.

After lunch and Parker's nap, the kids went out to play with Daniel. Bensen wanted to go too.

Halloween Night!

Getting ready for our church party.

Staucie was so excited. I was just glad we could get the costume on Parker.

He wouldn't smile. He didn't know what was going on.

At our church party, we had a potluck dinner and the kids played some games. They got little prizes and candy and little pumpkins to put them in. We now have 5 pumpkins. Good thing I never bought Bensen one.

The cake walk.

They had no idea what they were doing.

But they liked the little cupcake they got to eat.Playing some other games.

Bensen hanging out.

Trick-Or-Treat!

They loved going trick-or-treating. We just did our street.

After a couple houses, Staucie would ask if we are going to another house and then would say, "Yeah! I like Halloween!" They enjoyed walking around outside with all the other trick-or-treaters and of course GETTING CANDY! They had a blast.

Then we went home and checked out our loot. Bensen really enjoyed playing with it all and pulling things out of the pumpkin buckets.

Mmm... M&Ms.

Yummy candy!

"Trick-or-Treat. I love candy!"

They also really enjoyed handing out candy to the kids that came to our door. We ran out of candy though. We have never really had trick-or-treaters so I didn't buy enough. We had to turn off our lights and then put the kids to bed.

Happy Halloween!
