Story time!

Tatum and Sara making us all laugh;-)

Audrey playing

Bubble time (also look below a couple posts for the video of Kayden dancing during bubble time!)

Is so much fun!! I think it might be one of Kayden's favorite parts of the week! On Wednesdays we go for our morning walk and then get ready for our breakfast with Audrey and Sara. He now knows this is the routine and he gets excited when I talk about meeting Audrey for breakfast. He also loves to hear that we are going to storytime and he gets to listen to books, ring bells and dance in the bubbles. He is so cute dancing in the bubbles! I just love watching him jump up and run to the bubble machine and wait for the bubbles to start. Such a fun part of the week! Hoping Izzie will like storytime too so that we don't loose our storytime buddies:-)
Today Tatum came to storytime with Grandma and Kayden and Audrey were both excited to see another friend there. Tatum was playing a funny game with Sara that made us all laugh pretty hard:-) Tatum...I think you should show mommy your game;-)

Toy Town

Yesterday we went to toy town w/ a couple friends. Kayden had lots of fun in the little town set up just for little people! They had a hospital, fire station, stores, grocery store, post office, car shop, pizza shop, etc. Kayden really loved the train table..hint hint Grandma! He could have spent the whole time we were there at the train table. He also really liked the car shop and I love the video below of him "working" on the car, and how he imitates the big boy. He wore himself out at toy town and then took a 3.5 hour nap!! Must be growing right now w/ all these long sleeps!

Bubble Time!

Working hard!

"Vote"

Was one of Kayden's new words today so I thought I'd spread the message for my little political babe! I was talking to Uncle Mark and we were discussing our votes for tomorrow and he started saying "vote" and tonight he kept saying it while Kyle and I discussed how we'd vote tomorrow (working out voting w/ the little man and Kyle's work).
So vote everyone!! Kayden thinks it is important enough to add it to his vocabulary!

Worn out?

Yesterday Kayden only took a short nap in the car around 10am, usually if he does that it means he is tired but that he won't go down later. So around 3 we headed out for a late lunch and Kayden decided this was a bad idea, we ended up leaving after getting our drinks and he fell asleep on the car ride home. I transferred him to his crib around 4:15ish and thought he'd take a late afternoon nap. Around 6:30 he woke up and I thought he'd stay up for a bit.....he barely even opened his eyes, nursed back to sleep with the lights on, me talking to daddy, the football game on and everything. I thought this would equal a very early morning wake up but to my surprise he woke up at his normal 6am time? I guess the big events on Halloween really wore my baby out b/c he slept 14 hours!! That is definetely the earliest he has ever went to bed for the night!

Trick or Treating

Kyle and Tatum doing the "mean Tatum"



for the first time! What a big boy! It was so strange watching him walk around with his little bucket and going trick or treating, seemed like such a big boy thing to do and my little guy was doing it! We went over to Tatum's for dinner, Josh made yummy tacos and homemade chips (thanks for making those Josh...they were so yummy!!!) and then we took the kiddos to trick or treat. I didn't think they'd be into it but surprisingly they thought it was great. They loved carrying their buckets (Kayden was not into carrying after awhile and had Tatum lug the heavy things around) and putting the candy in their buckets. They would ask people for more or just go ahead and take more and put it in the bucket. I guess the novelty was just the "getting something" even though they didn't know what they were getting. It took about an hour to go around one block but it was super fun watching them go up and down the walkways, wait at the door and get their treat. They did get scared at one house with everyone dressed up like vampires and some big kids in costume also gave them a little fright. When we got home they dumped their goods on the floor and inspected the hard nights work and the daddies started stealing the candy. Kayden had a sucker as his halloween treat, had a few licks and then was done with it. It was such a fun night w/ our little dino! And so much fun going with our new neighbors! Hmmm...now what should I make for Josh and Jaclyn...or should I have Kyle cook for them.....now that would be interesting.
