Halloween (just a little late)

Both kids loved Halloween, and Callie now asks for "CAN-Y" about 30 times a day. I always knew she was smart.

 

They both came to my school costume parade and got to hang out for a bit with my class. Candy for breakfast? Why not! After school, I took them to Prairie Village to trick-or-treat at the shops. PERFECT for small children. NOT SO PERFECT for one parent trying to keep both of her children from running off. (Strangers with candy everywhere- a parent's worst nightmare!) We'll definitely do that again next year, but hopefully Daddy can come help. That night we took Callie to a few houses in the neighborhood, and the Peter Parker and I went out to collect as much candy as possible.



Clark Kent found SUPERDOG!!!



 Video footage below. I believe it starts at the Pumpkin Patch we went to in Tulsa with the Stanford clan.  The really dark part of the video was a SUPER scary house down the street. These people are insane, and I can NOT believe Preston was courageous enough to go up on their porch.  For example, they had someone in a mask with a chainsaw in the garage, a recording of people screaming playing, fog machines, tombstones, and two guys on TOP of the house with giant knives and scream masks. Honestly, I was a little scared.  Peter Parker was brave, though. Anything for candy!!

Hope you all got your candy fill! Hard to believe Thanksgiving is this week...

Chatty Callie

It has been a verbal explosion over here recently with our Callie Buttons. She never seems to stop learning new words these days. I would say she has hundreds of words in her vocabulary now, and she has started stringing two and three together.  My favorite is when I ask her to do something and she says, "OKAY, MOMMY." I'm sure that won't last forever.  I also love when she walks into a room and says "WHA YOU DO-ING?"  Despite the tremendous increase in her word power, she still refuses to call Preston by his name. I'm pretty sure she'll always call him Bobby. Truth be told, I'VE started calling him Bobby, too.

The beginning of the video is just a typical evening here. The fun never stops!
