Trick or Treat!

 Avery is kind of getting big enough to enjoy holidays. Kind of. This year we decided to try Trick or Treating. It's kind of a big deal here in our neighborhood. LOTS of kiddos come to our door and we love to see their costumes and give them kindness and candy. We had this awesome skunk suit from my nieces. He's super cute in it and it was free. He thinks its a dogga suit though. Everything is a dogga. He got pretty excited to go and get candy. When I told him that he needed to hang onto his (Easter basket) bag because people were gonna give him candy, he held onto it like a drowning man to a life line. We only went to about seven houses, all around ours. That was enough candy and about as much excitement as he could handle at 7:00 pm. Billy was able to come home for about 12 hours and go with us, so it was a nice time.

I'm not sure about these paws...

Come on! Let's go!

Finally!

I'm ready!

To PARTY!

Trick or Treat!

Nom nom nom!!

Nom!

Candy daze... 

What have we here?

No need to unwrap it. 

Let it snow!

It snowed in the middle of October, and this is the first time that I took Avery out to play in it. At first, he didn't know what to think. He cautiously looked over the edge of the patio and very hesitantly took a few steps into the snowy yard. Then, when he realized that it was soft...and edible, he LOVED it. We played out until neither one of us could feel our feet in our cloth shoes and then we came in for "hot hot" (hot chocolate).   It was fun to get out and enjoy something 'new' together. 

Daddy's Helper

Billy recently busted out the entire collection of screwdrivers and did an overhaul on our very old computer. Avery was right there with him. And I mean RIGHT THERE. He was really into helping and it was soo cute! Miraculously, Billy was able to complete the project despite all the "help" and everything is working much better. They have both their eyes and no one got electrocuted. Avery really believes he is responsible for assisting and I can see the beginning of a long and happy partnership.
