Nap Time
Sometimes I wish I could curl up and take a nap again. I am not talking about the Sunday afternoon kind of nap. I mean the kind where you go to bed and sleep hard for 2-3 hours everyday.
We are fortunate that Isaac still takes those kinds of naps. That is, if he isn't throwing EVERYTHING out of his bed and then screaming bloody murder because he knows he is not to get out of bed but wants his things back. (Last week he managed to get wedged between the foot board and mattress--but Mom ignored him figuring it was the missing bed things! Kind of like the story of the boy who cried wolf.)
Caleb is a good napper, most of the time. Sometimes, though...well, you see for yourself!

Sweet Treats!
What is better in life than a 2-year old singing and free candy? (Maybe being here to enjoy both!?) :-)
We had our very first trick-or-treating venture this past Wednesday. Isaac was all decked out in his Batman mask...or wait, his Bob the Builder outfit with Dad's tools...or, oh yes, Clifford! After trying on all the before mentioned costumes, we remembered Clifford was packed away in a box. Thanks to Vonda and Carter passing it along to us, Isaac's first Halloween outing was as Clifford, the big red dog! It was fun watching him light up as we told him what we were putting on him. He loved to show Caleb his tail! Trick-or-treating was quite fun. Isaac's first stop was at Pat and Anita's house, and they had a special bag all prepared for him! He could have stopped right there and then with his loot. He was in heaven! We continued over to walk the street with his two buds, Tasha and Sammy. Isaac got the hang of saying "trick-or -treat" and was a very polite Clifford by always saying, "Thank You." He especially loved the houses where the people let him take candy from the bowl! My, how the little hands can grab a lot of candy! Dad even scored a few pieces at some homes!
After we turned off the light on the kids stopping by our house and looked at all our haul of candy, Isaac gave a concert! He loves to sing! I would have to say he gets all his talent from me, but that might be stretching things a bit! :) Anytime he starts playing, you can bet he will be singing soon! Just for your pleasure, we included a short video of him for you!
Life is good--especially when you have sweet treats!
