These pictures are at the ward Halloween party. My friend Amber brought Liam and Declan to town and came with us to the party which made it that much better! We went off of her costumes for her boys the boxes of cereal and made Rodney their milk. I had a lot of fun making the costume. I guarantee there isn't another costume like it out there! My friend Lacie thought of dressing him all in white, we thought of the letters and the got milk on the back and Pop contributed with the goldfish carton top painted to match the rest! It was definitely a collaborative effort! He wasn't too fond of the hat but he got used to it by the time we went trick or treating on Halloween night.
We had to constantly stop them from sitting down in the hallways to eat the candy they just got. At first they didn't understand what we were making them do. haha!
Someone in the ward gave my friend Lacie this sword when she was playing with Rodney and didn't know who it was...so we couldn't return it. It has become one of his favorite toys. He calls it his pshhh pshhh. It's pretty funny. We made that noise once when he played with it and it
stuck as its name!
For Halloween we went down to Justin and Sarah's house. This is the second year we've gone to hang out with them. Last year it was a surprise trick or treat from us that turned into hanging out and this year it was more planned. I didn't think it would be near as fun to do it alone with him as it would with cousins! We had so much fun! Rodney loves playing with them and really he looks so much like them too that we joke that he might as well be another one of their children. haha! Their street is so fun. People decked out their yard with haunted houses and there were so many kids on the street that you almost had to wait at every sidewalk for the people before you to come down. At the scariest haunted house Rodney did pretty good until we got to the doorstep and the lady was sitting in the dark and you couldn't see her face through her wig. She then said happy halloween in a very scary voice. That set him over the edge! He wanted up and had a death grip around my neck until we got to the next house. By the end he was saying trick or treat but it sounded more like tick keek but it was really cute. I am bummed I don't have any pictures of all the cousins together, but whats new? I always forget my camera... I think its genetic!
Everytime we are up at Mom and Pop's house rodney thinks it is fun to climb up into the dogs bed and pretend that he is sleeping.
This is right before Thanksgiving dinner. It was quite delicious! My favorite was the mashed potatoes and gravy. Rodney at a little bit of everything and didn't seem to have a favorite.
He helped me make the pie crusts. He saw me rolling the dough out and had to have a turn. We are teaching him early! I have to give a shout out to Mom for teaching me how to do pie crusts! I have made quite a few pies lately and think of her everytime. It is one of the many things I have learned from her and by far not the most important.
