Halloween Happiness

I think he kinda looks like a Sasquatch here

I love the depth of this picture. Kennon looks twice the size of Maddox!! 

So I uploaded this pictures over the weekend and never got back to writing the text.  So, all my funny little sayin's I had formulated in my mind while I was cataloging the pictures are now gone. So this time I"ll let you formulate your own. In a nutshell Maddox and Kennon had a ball trick-or-treating. We got to go with Hannah and Charlie, Jody and Aaron our neighbors up the road who are moving to Minnesota....as I type this....Kennon and I are actually watching Charlie so Jody can help the movers load up the semi.  We are sure going to miss the Stegemanns!!  Watching the two boys interact together is really fun. Quite different than Maddox and Kennon.  They are both slapping the toys to see who can make the loudest sounds. Charlie turned 1 on Maddox's birthday so he is just slightly younger than Kennon but is not walking quite yet.  It would be cool for Kennon to have a little brother!! Anyhow Kennon got a neat light stick from our neighbor Lori to the North of us on Halloween night and after that he really could have cared less how much candy he did or didn't get. He LOVED that light stick and literally just sauntered from house to house following Maddox and Hannah arriving at the doors in own sweet little time all the while pushing the light stick on and then off about every 30 seconds.  He was mistaken several times as a BEAR instead of a monkey which kinda became a funny joke between Jody and I.  As the sun went down it got really chilly so we retreated home to homemade pizza.....and a feverish Maddox.  Maddox woke up at 2am with a fever keeping her home from school the next day. We were lucky Grandpa Jim came to the rescue and was able to stay home with Maddox while Eric and I worked.  Thank you GRANDPA JIM....this retirement of yours is really coming in handy!! Just a 24 hour bug or something as she was able to go back to school on Friday.  Last Wednesday Maddox went for her  3 yr check up. She is up to the 74th percentile for height at 38.5 inches and the 54th percentile for weight at31.8  pounds.  Dr.  was happy with how she looked and even took her blood pressure which was 110.60 if I remember right. She didn't get any shots, which was good since it was Halloween.  Dr said we are able to move her to whatever type of milk we want, even skim.  Both kids are sort of alternating sleeping through the night. So it seems like forever that Eric and I have gotten a full nights sleep, I guess that is just Murphy's Law when you have two kids.  Actually Eric takes the brunt of that as his sensitive ears allow him to hear the kids much more timely than myself.  Well back to entertaining the boys.  Have a good week.  

Kennon and his light stick....slightly mesmorized!!

Check out the mask on the candy giver.....a little scary for the toddler aged kids in our neighborhood!! See Maddox is keeping her distance.  It was a really scary mask....I didn't even go to the door. 

Jody captured this shot....perfect smiles and Halloween Happiness written all of their faces.
