Our scary helper

We are working on repainting the island in our kitchen. Well, as soon as Nate gets out the toolbox, Kevin wants to help. He is wearing his scary mask so he doesn't breathe in the dust while sanding. Safety first!

Man in the Moon

Today, while driving home, Kevin said "I see the man in the moon, Mommy. Where is his neck"?

How do I respond to that?

Lunch with ladies

We were in Chicago for Thanksgiving and had a great time with Grandmom, Grandpop & Uncle Brian.

On Friday we met my friends for lunch. It's been months since they have seen Kevin and all the girls had fun asking Kevin about his favorite things (what he does and school, what he'd like for Christmas).

Kevin & Ben

Before our drive home yesterday we stopped to visit the Dewart's. Kevin loved playing with Ben's toys. Thanks for sharing so well Ben!

Karen's Wedding

Kevin had a terrific weekend, and so did we! We were in Chicago for my college roommate's wedding. Kevin spent half the weekend with Grandmom & Grandpop and the other half with Nicole & Joe. We all had so much, we're a bit sad the weekend excitement is over.

Friday night at the rehearsal dinner:

Pretty bridesmaids: The roommates, with Nate (he was our honorary college roommate for several years).

Jumping in the leaves!

Such a treat... the weather here was warm and sunny all weekend. We did a lot of yard work today, including raking a big pile of leaves. Kevin had so much fun jumping in the pile of leaves.

Nicole & Joe came for lunch today. Kevin made sure to invite Uncle Joe to jump in the leaves with him!

Trick-or-Treat

We weren't sure how much of Halloween Kevin would understand this year. Well, he understood that Halloween = candy! Our little Fireman had fun trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.

It was a chilly night, so we had to bundle up. Luckily Kevin's raincoat is also a fireman coat, so it matched his costume.

Kevin was not shy. His candy strategy was to take only candy wrapped in blue wrappers. Blue is his favorite color! At first, I wasn't sure if he was more excited to ring the doorbell at each house or to collect the candy. In the end, it was the CANDY!

Grandpop had the important job of passing out candy at our house while me, Nate, and Grandmom took Kevin trick-or-treating. Grandpop & Daddy were also in charge of "inspecting" the candy when we got home. That must be a dad job.

Kevin loves is scary mask from school. He yells "BOO" really loud!
