"I scared mommy."

We picked out this tiger costume for Dax and for some reason every time I'd show it to him or ask him to put it on he'd say " I scared mommy." For the longest time he would barely even touch it. But after much coaxing, reading books about tigers, making tiger noises and showing him that he looked silly in the mirror, he finally loves it. He loves the paws the best and pretends to scratch you while he makes a tiger noise. I tried to paint whiskers and a nose on him but every time he even saw the pencil he'd run and say no. Oh well still a pretty cute little tiger.

We went over to Scott's moms house and took pictures of the kids. Maddex is Nemo and Jett is squirt the turtle. Pretty dang cute. Maddex pretended to swim in the leaves.

October Fun!

Dax and I went and saw my sister Amy and her family in October. Our trip was very low key and relaxing (greatly needed). Dax loved playing with Aidan and Jack. All three of them ran up and down the halls, played trains, watched Handy Manny and Dinosaur Train. It's always fun to see cousins play well together.

Friday we went to the annual Harvest Festival. Aidan ended up getting sick and wasn't able to come but Dax and Jack still had fun. The Harvest Festival was more fun this year with the boys being older. They enjoyed it all; the hay maze, the pumpkin patch, the tractor, the jump and bounce, and air filled catapillar and mostly the pumpkin doughnuts. I think we ate a dozen and then took a dozen home. They are that good. Dax picked out his own pumpkin and we carved it a little later that week. Dax thought the pumpkin guts were "ewe yuck" so he enjoyed drawing on it.

I always have a good time when I visit my sister. It's nice to visit, relax and watch the kids play. Some of Dax's other favorite times there included; watching baseball and football with Mike, playing with the "big truck", playing with but watching from afar the little dinosaur that walked and made noises (he wasn't quit sure) and waiting to eat breakfast with Aidan and Jack.
