Happy Halloween!

My little train

Trick or Treating at the Earhart's

I'm ready to go NOW!!

My and my baby

I got lots of candy!!

On Saturday October 31, 2009 we were surprised very early by Oma and Opa who came down to see Peyton. He would not put on his costume or take a picture at all. After they left we headed over to Papa and Grandma Di’s and he would still not take a picture but I got him as he was running around but he yelled at me and said “no cheese” which means no picture. We then went to a Halloween Party at the LeVota’s and he got to go around their neighborhood and then we headed home and he went around our neighborhood to a few houses, and then the poor guy started coughing so much he came home, but he had a blast handing out candy, he would hear the door bell and come running, it was so fun. He had a great night and was very excited about all his candy.

On Friday October 30, 2009 we went to a wedding reception for Lance’s cousin Brad. Peyton had a blast running around and then dancing, he looked like he was trying to break dance, it was hilarious.

Peyton's School Halloween Party!

He wanted to take picture!

On Friday October 30, 2009 Peyton had his school Halloween Party. They had made masks and they wore them to Trick or Treat to each of the classrooms, he really enjoyed it and then we did a cake walk it lasted one time and then all the kids wanted their cake, so they ate cake and drank juice. Peyton was a wild man and he and two other boys were running around crazy and then he was picking on a little girl that I hear he picks on quite a bit as well as she picking on him, so we think they have a little romance brewingJ It was a great afternoon and he was definitely hyped up on sugar.

Peyton and Mommy

Peyton and Daddy

On Sunday October 18, 2009 we went to Carolyn's Pumpkin patch, we went through the petting zoo and Peyton did not like this at all, when we entered he said "it stinks" and then he was standing by the calf and it moved up to him and that scared him and he only wanted to be carried by mommy. He went down a couple of the slides and he loved the big slide no surprise and so he went down that one twice. He played on the wood train and wanted to ride the tractor trikes but his legs are just not long enough. He got on the tractor ride which cost a $1 and he went around once before he jumped off, so much for the five minute ride. Then we took the tractor out to pick out a pumpkin and of course Peyton got a little pumpkin for himself. We rode the train and he was very excited to ride a choo choo. It was a great afternoon and Peyton was asleep within five minutes of getting in the car, he was worn out.

MU Game

Before generators came up!

On Thursday October 8, 2009, Lance, Tanner and I went to the MU game. MU lost to Nebraska in the last quarter it was a horrible game. It rained all day long and on the way there were wrecks everywhere, when we arrived we hit up Taco Bell and ate in the car after paying $15 to park because they were not allowing parking anywhere for this particular game. We had many layers of clothes and ponchos, which did not help much we were soaked and it was so cold we could barely feel our fingers and toes. About 10 minutes after entering the stadium the campus had a power outage and it was black, they got the back up generators running but there was no PA system and no jumbo tron so we didn't get to hear Sarah Evans sing or any commentary of the game. It was running so hard the drains could not keep up in the stands so we had water running almost over the tops of our fee the entire game. When we left the game we had to cross a grassy area and when you stepped down our feet when under and were covered with mud.

Parents As Teachers

Shaving Cream- (Sheeps Wool)

I'm in a tractor!

I love being up here

On Thursday October 1, 2009 we went to a Parents As Teachers Event. Peyton loved the tractor and thought he was big stuff being able to sit in the tractor. He enjoyed running around more than anything but we got him to play like he was fishing, he put spots on a cow with a golf ball and paint it is hanging in our kitchen now (just a cow on a sheet of paper), he then played with the shaving cream, (sheeps fur) and then he galloped with the horse and then rocked on the horse and helped rake leaves. It was a great time and he thoroughly enjoyed it.
