SUPERHEROES

Our two boys were Superheroes for Halloween this past weekend. Daniel was Batman and Jaxon of course was Superman. Daniel asked to wear his costume so much the past few weeks Halloween was a little anticlimactic, he didn't even want to wear his mask or cape. The cape because the dog would chase it and tackle him to the floor, and the mask because it made his face sweat. We specifically selected the Superman costume for Jaxon because it had no coverings for his face and it made his eyes look even more blue than usual. Over the past few weeks I have been "flying" them through the house and teaching them about how real superheroes don't fight but protect the people around them.

My parents came to visit from southern CA for Halloween weekend and my mom's birthday. My dad of course was the supplier of everything Daniel could possibly want. When he refused to eat breakfast my dad took him for doughnuts. When he wanted to have juice my dad loaded him up. My father takes his role of Pauna (grandpa) very seriously. My mom (Mumzie) on the other hand is the epitome of patience. She never flinched when both my boys stuck their heads in the shower with her. She would read to them and both my parents took the boys to the park and on walks. I love it when they visit. They really do spoil us.

This year it was fun that Daniel actually understood how to get candy. He took his trick-or-treating very seriously. He would say "that house next" then run off to the next door. He said his trick-or-treat clearly and always said "thank you". It was so cute. Jaxon followed faithfully behind his older brother. He would go to the door and point at the decorations. We didn't have a bag for him to collect candy because Johnny would have eaten it all since Jaxon could not. He never stayed at one door long enough to get te candy anyway. The one sucker we did let him hold he ripped through the paper and went to town on the tootsie pop. Once we realized what he was doing we of course took it away to keep him from getting sick. He screamed as if his life were over. It was so sad. That was probably the greatest thing he has ever tasted!

Daniel was so excited he totally peed his pants half way through the neighborhood. After that he wanted to ride in the stroller and we carried Jaxon. Daniel said he didn't want a rash on his booty. It was a little frustrating but totally cute. We made our way home and had a great night together as a family.
