the long awaited HALOWEEN post
Again, I am super behind, but for all your sakes (cause I know your dying for this) here is the long awaited haloween post. {actually I am posting this now, cause soon haloween will be old news. But it is nice to beleive I have a fan base that is sitting at the edge of their chairs, waiting for me to post!}
We spent haloween in San fransisco. It was an awsome trip, and I will post more about that later, but for now haloween night will do.

Kroten was an elephant, Jared was a garbage man, and I was a pumpkin. Incase you are wondering if I have gained 110 pounds, I have not, this dress was just extreamly unflattering and pooffy.

We went trick or treating. It was so warm in california. I think Kroten started to get the hang of it by the end. He was so cute.

He loved carrying his bag. toward the end, I could tell it was getting a little heavy, but he still insisted on carrying it. Thank gramma for making the bag, it is going to last forever. HE LOVES IT.

He never said trick or treat, but he loved going to the doors. If the people handed him the candy instead of in his bag, he would hand it back. I dont think he understood that what they were handing him was yummy.

Then we went to the fire station. They had it all set up with fun activitys. He was a little young for it, but it was still fun.


Kroten getting below the smoke and crawling to safety.

I think he was scared of the dog.

Carousel
(Editors note: I have had no time and no internet so I am WAY behind on posting, therefore, you get the throw up posting effect for the next week or so.)
A few weekends ago, Jared, Kroten and I drove up to see Sam and Josh. I took some photos of them, Ill post that later. We had an awsome time.
In there adorable little town, there is a carousel and it was so cool. Kroten wasnt sure what to think about it, but he didnt cry. He had the same look on his face for the whole ride. He cracks me up.
Anywho, enjoy the photo frenzie, cause there are lots of them.
The tokens to get on the ride. SO NEAT.

Kroten was so excited to get on. This was in line before getting on. He wasnt so sure about it once it started.


Sammy J and josh on there stalions.

Sam insisted on riding the unicorn.


Don't make fun of Josh for riding the carousel, a man will do anything for his woman.
See, the same scared, kinda concerned look, the entire ride.



Jared even tried making him smile, but nothing would wipe the face off.

This was an awsome activity, something we will be doing lots of in the future.

and the winner is....
Remember the post about Jared's glasses. (thanks for all your votes.) WELL, Jared has made his selection and worn them for a while now. They look great. I personally think he is such a stud, but I am biased. You decide for your self.
Here is the winner...

And of course, Kroten had to be in the picture, he is a stud too.

Home Made Play Dough
We have been so bored lately. I have been thinking that Kroten needs more stimulating toys, so I put my thinker to work, and I made some play dough. It wasnt just fun for Kroten, I had a blast. Here is the recipe for those of you who have kids, or for anyone who feels like baking up something salty.
Home Made Play Dough
2 Cups Flour
1 Cup Salt
4 Tsp cream of tarter
2 Cups Water
2 TBS oil
food coloring
Cook everything over medium heat. Stir constantly.

Keep stiring until it gets doughy and a little more solid.

Knead the dough till it is smooth. (I had already added the food
color in this picture, but this is the consistancy.)

Flatten the dough and add the food coloring. Fold over the dough
and knead in the color. This way it doesnt get on your hands.

and TADA, you have playdough.

Now the hard task is getting a 16 month old to get the concept.
He is slowly getting it.
