Trick or Treat!

What a wonderful day it was! Jamie, Nate, and I headed out for Nate's true first trick or treating. The post was crowded with kids before it even got dark. It reminded me so much of the movie E.T. Most of the people would sit in their drive ways and let the kids walk up to them for the candy. Nate was confused at first and traded candy with people. Instead of accepting or grabbing a piece he would take a piece from his bucket, put it in their bucket, and then take a piece. Jamie and I just laughed. Jamie said to Nate, "buddy your kinda missing the point here" HAHAHHAHA I thought to myself this is interesting. Yet, he had a hard time saying please or thank you. I see trick or treating as a great way to teach kids this good life lesson, but Nate felt uncomfortable and even shy which was VERY UNLIKE him. Instead of a 'thank you' he would shout, "IM BUZZ LIGHT GEAR!" There was a time where we were walking behind a little ballerina girl and Nate thought he would walk up beside her, have a conversation, and then start trick or treating with her. She walked to her house and Nate kept watching her and bumping into Jamie's leg. When we got back Jamie inspected the candy and Nate was generous and shared with his da da put some in a bag for Jamie. Nate was not interested in cleaning the pumpkin out, but he enjoyed playing with the insides. Jamie carved a cute face on it, and Nate had fun blowing it out over and over and over again like a candle. Once he realized that the pumpkin looked better lit, he sat there and starred at it.

Busy Week

Well it has been awhile since I have been on here and updated ya'll on the family happenings. Jamie came home for an early leave because his father passed due to illness. It was held in Quinlan Texas which is about 4-5 hours from here. Though it was an emotion couple days, it was great to meet some of Jamie's extended family that I had never met and he had not seen in years. Nate was able to play with some cousins and he had a blast. Last day we were there, we headed over to Jamie's fathers house and mowed the lawn and boarded it up. We brought home a dresser that had family meaning so I look forward to restoring it.

He was too excited

Poor Nate did not want to put the "Buzz" in the closet and wait until trick or treat time, so he put the costume on and transformed into "Buz Lightgear" for the rest of the day. HAHHAHAHHAHAHA Sorry the film was at an angle.

Sneak Peak

Nathan LOVES Buzz and GG sent him this really cute Buzz constume. It fits perfectly and he looks so cute. He was absolutely so excited and running around the house yelling, "Im Buzz LightGear" I also could not resist and bought a couple little pumpkins until we can head out to the pumpkin patch. It brought tears to my eyes to see how excited he was in the costume. This is truly the first holiday that he is into. It just makes me that more excited about Christmas. I cant imagine what that is going to be like!

Like Father Like Son

Nate fell asleep on the couch and I remembered this pose.

Dont Fall In!

It was Nate's bath time and Mr. J wanted to join in. He jumped up there and just starred into the tub. I was just waiting for him to fall in but he never did.

My Daddy

Nate discovered Jamie's graduation photo on the wall and decided that he was going to climb up the shelf and kiss him. He told, "Mama my daddy.....mama my daddy not yours...." I could not stop laughing!
