Trunk or Treat

We took Brady to trunk or treat last night. We had to make a few stops before hand, but we had a great time once we got there.

I was really worried Brady wasn't going to wear his costume because he previously would run away screaming anytime anyone touched it! So, we talked about how he was going to be Nemo and going to get candy all morning. Then we got really excited when we put it on him and we quickly handed him a treat as soon as he got it on! It worked and we had little to no fussing!!!

Bribery=Success!!!

He is saying YAY! in this picture.

Brady loved getting all the candy! He was not so crazy about all the masks. It didn't matter if it was nice or mean. If it was a mask, he wanted no part of it! Last year, he wasn't scared of masks at all! It is amazing the difference a year can make!

 Trunk-or-Treat is so much better than traditional trick-or-treating! They had a bouncy slide, food, a couple rides, a scary bus, and of course TONS of candy!!!



 Brady has a lovely orange mouth due to an orange iced cupcake. Nice! It really adds to the Nemo costume!

Spooky Weekend Kick-Off

We kicked off the Halloween weekend last night with some friends at a Halloween Party! Brady stayed with my parents because it was late. Halloween has never been my favorite holiday, but Halloween parties are my favorite parties, especially as an adult!!
The rule is you can't come in unless you are dressed up! Every year it is so funny! This year was no exception! The costumes bring a great vibe that seems to carry on throughout the night!
I made our costumes this year. Caleb went as popcorn and I went as cotton candy OR lady Gaga as some decided later. My costume won best girl costume!! We played pin the tail on the cat!  The boys tried to scare the girls! We put wigs on babies! A good time was had by all! I laughed and laughed and laughed!!! It was just what I needed!

We have a few more Halloween festivities before the weekend is over! 

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

                                                                                          

Friends

Some friends of ours moved to a house about 3 miles from us yesterday, so we offered to keep their little boy, Ethan. He is about 4 months older than Brady and I know how hard it is to get ANYTHING done with a little one running around.

So, Ethan came over around 8:30 and it took about 1 1/2 minutes for Brady and Ethan to turn my house into this...

They played and played and played!!!

We had a great day! I was worn out at the end of the day though! They kept me busy! They are sweet boys!

                                             



No!!!

Me: Brady would you like to take a bath?
Brady: No.

Me: Brady do you love mommy?
Brady: No!

Me: Brady would you like to go to bed?
Brady: No!!!

Me: Brady would you like some money?
Brady: No!

Me: Brady would you like something to eat?
Brady: No?

Me: Brady would you like to play?
Brady: No....

Me: Brady would you like to read a book?
Brady: No.

Me: Brady would you like to go to Disney World?
Brady: No!

Insert any question
 I bet $10 he answers no!

This is a fun stage!!!

At least sometimes it is a nice no.

We are working on adding sir and mam to the end of those no's.

It helps that the no comes from the sweetest little voice I have ever heard.

I am so thankful for each little word he says, even if it is no 900 times per day!!!

Disney on Ice

Brady, my mom, my sister, Noah, and I went to Disney on Ice yesterday. Brady LOVED it. He danced and clapped his little heart out! The theme this time was Toy Story 3. I enjoyed it more this year as well. We went last year, but Brady was only about 9 months old. He was able to pay more attention and interact a lot better this year around. He was behaved like a little angel without any fits or tantrums. YAY Brady!! I love getting to do things like this with him!!!
