Waking Up

"I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming, someone is poking me, someone is poking me. What the...?"

"I might punch you."

"Alright, just give me a moment."

"I'm listening."

"I'm pickin' up what you're puttin' down."

"Let's do this!"

Halloweenie Birthday 2014

Well this year I thought to myself that I could probably get away with just having a friend or two over for Landon's birthday. And I thought to myself I could probably get away with only trick or treating at a couple houses with the boys. So of course this means Landon ended up having a birthday party on Halloween evening and then the posse of 10 neighborhood friends and parents took to the streets for treats. Funny how that happens. Regardless of the original plan, it was a super fun time and I'm glad we decided to pull it off last minute.

Landon, you bring so many silly smiles and energy to our lives. Happy 4th Birthday, my little buddy! As your Grandma put it so eloquently, we could wrap up a box of turds and you'd still find joy in opening it and say, "Cool! Turds!" Lest you think that's an insult, I assure you it is a roundabout way of saying you're a pretty awesome little dude. As it stands, you enjoyed some new Lego sets and that's how you spend about 3 hours a day - doing Legos. Interspersed with iPad, jumping and running like a nutsy guy, Play doh and some puzzles. 

My current career prediction for you as of this year is an improv comedian. You practice your silly animated faces diligently in the mirror each day and you love a good slap stick joke. The next Jim Carrey, perhaps...?

Also: props to Anders for being the Cheeseburger to my Hot Dog. Where do I sign us up for Motherboy?

Happy 4th Birthday, Landon!

Let's see what I can come up with next year.

Working hard for the candy. I didn't get any pics of Landon trick or treating because he was in beast mode and sprinting around too fast :)

Singing happy birthday!

Love our cutie friends!

Parents having fun, too.

Spiderman is apparently looking for the next vertical surface to scale.

This is the year that rookie mom realizes we will not buy a costume that has a full mask for another 10 years.

Epic battle of superheroes.

Mummy dogs and pumpkin pizza was on the menu!

Grandma extraordinaire helping on the front lines. Thank you!!!!
